Following hot on the heels of the best-selling Don'ts for Husbands, Don'ts for Wives & Don'ts for Golfers this facsimile copy of the original edition contains everything you ever needed to know, from what to wear at a fancy dress party to how to hold your partner during a slow dance. Advice we should all follow: " Don't be a martyr to your feet" " Don't dance with bent knees. Bent knees suggest an ancient cab-horse on its last pathetic stagger or a performing chimpanzee gyrating around its keeper" " Don't disguise yourself as a " Lohengrin" if you happen to be short & stout. This sort of thing is excusable only in an operatic tenor" " Don't straddle" " Don't, Miss Shingled, Bingled or Bobbed, please don't comb your hair in public! It is a habit that is fast gaining ground but it is a deplorable habit. A few minutes reflection will, I am sure, convert you to the masculine point of view
- it is a disgusting habit"
