Here are the winter-themed LHJ pages I promised you two weeks ago. I hope you find them helpful considering the current weather. The page above is the Sub-Deb column that ran in each LHJ issue and it was targeted to the teens reading this magazine. In a letter to the editor section around July 1940 they published a letter from a teen asking for advise regarding running away. They used this letter to show that the Sub-Deb section was not frivolous as some have commented, so I suppose this editorial was not the favorite of some subscribers! I scanned this particular page because I absolutely love this illustration. it is scenes like this that make me wish so much that I could just step back in time.
There is one of these Line Day pages in each issue. They vary from being very helpful with some great food ideas to being complete gibberish.
Some tips on keeping warm with DIY projects. Once again, why don't modern magazines do this? I really like the flannel slip/underskirt idea; especially considering I have no pants that fit me right now and I'm making due with wool skirts and wool tights this winter!
Lastly, for those into vintage ads, here's one from Kotex. I scanned this one in mainly because I like the girl on the left's outfit. I also like the soda pop shop scene on the bottom left.
Hope you enjoy these, more Ladies Home Journal scans coming!
