MAY SOON BE YOURS THR00G0 THIS PROVED BEAUTY METHOD GLORIFY YOURSELF Housekeeping War Job Too You need to fell apologetic Mrs America because you at work in a war plant if you are doing your own house work and taking care of your children You are probably doing more in to help win the war than if you went out tomorrow and got yourself a job in a munitions factory Full-Time Job The British have found that when children are put into day nurseries it takes one full-time employe to take care of only four or five children By staying at-home a woman can not only look after her family but do the housework which she would have to hire done and do the cooking and the washing When mothers of families go into war factories to work nurseries restaurants and laundries have to hire more help Lady Kathleen Simon active in day nursery work in London is advising American mothers of young children not to consider taking full-time jobs outside the home It has already been proved in Great Brtiain she says that of the housewife is the most economical form of labor Long Hours at Home So Mrs America let yourself feel your job is small potatoes when you see pictures of women in overalls doing war work Chances are the girl in overalls works an eight-hour day with time and a half for overtime Keep track of your own time and you will probably find that you are working a 12-hour day seven days a week It is true you haven't the satisfying title of war worker and you can't claim you are doing a job But in "man you are doing all right So stick to your Job BY MBS WEST Mrs West: Much is being done
