GIRLS CHAPERONED
Melbourne’s Victory Belles A Victorian, Air. Gordon Currie, has gone to Sydney to organize Victory Belles on the lines of an organization in Melbourne which he says now numbers 9000. The belles are enrolled in groups of 10, each with its own chaperon to help to entertain servicemen at specially organized dances and also at their own homes. No belle, may drink at a dance or leave a hall with a soldier while a dance is in progress. Soldiers may see them home, but only if they travel by bus, train or tram. They must not take a taxi. If any one girl in a group of ten breaks any of these rules she disqualifies all other members of the group from taking part in any more dances. It is not considered likely, however, that Sydney girls will take to this form cf regimented entertainment.
Mrs. E. N. H. Stewart has returned to Napier after visiting AA'ellington. Airs. AValtcr Hodges, AA'ellington, is the guest of Airs. James Bootten, Eltbam.
