A PASSING THOUGHT
It is the misfortune of husbands that wives get used to them. They present no aspect of strangeness, or newness, or romance, after a few years of breakfast-table association. They are like the dear old dressing-gown hanging on the door. You stretch out your hand for it and know that it’s there. And thus it is that wives are prone to forget that husbands may present a totally different aspect to other women, who don’t visualise them as dressing-gowns, but as dinner jackets complete with gardenia buttonhole, so to speak. Which is why it is as well, every now and then, to pretend that you visualise the full-dress regalia behind the conjugal deshabille, even if you don’t really believe in it. Because if you don’t, you may be sure some other woman will!
