"MARY'S CAREER"
The Ages of Woman
will be a series of talks by a young married woman on her career from the time she left school. "Mary," as this young New Zealander is called, will tell listeners what she had in mind when she left school and how circumstances and her own character shaped her life. She got a job in an office, which she’ didn’t like, then she took to teaching, went to the University, and got the B.Com. degree. There is a good deal about Mary’s work as a teacher. She found that she had rather a gift for coaching the girls in games. Then she got engaged and the young couple thought for a time about farming. However, they found that was impossible, so they finally settled in a suburb, NEW feature in the NBS session for women
bought a piece of land, built their own house to their own plan, and settled down to live on a small income. Mary describes how they made their garden, planned their house, and experienced all the worries and joys of setting up housekeeping. Then there was a baby. The series ends with some practical advice on household budgeting on little money. Listeners will find this a very human document, and many of them will recognise in what happened to Mary some of their own experiences. But there is a good deal also that will be new to listeners, and they should get profit as well as entertainment from it. The first talk will be given in the Women’s Session from 2YA on Saturday morning, June 29.
