- Following the success of Don"ts for Husbands and Don"ts for Wives a brand new old collection of advice for couples from courtship to the honeymoon.On looking for a partner in life:"Don"t single out a girl if you do not intend to propose to her, for the way in which your conduct is regarded will be greatly influenced by your banking account".On The Question:"Don"t rush but chose an auspicious moment, A man who tries to propose when a servant is expected to arrive with a scuttle of coals is not likely to meet with much favour".On the Engagement:"Don"t allow awkward pauses to break the conversation because your thoughts and eyes are hungrily trying to follow your lover, who is manfully assisting the hostess".On Planning The Event:"Don"t forget that elderly bridesmaids in youthful frocks and girlish hats are ridiculous to the unthinking, and pathetic to those who look below the surface".On Gifts:"Don"t be thoughtless - Good silver is always a joy, but remember the young wife with only one servant will have to rub up her own silver backed brushes and sweetmeat dishes if she wants them to look nice".The Honeymoon:"Don"t indulge in a long honeymoon. Undisturbed possession soon palls, and man was made for something more virile than perpetual billing and cooing".
