Don't allow yourself to get into the habit of dressing carelessly when there is 'only' your husband to see you. Depend upon it he has no use for faded tea-gowns and badly dressed hair, and he abhors the sight of curling pins as much as other men do. He is a man after all, and if his wife does not take the trouble to charm him, there are plenty of other women who will. Blanche Ebbutt
About This Quote

A woman, you see, is supposed to be feminine and if she is not made to look like a man she is useless. It doesn't matter if she is the most beautiful woman in the world; if she doesn't look sweet and feminine and attractive, she's worthless.
