How To Cook Husbands

Elizabeth Strong Worthington was a popular American writer during the latter part of the 19th century. "e;A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew, by irritating ways and words; others roast them; some keep them in pickle all their lives. Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way-turnips wouldn't; [10]onions wouldn't; cabbage-heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated."e;
