THE BESTSELLING NOVEL FOLLOW-UP TO WITTY BESTSELLER LIVE ALONE AND LIKE IT

Orchids on Your Budget gives advice on all manner of subjects, from entertaining and creating the perfect capsule wardrobe to relinquishing the family estate. Lest you worry about how to put the advice into practice, each chapter concludes with a case study providing examples of women who heeded - and those lamentable souls who ignored - Marjorie''s wise words.

''It''s not difficult to have fun out of economising (up to a point), both because of the sense of achievement it gives you and because everyone else is doing it, too . . A slight financial pressure sharpens the wits, though it needn''t sharpen the disposition. But it takes an interesting person to have an attractive menage on a shoe-string and to run it with gaiety and charm . . . Maybe you would rather play polo than pingpong, but if you''ve got an old pingpong set and no ponies, you''ll get a lot more fun out of life from being a pingpong champion than from taking a dispirited whack with a polo mallet every now and then.''
