Elsie De Wolfe. Correct Table Silver Its Choice and Use

This is a very good softcover copy with only light wear to the covers. Pale tan, stiff card covers with a black & silver title label tipped onto the front cover. Very clean inside and out.

Suggestions on how to 'start off a bride' and how to eventually acquire enough table silver so that at 'each stage of a bride's career' she may entertain in a perfectly correct manner. Precise rules for exactly which pieces and how many of them are required and of course, how to 'perfectly' deploy them during the evening. Illustrated in black & white with a frontispiece portrait of Elsie de Wolfe and many photographs of suggested table settings. 8 separate black & white photographic plates are contained in a folder on the inside back cover. Each plate shows a different style or pattern and all the necessary pieces and optional accessories and a description of Lady Mendl's opinion of the ware. 12" high X 9.5" wide, about 40 pages + plates.
