I. How to duck your wife or husband.
II. What to do and where to go.
III. Do it with what?
Problem I is only for the married.
This chapter is mainly concerned with problem II.
As for problem III, you will have to find the wherewithal yourself. Those without it are advised to remain in Steubenville and learn about New York from these pages.
Those without wives, husbands, children, mistresses, dogs or other encumbrances may skip the next few paragraphs.
I
Most married men of our acquaintance who visit New York regularly tell their wives it's a business trip and get away with leaving the madame home. Once a year, however, or maybe twice, she insists on coming to Manhattan. She wants to shop and see the shows.
Now, if you are a smart guy, you will try to arrange your next such trip to coincide with the similar hop by your best friend and his wife.
You will find that, if supplied with dough, the women will keep occupied all day every day, foraging in the shops.
