Chapter 18 – What is “Art”?
Chapter 18 - What is "Art"? opens with the recollection of a young artist's uncertainty in the shadowy world of foreign studios, where the phrase "it's not Art" was often wielded as a conclusive critique. These dismissals, vague yet powerful, cast doubt not only on the work produced but on the very identity of the creator.

Chapter 17 - Etiquette At Home and Abroad begins by examining a cultural blind spot that many Americans and even some English people share: the undervaluing of politeness in everyday life.

Chapter 15 – The Grand Opera Fad

Once regarded as the dominant figure—the leader, the provider, the protector—the American husband is now portrayed as an almost domesticated figure, more cooperative than commanding. This transformation didn’t occur overnight but has evolved through societal expectations, economic shifts, and changes in how marriage is perceived.…
