attractiveness and neatness


What you wear while cleaning house, gardening, or going shopping should give you a sense of attractiveness and neatness.

    From the A. C. Marshall's 'News Chronicle's Housewife's Handy Book' circa 1930s, 'Beauty for the Housewife' p. 353, after advocating standing and walking about 'in front of a full-length mirror... subject your figure, arms legs and feet, to ... merciless scrutiny'.
    Followed by, 'Whatever you see, don't for a moment let it depress you'.
