Label TextIn this morality tale about an upper-class Englishwoman who marries a man with little money and comes to regret it, her husband buys her a dress he can ill afford. Here, her materlalism begins to dawn on him, in a scene that marks the beginning of their marital split. Raleigh specialized in depicing scene of high society, often in popular fiction for The Saturday Evening Post. He also illustrated for distinguished authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, and Sinclair Lewis.
