Description: This Good Housekeeping Magazine from January 1909 has a variety of interesting articles. The opening article is about women all over the country involved in civic betterment of all types. There's also an article on safety problems in school buildings, and an editorial by author and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman complaining about a presidential commission on rural life that had no female members or input from farmer's wives. A children's story is about a girl with the Measles - a disease that was a growing problems during this period. For antique lovers, there's an article on patch boxes. Another article examines the ideas of Frank Alvah Perkins of the New York School of Art ( now Parsons School for Design) on the psychological effects of color harmony. The cooking section includes a week's menus with no meat and includes some recipes - not nearly as appealing as such a menu would be today! There's plans for an toy automobile for children to make from wooden spools, pill boxes and bristol board, and floor plans and photos of a California cottage. There's also a variety of ads, including a handsome image of a woman golfer in an ad for Pinehurst, North Carolina. The cover is by Cushman Parker. Fascinating key to a long gone era.
