How To Be A Good Husband

Product Description

Ideal gift book for those who like to look at etiquette & manners over the years. Give it to your husband or boyfriend & see if he conforms with any of the tips therein, after all, the art of being a good husband is not an easy one. This little guide was written for the middle classes of the 1930s who were reading one of the first modern self-help books. Illustrated with contemporary line-drawings, it contains advice by turns delightfully arcane & timelessly true, for example: " Don't squeeze the tube of toothpaste from the top instead of from the bottom". This is one of the small things of life that always irritates a careful wife. Don't think that your wife has placed waste-paper baskets in the rooms as ornaments. Don't tell your wife terminological inexactitudes, which are, in plain English, lies. A woman has wonderful intuition for spotting even minor departures from the truth. Do cultivate the habit of coming down to breakfast with a smile. Remember that as the head of the house, it is your duty to see that everyone starts the day in an atmosphere of happiness. Don't criticise the food at your own table when you are entertaining & especially refrain from doing so before the servants. Make a great grown-up gift Christmas stocking filler or secret santa gift.
