“PERFECT WIFE” DEFINED
RESULT OF SURVEY IN BRITAIN (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, July 23. The perfect wife and mother is plump and pleasant, never neglects her housework but finds time to take her children out at week-ends. She could not sew when she married, but she learned at classes and now makes all the family’s clothes. Her baby is always well because she attends a welfare centre regularly. She livej at Newcastle-on-Tyne but her name has been kept secret. She was selected out of 1000 mothers and families as a result of a survey led by Sir James Spence. The survey also found the bad mother. She left her living room filthy, there was never a fireguard and she always had time to go to “the ddgs” and leave the children at home.
