London. Elkin Mathews & Marrot. 1932. First edition. Green cloth-backed paper-covered boards, with an Art Deco inspired pattern in metallics and cobalt blue. Dust jacket with matching pattern and title labels pasted to spine and front board. 160 pages, printed on varied colour paper stock. Line drawings illustrated the text throughout. English. Very good; title rubbed on cloth spine, light wear to forecorners and head and base of spine; offsetting of flaps of dust jacket to endpapers; some mild wear and tear to fragile dust jacket, with some small losses, spine label worn with some loss to edges, the glue applied by the publishers to the front label has caused some staining and wrinkling to paper; a well-preserved copy with no inscriptions and with the scarce and fragile dust jacket.

A 'self-help' book for the Bright Young Thing. The book's full title is 'Chez James. The Wisdom and Foolishness of James: being a collection of papers concerning that Estimable and Lovable English Gentleman, gathered together by his Disapproving Family, and re-arranged by his Old Friends'. It provides a witty and tongue-in-cheek guide to modern manners and social etiquette for the young man about town, in this instance James Fitzroy Adolphus Montgomerie, 10th Bt.. Contents include 'James has well-defined Views on the Clubman', 'James warns his Nieces of the Pitfalls of Polite Conversation with Members of the Senior Service', 'James Invents a new Pastime for Wet Weather', and 'Inappropriate Menus'. Rose Henniker Heaton was the author of 'The Perfect Hostess' and of the prequel 'Dinner with James' published a year earlier.

Wonderful formula, questionable packaging?
Trying to find a moisturizer for my combination skin and so far so good! Very light weight and not sticky. Has a very light citrus smell but not bothersome. Will probably continue to purchase because my skin seems to respond well to this company’s products. I don't like that the product looks… empty or used upon opening my package. The tube just feels half empty… opened it and there’s a seal so I guess it wasn’t used. Just wish they filled the tube or something.

Feels refreshing, but not for super sensitive skin
I wanted to love this, but my rosacea prone skin is just too sensitive for it. Pretty sure it has caused some minor break outs, as well. A blemish or 2 seem to pop up shortly after using (I really haven’t had much of a problem lately with blemishes, and this is the only thing that had changed in my skin care routine). It also may be making my rosacea flare more, making my face appear redder. It feels great going on, very refreshing, but I did notice the tiniest bit of stinging, which tells me it is irritating my super sensitive skin. The smell is ok, but not as amazing as some made it out to be. I don’t think my skin would tolerate using it daily, I currently only use it once a twice a week, before bed. I love how cooling it is. It is great for layering under, when you need a little boost of hydration and is great for summer. It is on the much lighter side, as far as hydration goes, being that it is a gel.

Amazing!
I found this item online as a possible dupe to farmacy honey halo due to some matching ingredients. I have sensitive skin and prone to closed comedones. This is a fantastic moisturizer and definitely will be my new go to.

Happy face
I've been using this for the past six months and it's easily become my favorite moisturizer. It smells great and the gel consistency is just right, not watery or really thick. It's light, but a little bit sticky. My favorite thing is it doesn't sit on top of your skin and smear off like I've had other moisturizers do. Like If you run your finger down the side of your face you get a weird residue, like you would with sunblock. None of that here! I don't wear a full face of makeup, but as someone who has to create my own eyebrows daily the pens and pencils don't weakly smear on top like they do with the other moisturizers that coat your face. The lines turn out very smooth and opaque.
