"He says a woman deserves a jolly good hiding every now and again." The caveman methods of a defendant in a maintenance case at the Christchurch Magistrate's Court this week, did not appeal to his wife, and she gave as a reason why she objected to living with' him his views of wivfes.

You could see for yourself with the short skirt with the long skirt you're got to guess. That's the mystery—under the skirt."
