"TICKETED."
GIRLS AT DANCES. EXPECTED TO BE HELPLESS. STARTLING ALLEGATION. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) WHANGAREI, this day. Speaking of drinking at dances, which the tenor of her remarks suggested was a Do minion-wide practice, Mrs. Perryman, editress of the "White Ribbon," at the annual convention of the North Auckland branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, related instances of young girls becoming so drunk that they could not even remember where they lived. A Wellington taxi-driver, she said, had picked up two such girls in the street early one morning. Girls going to dances, she alleged, often expected to become intoxicated before the evening was out. The speaker said she knew of cases in which girls had attached tickets to their frocks in order that acquaintances should know where to take them home. The girls, she added, expected to be incapable of giving their own addresses.
