Mother of One Daughter
ve |[™ only too pleased," a mother told __us, "to have any Americans brought up to the house, provided Jane rings me up beforehand. With the shortage of such standbys as eggs and tinned food, it’s very hard to provide impromptu meals for two or three extra, The burden of the enteftaining usually falls on me -Jane can’t go out with soldiers and be chief cook and bottle-washer too. Not that I mind, because it’s little enough I can do in return for what’s being done for my sons overseas, "At the moment Jane’s very much taken up with an American officer, I’m a little worried in case she’s being attracted solely by a fascinating accent and a gold-braided uniform, salthough personally I like him. However, because of the quota difficulties I don’t feel justified in encouraging anything in the way of a serious romance."
