Great little book from 1913, yes things were very different then so what was serious advice is now quite funny. Yet, in saying this there is an undertone of sensibility to the advice presented and many of the items are equally as relevant today as they were 100 years ago.
Appropriately titled. Not as outdated as one would think, in my opinion. A very interesting read.
Four and a half out of five.
