About This Book

The author offers a practical, occasionally humorous handbook for married couples that blends anecdote with counsel on courtship decisions, adjusting to married life, and improving imperfect matches. Topics include choosing a spouse, vows and honeymooning, household furnishing, finances, servant management, preparation for parenthood, child-rearing and parental education, domestic politeness, family health, and ways to sustain affection through quarrels and later years. The tone favors everyday disciplines, sensible division of duties, and small strategies of courtesy and mutual support intended to preserve domestic cheer and enable conjugal affection to survive beyond the first bloom of romance.

THE CENTURY ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE
PRICE 1/4 MONTHLY.

⁂ With the November issue, which commenced a New Volume, the publication of THE CENTURY MAGAZINE in this country passed into the hands of Mr. T. FISHER UNWIN.

It is hoped that under the new auspices the Magazine will not only maintain but increase its popularity with the British public.

It will be found that the prospective arrangements are more general and English in interest than usual. The subject of the Life of Lincoln is of world-wide interest. The authors of the two serial novels, Frank R. Stockton and G. W. Cable, have established an international reputation. And the papers on "ENGLISH CATHEDRALS," "OLD CHELSEA," and similar subjects which will receive efficient treatment, both textually and pictorially, cannot but attract considerable attention in this country. The series of ORIGINAL PORTRAITS of prominent Englishmen, Europeans, and Americans, with accompanying descriptive papers, also appeal to a very wide circle.

Bound Volumes for the half year ending with the October number may now be obtained, Price 10/6.

Cloth Cases for binding the present or past half-yearly volumes can now be had, Price 1/4.

Back Numbers can be supplied; immediate application is requested from persons desirous of completing their sets.

Subscriptions will now be booked. Single copies, post free, 1s. 7d.; or 19s. per year, post free. To be had of all Booksellers, News Agents, and Bookstalls in town and country.

Orders and all business communications regarding THE CENTURY should in future be addressed to

The Century Magazine,
T. FISHER UNWIN, 26, Paternoster Sq., London, E.C.
