Mother Tamra's House of Graces

A "finishing school" that caters to young ladies of ambitious families where they are taught how to wash and groom themselves, how to develop a fashion sense and keep a wardrobe looking fresh (including washing and sewing for repairs), etiquette and carriage (how to walk, sit, hold one's hands, etc), how to write polite messages, how to politely and with dignity encourage or discourage social entreaties, dancing and the right things to say in difficult situations.
