THERE never was a man big and strong enough to get out his clean shirt and collar and fix the water for his bath. IT'S when the game becomes a trifle stale that a man begins to feel conscientious qualms about flirting with a woman.

Being a choice of aphorisms from a 'wit and wisdom' style newspaper column which was popular a century ago. The reflections concern themselves largely with love, courtship, and marriage. At the distance of a hundred years, the hit rate for wit is decent, but not great; wisdom makes an occasional appearance. Many readers will be put off by the extremely anachronistic sex roles on offer, and the author's viewpoint is jaundiced, which is also not for everyone. The book will pass muster with lovers of the quaint who enjoy a short visit to the way our forebears looked at domestic life. (

A man buttons a woman's dress up the back with almost the same grace and alacrity that a woman displays in climbing a barbed wire fence.
