Launderess ... This looks like the one that's coming with my new 'Tag.
Don't you get a kick out of these women they draw? I don't think I every saw my Mom in heels doing housework. She did wear high heels on ocassion, however, to the grocery store and definitely wore heels to Mass on Sunday.

Think that was the "June Cleaver" theory of housework. But come to think of it most housewives shown on television or in the media wore high heels, starched shirtwaist dresses and heels when doing housework. Oh yes, don't forget the pearls.
Let me see, we had:
Mrs. June Cleaver
Mrs. Cunningham (Happy Days)
The mother on Father Knows Best
Lucy and Ethel IIRC were more real life in that they wore flats with slacks and a big blouse when house cleaning.

Was Eddie Haskell a big "kiss-up" to the adults, or what? June and Ward had his number figured out ~ so did Wally and the Beav!! LOL
I was reading my Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook from the 1950's the other day and it told homemakers to always be pleasant as they went about their chores. They should get up in the morning and dress in comfortable clothing, wash their face, comb their hair, and put on a bit of perfume; they would then be surprised at how well their family responded!!
Oh ... most importantly ... wear sensible shoes to do their housework in!! I don't think 2-4" high heels qualified.

Ward, I'm worried About the Beav.
In home economics we were taught to always put on a clean frock and freshen up before husband came home from work. Said husband shouldn't be greeted by a drudge moaning about how hard her day was dealing with the household, children and her chores.
The businessman upon coming home should find his home an oasis from the troubles of the office, so the theory went. A housewife was no to trouble her husband with petty household problems the minute he walked into the door. Neither were his children to "bother" him. Once the "lord and master" arrived home all was to be done to arrange his comfort.
Guess what grade I got? *LOL*
Only reason ever watched LITB reruns was to look at Wally, Beav's big brother. Can see why girls went crazy over him. A 1950's BMOC, right down to the varsity jacket.

Speaking of Women Arising Early
There were then, and probably still now, women whose husbands never saw what they looked like without make-up.
These women would "put their face to bed" after hubby was in bed already and prolly post any funny business, and always arose before he did to get dressed/made up. IIRC think this sort of thing fell under "keeping the mystery alive" in a marriage.

Venus ... I love your comments about home ec!
I remember my Mom always having a happy demeanor around the house while she was doing her chores ... she still does. We ate dinner promptly at 5:00 p.m. every night and believe me, we all had to be seated; my Dad was really funny about that. My Mom and Dad did the dishes together every evening (no dishwasher in our house until the 1970's). We boys (3 of us) were to get our homework done and leave my parents alone while they had their private time doing the dishes.
Funny what we remember from our childhoods, huh?
BTW ... Wally Cleaver always seemed like a great brother to me. He was always sticking up for the crazy things the Beav did. Loved his hair!!

I've seen Tony Dow in much later shows and though graying, has held up very well, MUCH better than Jerry Mathers did.
Barbara Billingsley has also aged well.
