Descrizione del libro

This 1899 work appears to have been the first non-fiction work by Teresa Praga (d.1920), who also published novels. It describes how a newly married woman, on a very restricted income, manages a house. A light-hearted but detailed account of the finances and practices of late Victorian housekeeping.
