An Independent
AT doesn’t belong to any of the clubs, but each Saturday night she asks her father to bring home a couple of lads from his club, and she arranges for a girl friend or two to call round. "It’s lots more fun than going to the pictures, and in a very short time we're jolly good friends. We bombard the boys with questions about Hollywood and what they do back home, and the boys retaliate with similar questions about New Zealand. If we find they’re not the talkative kind we suggest cards, table tennis, Monopoly, or some of the old-fashioned parlour games. Last trams or the town clock striking .twelve don’t worry these boys, and sometimes mother has to remark discreetly that it’s perhaps time we finished up for to-night. They are always reluctant to leave, and their ‘thank you, Mom, we’ve had a swell time’ rings sincerely."
