"HE woman who actively pre-
sides over a home should
- be ranked among the busiest
ard happiest of all women.
Whether she herself attends TO
the countless tasks that make I'D
housekeeping or whether she has
others working under her super
vision, matters not. There is sure
to be plenty of work to take up
her time and attention. And it
is unselfish and constructive
work, for who gives more to the
world than the woman who makes
one corner Of it, that little
glimpse of paradise, a happy
home?
Now it sometimes happens that
this busy home worker, because
her thoughts are so taken up
with the welfare OF others, dis
covers that it is very difficult to
find time TO give her own health
and comfort the attention or care
that they require in order that
she may at all times look and
feel her youngest and freshest
and most attractive.i
Yet like every other woman,
the housewife and home maker is
entitled to her heritage of beauty.
Her problem then is to find time
for beauty measures. which are
generally health measures as well,
without interfering with her mani
fold duties.
