Out of the Mouth of Your Babe

(Page 102) August 1945.  Good Housekeeping.
This is another Good Housekeeping article that illustrates both the ideals of some women in America in 1945 and the image the magazine is trying to maintain.

Note the double-sided pressure implied in this article.  On one side, it lists things that your "daughter" would want the mother to correct about herself, while on the other, it lists things that the mother can do to teach the daughter these habits by example.  

"Because most of all, she wants to be proud of you."
