SNOOPING
NEW OFFICIAL GAME. The Londoner in the Evening Standard Diary told this story:— A young woman I know went to a Labour Exchange the other day. It was a voluntary call. Already she is doing full time work (unpaid) on behalf of our sailors; «he wanted to know if there was more important work she could do. She was interviewed by a woman. She was asked the names of her parents, whether she had any private Jncome. and whether the furniture in her flat was her own. These are very personal inquiries to make of someone seeking to help. Worse was to come. “Are your parents married?” asked the clerk. Fortunately this young woman is a person of spirit. A good many women would submit meekly to this !m pertinent snooping.
