There She Is

In my travels around the Internet, I found these pictures of Ruth Malcomson, who was crowned Miss America in 1924:

She is so beautiful, isn't she? This was the standard for beauty and poise 90 - yes, ninety - years ago.

These were her 10 rules for beauty, as published in a magazine article during  her reign:

Rise early.
Eat a hearty breakfast.
Exercise.
No alcohol.
Smoking is detrimental.
Get outdoors.
Eat a light lunch.
Eat a satisfying dinner.
Early to bed.
Sleep.

A lot of wisdom there, yes?

Ruth Malcomson Schaubel passed away in 1988. Here's a lovely obituary.

Do you think our modern standards of beauty match up to those of 1924?
