GIRLS OF TO-DAY.
A popular . English lady novelist coiftributed many years ago to a L-ondon weekly a series of articles entitled “The Girl of the .Period,” in young ladies of the Itime were sharply criticised. I wonder what the writer would think of some of our 20th century girls with their infatiable qraving for pleasure and amusement ? An Auckland doctor had something to say regarding his matter recently when giving evidence before a committee of the Board off Health. He related how, in an Auckland home,, the mother had had a very serious illness. The first time time she came downstairs she was ordered back to bed, but protested ithat she must first wash up the dishes, When he doctor remarked that surely one of her girls would attend to theft for her she shook her head, observing tha|t the young ladies had gone out for the evening, and that as they worked in town during the day they always declined to do any housework! It’s the fashion to sneer .at the “MidVicoriain girl.” BW she had her good points.
