A home economics scrap book project made by an unidentified young lady and aspiring homemaker, receiving an "A" from her teacher with the following comment on the upper pastedown: "Examples are excellent." The student has pasted magazine clippings into the album and labeled them carefully in ink, with occasional brief comments. There are examples of architecture ("English Half Timber"; "Norman", "Spanish"); interior design ideas (brick feature walls, patterned wallpaper, different kinds of rugs, and a new invention, linoleum); fashion and dress silhouettes (Grecian, Patrician, Coquette, Gamine), examples of good posture in women (no slumping allowed); ideal neck lines and hat styles for face shapes (such as round, thin, square). There is also a charming page titled "My Bad Habits" in which the young lady has listed gossip, staring, and chewing on a pencil in class as her bad habits, with a comment in pencil by the teacher: "Talking is not a bad habit as long as it is not malicious!". An object that is both utterly charming and could probably be fruitful as a case study in gender roles c1955. Single vol. (14.5" by 12.5") with approx. 40 blank leaves with ink manuscript and magazine clippings, bound in original scrapbook covers embossed with Native American bust in profile on upper cover and secured in left-hand margin with olive green cord. Good to very good. Toned and brittle with some loose leaves, the occasional short tear. Dust soiling and light wear to extremities. Cord becoming loose/tender.
