TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR MEN
RRRERERERERRRARAARAR AAR
Thou shalt not sit up like a graven image in thy
house, nor refrain from speech because thou hast
only Friend Wife to talk to, for verily she hath
been alone all day and panteth for conversation
as the hart for the waterbrook.

Thou shalt not withhold from her the soft talk
and the jollying that are her due, nor shalt
thou gobble down, without rendering her praise
therefor, the dinner that she hath spent two
hours preparing for thee.

Thou shalt not interfere in the matters that
pertaineth to thy wife alone. Neither shalt
thou dictate to her about the length of her
skirt, nor her hair, nor whether she shall use
rouge or lipstick, or not.

Thou shalt not spend thy evenings glued to the
radio, nor thy holidays and Sundays chasing a
golf ball, or playing at curling, for thy wife
did not marry thee to be widowed before her
time and to have no more of thy society than if
thou wert living in thy cold, cold grave.

Thou shalt not boast about what a sheik thou art
among the ladies, not exploit the beauty and the
slimness of thy blonde stenographer, or pert
housemaid, each of whom are twenty years younger
and fifty pounds lighter than thy wife.

Thou shalt not account it unto thy wife for a
crime that entitleth thee to forsake her for

a flapper, because she hath got fat and middle-
aged, for lo, thou thyself hast acquired a bay
window and thy hair hath departed from thee.
