Show Man-Made Morality Rebecca West, the novelist, said at a dinner in New York : "Morality, most of It, reminds me of a young man who was the answer-to-correspondeuts editor on a newspaper. news-paper. "A question came in to him one day: " 'Do you think it is right for a girl to sit in a man's lap even if she is engaged?' "His answer to the question was: " 'Yes, if it were our girl and our lap. Yes, again, if it were some other chap's girl and our lap. But if it were our girl and some other chap's lap, decidedly no, no, no. We don't approve of all this modernity.' " |
