While reading through the newspaper archives today, I found this gem of an article on how a wife can keep hold of her husband.
The article is titled:
Ten Ways Wife Can Hold Hubby
1. Throw away the can opener.
2. Don’t mention fur coat until after the election.
3. Laugh at every one of his jokes – every time.
4. Be sure he has one fourth the space in one of the clothes closets.
5. Handle his late homecomings with gloves.
6. Be a little jealous.
7. Weep not, talk not, nag not.
8. Avoid bridge.
9. Send your mother to the country.
10. Spend an extra quarter of an hour on your make-up.
