WHAT THE GIRLS THEMSELVES THINK
CONVERSATION we overheard in a milk-bar threw some light on the method our American friends use to " get acquainted." The boys leaned lazily over the bar while the girls went on polishing the glasses, and in between mouthfuls of ice cream they planned their evening out. They found out what time the girls finished work-5.30 in this case-invited themselved up for tea, and from there on the conversation: was inaudible. The little girl who came round to wipe our table told us she was going out with a sailor occasionally. She’s taken him home for tea and mother had approved of him. They go dancing, and
although she found doing the "jitterbug" rather exhausting at first, she’s now very keen, and thinks our own dances rather dull.
