So your husband's gone to war!

the long version

Dust jacket notes: "This witty, wise, and practical handbook is designed to aid the wartime wife in solving the perplexities and problems of her strange, new, and husbandless world. With sharp wit and a dry practicality, Mrs. Gorham advises all classes of war wives - the moneyed and the budget-minded, the career woman and the housewife, the woman with children and the woman without. Combining the common sense of a New England horse trader with the salty humor of a woman about town, Mrs. Gorham covers every problem of this practical and emotional crisis. If you've been worrying about those 'wolves in friends' clothing' or 'how to be a bachelor girl - but not really,' a quick glance at the chapter headings will show you where to find an intelligent, workable answer to your problems. Mrs. Gorham is eminently fitted to write this book, for she has for three years been head fashion writer of a smart Fifth Avenue store; she is a wartime wife and the mother of a small child. Written with verve and spirit, So Your Husband's Gone to War is highly entertaining, but perhaps its outstanding quality is the vital, down-to-earth quality of Mrs. Gorham's point of view which combines a deep understanding of the feminine mind with an alert awareness of the exact quality of the adjustment which every wartime wife must make."
