About This Item
New York: James Pott. Good+ with no dust jacket. 1906. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Rubbed, light tone, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; "As a married man I want to enter my protest against the senseless practice of housecleaning. Cannot housewives see that the act is an admission of poor housekeeping ability? A well-kept house is clean. That is an axiom. And if it is clean, where is the need of house-cleaning? I am not the first man to cry out against this practice. I remember to have read numerous articles by the funny men of the press directed against this vice, but to me the affair has no funny side. Is it humorous to have to move all of your belongings from one room to another in a vain effort to escape the deadly ravages of the housewife? Is it a joke to have to eat your meals on the gas-stove and do your writing on the stationary tubs while your wife and the maids are rubbing imaginary dirt from the dining-room and sweeping it from your study? ..." page 31. Humor from well-regarded turn-of-the-century Brooklyn-born author Charles Battell Loomis. ; viii, 237 pages .
