Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Miladi
Think of it! For five cents, to forget that wall-paper and those horrid bricks, to forget that you wore a made-over plaid dress that your soul loathed, to forget that your hair didn't curl, and that you had to make your bed every morn ing, and mend your stockings on Saturdays, and eat soup for your dinner whether you liked it or not (because it would make you grow) to forget, in short, that you belonged to a work aday order of things at all, and to lose yourself in a place called The Riviera, (which you couldn't have bounded in geography class, to save your life!) where people lived in villas and kept French maids, and wore parures of diamonds (what is a parure? I've never heard of one since I left those days behind me).
