and how 2 be a good wife are the name of two manuals orignally published in the 1930s but are now republished by the university of chicago press... CLICK!!!

some quotes from the manuals...

Don’t think that your wife has placed waste-paper baskets in the rooms as ornaments.


Don’t forget that very true remark that while face powder may catch a man, baking powder is the stuff to hold him.


It is a wife’s duty to look her best. If you don’t tidy yourself up, don’t be surprised if your husband begins to compare you unfavorably with the typist at the office.

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

After all is said and done, husbands are not terribly difficult to manage


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



HAVE A NICE MONDAY KIDS!!!
