NEW ZEALANDERS MAKE BETTER WIVES THAN AMERICANS
The American serviceman who found himself a wife in either Australia or New Zealand was very fortunate, for he was getting a better cook and housekeeper than he would get if he married an American girl.
This is the opinion of Miss Beatrice Brown, who returned to New Zealand recently after six years in America and Canada. A resident of Wanganui some 15 years ago, Miss Brown was well known as a buyer for McGruer’s. She is at present on a brief visit to Wanganui as a guest of Mrs. A. B. Collins, dnia Koad.
“The average American girl much prefers to spend her time in a beauty parlour rather than a kitchen, and so most of the meals are eaten away from home. The Americans have no real home life as we know it here in New Zealand.”
