    Ha ha, very good!
    Mrs Dilo, on the other hand, would have been suitably impresed by her husband's frugality.

      Indeed, I have long thought that the firm guiding hand of a masterful husband would be a proper cure for your fancy and unladylike behaviour.

      Hmmm 🤔 clearly finding an appropriate and commanding husband for you, needs to be treated with urgency.

      This is what happens when the fair sex gets access to education beyond their needs.

      One is not averse to a firm and guiding hand... 😊

      I suppose our education should stop in the kitchen ... does Mrs. Clive know this? 🧐

Songs For Men To Serenade Their Wives

  Jack's secret weapon in the "battle of the sexes". These songs work wonders with wives when men find themselves in the 'dog house' or banished to the 'shed' ... which we invariably do. ☹️ "The Wonder of You" is a song written by Baker Knight. It was originally recorded by Vince Edwards in 1958, but this recording has never been released. In an interview with a DJ from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Ray Peterson told the story of how Baker Knight confided that "The Wonder of You" was originally written as a gospel song.
