Originally published nearly 100 years ago, Blanche Ebbutts Donts
for Husbands and Donts
for Wives still ring true. Some pearls are totally antiquated
while others are spot on.
Some of our favourite Donts for Wives
Dont
let your husband wear a violet tie with grass-green socks. If he is
unhappily devoid of colour sense, he must be forcibly restrained, butdont
be sarcastic about your husbands taste in dress.
Dont try to excite
your husbands jealousy by flirting with other men. You may succeed better
than you want to. It is like playing with tigers and edged tools and
volcanoes all in one.
Dont expect your husband to be an angel. You
would get very tired of him if he were.
Donts for Husbands and
