Summary

Bernice has rare beauty and wealth, but is undeniably socially awkward. Her cousin Marjorie does her best to make Bernice into a social vampire. Being a socialite in America in the 1920s, it seems to her that some of the more archaic feminine ideals need to go. Bernice's long, luxurious hair may need to go, too.

Original "Mean Girls"!

Interesting short story, a 1920s. "Mean Girls". A great introduction for teenagers to classic literature. Would have had more impact for them if read by a younger female. Well worth listening to, and it makes a real change from longer novels.
