What Will The Girl Become - A Cautionary Tale

Hello lovelies,


I got a good laugh out of this cautionary poster... whenever I stumble across something like this I'm always surprised that people were allowed to print these sort of things in magazines and newspapers....

I always think that stuff is interesting, too :-) My mom once found an old Home Ec book, with a chapter on "How to be a Good Wife". It said things like, "30 minutes before your husband comes home, make sure the entire house is clean and you're dressed up", and to lie down with cucumbers on your eyes and never to bother him with any concerns until after dinner "because he's had a long day and should come to well-rested, quiet home". Oh, my!
