THE NATIVE WAY
Miss Lucy Mair, a young lecturer at the London School of Economics,. who has spent the past nine months among the natives of Uganda, observes that they are " very modern " in their frequent separations. " For instance," she said " a wife leaves her husband if he will come home late to dinner. And the husband turns her out if she will give him boiled bananas plain instead of flavoured with something else." Surely, in this sense, the Stone Age was modern, too ?
