OF course, you want to be well dressed. Nor is it vanity that causes this desire. It's simple self-respect, plus a healthy feminine instinct; and the fact that in general American women are the best dressed in the world, is something to take a national pride in.
But did you ever think of this: Being well dressed begins at home?
I got a real shock the other day when I read the report of a censustaker who rang thousands of doorbells all over the country. Mrs. America, the report said, simply lets herself go in her own home. When she's clearing up the breakfast dishes, or rearranging those top shelves, she's all too apt to present a very unlovely appearance. She is making the most common beauty blunder of all.

And, nowadays, it's so easy to wear attractive clothes every minute of the day! There is such a wide variety of well-made, inexpensive outfits to choose from that no woman of even a modest income can be excused for failing to look "dressed-up" in the home as well as out of it.
Why not wear three outfits a day? — cleaning-up. clothes in the morning, a slightly more formal change in the afternoon, and then, of course, one or two very special effects to don just before dinner. Every woman wants to look perfect for her husband, even if she is the best cook in the world besides. And don't be fooled for a minute. The man-in-your-life doesn't fail to notice, though sometimes he may not say anything.
Let's just go through a day-inthe-home, with attention to these three outfits.
