Hats off to the illustrator for not giving Mrs. America the traditional hyper-exuberant look. She's clearly thinking, Let's enjoy our snowy white lunch without bouncing off the walls, okay? From the March issue of Family Circle magazine.

Ah, Fifties. What an easygoing time you were. "Vanishing Shelves" were cause for rejoicing rather than one more surface to try and keep clean. Local schools gave away giant vats of peanut butter to enamored youth. Nobody minded if you spilled paint all over the desert, and keeping the walls clean was more fun to the average woman than a dream date with Sinatra. (Well, actually I agree on that one. I can't stand Sinatra.) Clipped from (Clockwise, left) Sunset , April 1950; Family Circle , August 1953; Sunset , April 1950; Family Circle , May 1950.
