Keep beauty in your marriage—part 2. From True Story, 1920.

Be kind to your husband. Don’t shock him by smearing your face with a heavy, greasy night cream. Choose a protective cream that is quickly absorbed and leaves you looking lovely while it effectively works away to prevent dry skin. This rule holds true for your hands, too. Always use a greaseless lotion or cream. Just before you hop  into bed enjoy the luxury of dabbing perfume or liquid sachet behind your ears and at the base of your throat. Be sure the scent matches your body cologne. You’ll float off to dreamland in style.

During the day, while you are doing your housework, make it a point to look neat and presentable. Then you won’t have to run for cover if a neighbor drops in or tradespeople interrupt you in the middle of your chores. It’s a good idea to hang a mirror in the kitchen with a shelf or drawer that can be stocked with a small beauty kit for emergencies; hand lotion for before and after dishwashing and messy chores; a comb, a compact and lipstick for a quick slick-up job. Keep two pairs of household gloves in the drawer.

This new type of latex mitt is specially designed to hug your wrists so that water doesn’t seep in on your hands. Yet, you have perfect flexibility of your fingers when you are laundering or dishwashing. To protect your manicure while dusting or using the vacuum, don a pair of of cotton gloves.

Steal as little as twenty minutes daily to relax. You have to protect your good disposition as well as your looks. Let this be your yardstick for success: When the boys ask your husband, “Who was that dream we saw you with last night?” His proud answer will, of course, be, “That lady was my wife!”
