BOREDOM IS THE ENEMY
OF BEAUTY
I AGREE with Mrs Pamela Pardoe
when she anya boredom is the enemy of beauty. It is the woman with a full, busy life, interesting hobbies and a life of her own outside the home who stays young, bright and beautiful in spite of her years.
Conversely the housewife who has too little to do and does not know how to use her leisure to advantage seems to lose her looks more quickly. And, even more important, her zest for living.
Mrs Pardoe is 28. She does all the housework of her modern three-bedroomed house at Croy- don and also helps her chemist husband in the garden, "though I'm more Interested in my indoor plants.

One of her favourite hobbies is teaching her sous, 11-year-old Michael and 7-year-old John, to be good future husbands. Both boys chop wood and can do good job on washing-up. teaching Michael to cook loves it and is getting on well." MARRIED AT SIXTEEN
