Remember This? Part II: 1965

The March 1965 issue of Woman's Day was likely laying on the coffee table in my childhood home fifty years ago. It's no wonder I love the advertising artwork and feel comfortable with the trends. There was a great article on new hair styles with diagrams for cutting and rollers.

We wore 'falls' to achieve this 'new' hairstyle:

 It reminds me of Meghan in Mad Men. I sure remember wearing a scarf or headband with this look.

 Oh, those rollers! I had slept in large ones and I don't know how I did it.

No one can forget those iconic Breck Girls. 

 

Basements were being tricked out for youth parties. That bright pink wall color is unbelievable.

'Early American decorating' was undergoing a 'tweak'. The painted furniture reminds me of today's trends. 

 There were ads for home sewers.

 And patterns for spring suites in spring colors.

 Embroidered pillow patterns.

I never heard of "Frank Fritters." I guess they didn't catch on in my part of the country.

Nor did Mom ever make me a Jelly Stack.

 I do love 1960s art. These two were pics in a pullout section of recipes.

 I will spare you the Brains Barbizon recipe.

And these illustrated a page on Potato dishes from Finland.

Pyttipannu

• Cold cooked potatos

Chop all the ingredients, but cheese, into 1" cubes. Saute the onion in a small amount of fat until golden. Add the other ingredients and sate until golden. Before serving sprinkle the dish with grated cheese. Serve with fried eggs and ketchup.

 A shared advise column called Neighbors has this lovely tea illustration. Mary Weberg of Paulina, OR suggested keeping a blank recipe file card in one's purse. When you want a friend's recipe you hand it to them.

"When you use a recipe, of course you think of the person who gave it to you and the occasion of the giving."

An article on Georgetown was illustrated in line art. The original pages were pink!

An advertisement for Bell Telephone.

 This is a sweet illustration for a three column article on March gardening.

 Note the pill box hat on the beauty counselor. I never heard of this business.

Yowser! There were theater reviews in this woman's magazine! The Subject was Roses on Broadway starred Irene Dailey, Martin Sheen and Jack Albertson. The review by Hollis Alpert went on a whole page after this page:

Oh, my! I am feeling pretty old. I should follow Margret Merril's advice and damp a cloth in lemon jelvyn freshener and press over my face, lie back and let the lemon tone and refine my skin. Followed up with oil of olay I will have a day-long dewy look.
