A Guide to Men: Being Encore Reflections of a Bachelor Girl

by Helen Rowland

A series of occasionally witty one-liners, poems and considerations on the subject of Men, Women and their Conjunction. By turns tender, bland, sexist (in both directions!) and funny. Summary by Cori Samuel. From the text: A man is like a park squirrel; if you fling your favors or your charms at his head he will never come up and eat out of your hand. Even Satan could find a woman to call him "Dearie," if he would simply tell her that all he needed was "a beautiful woman's uplifting influence." Every bride fancies that she married the original "cave-man" until she tries to persuade him to go out and argue with the furniture-movers.
