MANNERS FOR MR.
1. Never turn to your wife in company and explain something to her with pseudo patience as though she were a halfwit you had in tow. 2. Don't correct her generalities of measuring distances and amounts. Women understand each other in these matters. 3. Don’t look so resigned as you wait for her to pass ahead of you. 4. Don't teach her to drive a car or play bridge or golf. Engage someone else. 5. Don't tell her you can’t stand red fingernail polish and then admire other w’omen who wear it. 6. Don't call your boy “her” son when he’s naughty and “our” boy when he's good. 7. Don’t be jealous of her men friends and then ask one of yours to take her to a theatre when you’re too busy. Her friends are probably as civilised as yours, and no doubt more trustworthy. 8. Don't fail to have an understanding about expenditures BEFORE marriage. It's hard for any woman to realise that she has no rights. 9. Don't forget to tell her often that you love her. 10. Don’t overlook anniversaries for they’re important in marital romance.
