the more things change?

I have always had a soft spot for vintage things.  Probably because everything my grandmothers owned was vintage, though not vintage when acquired.  When I played in their homes, I was able to set my mind to the way back machine.

The Mary Circle of Woman's Society of Christian Service Methodist Cookbook is my current favorite vintage thing.  It is the cookbook from whence the 'famous' apple pie recipe came.  It is also the handy home of helpful hints for modern women.  

OK.

Modern 1961 women.

You get the idea.

As I am stout, I was pleased to see that there are hints for me to dress. (And there are some nifty looking relish recipes that go with...maybe it is so I can work on reducing my form?)

When I tried to crop the picture, it looked even more awkward ...
