About this book
Dorothy Dix, her book is by Dorothy Dix and includes a piece headed How a Husband Likes to Be Treated. The piece headed How a Husband Likes to Be Treated says that, as a class, women do not know how to treat a husband. The text says the great majority of women still go stumbling along into misery and divorce because they have not had the wit to find out how to rub man’s fur the right way, and make him purr under their hands.
The writer urges girls to try to be themselves, plus, as they say in business, and to raise whatever charms of body, or mind, or heart, they have to its n th power. The text says imitation airs and graces have about as much sparkle to them as imitation diamonds. The text says no woman can ever understand why a man doesn’t put forth the same effort to make his home a going concern as he does to make his business or profession a success.
