Millionaire Households published in 1903 with cover art by Margaret Armstrong. Here’s a fun quote from the book:
“But let no one suppose that the mistress of millions of money and many earthly mansions is a woman of leisure. This is very far from the case. She is often one of the hardest worked members of the community. It must be confessed — this is chiefly her own choice, and not a matter of compulsion, unless devotion to pleasure be regarded as compulsory. That she seldom gets any old-fashioned ” beauty sleep ” is owing to the constant round of entertainments in which she takes part, either as hostess at home or guest elsewhere. However, the skillful masseuse — the complex ion renovator is as regularly employed as the manicure and hair-dresser. Wrinkles are out of date for all who will pay to have them rubbed out scientifically.”
