Marjorie Hillis (1889–1971) was an American author of popular nonfiction books for women in the 1930s.

[2] The family moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1899, when Marjorie's father became pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church there, a pulpit once held by the famous abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher.

After completing her education at Miss Dana's School for Young Ladies, a private school in New Jersey, and traveling abroad for a year, Marjorie went to work writing captions for Vogue magazine's pattern book.

[4] Orchids on Your Budget, which was subtitled Live Smartly on What You Have, was built around hypothetical “cases” that encouraged women to match their goals with their financial means.

In 1939, Hillis married Thomas Henry Roulston, a widower who owned a chain of grocery stores in Brooklyn.
