Answer:
Definition of Mind-and-Millinery Novels These mind-and-millinery novels stick to a particular formula. The heroine, or female lead, was always impossibly beautiful, wealthy, bright, popular, and virtuous beyond measure. She would, of course, have dozens of suitors, all of them rich, intelligent or morally upstanding.

In the 19th century, millinery shops sold women's hats and the style of the day tended to be extremely decorative and impractical. Likewise, Eliot considered these novels to have over-dressed language and impractical plots.
