The Habits of Good Society – 1859
It was well said by a late eminent barrister, that literature in ladies should be what onions ought to be in cookery; you should perceive the flavour, but not detect the thing itself. Excerpt from The Habits of Good Society Anonymous, 1859

The Cinnamon Bear went on to become a costume character at Lipman-Wolfe and other department stores around the country during the holiday season.
