John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 12 June 1924:<br> WOMEN IN PRINT.<br>…<br> “H.L.” writes as follows to “The Post”:—“Being a country resident, I had occasion to visit <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> to-day, and was accompanied by my wife and child (aged two years). After finishing our business we entered a tea room for afternoon tea, but before we had time to get seated we were informed that if we brought the child in it would have to be paid for, which we intended to do in any case, as the child required refreshments as well as ourselves. We were further informed that they did not cater for people with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a>. Immediately afterwards a lady entered with an infant in arms who looked very fatigued, and before she could get seated she was also informed that they did not cater for people with children, but there was a place further up the street who did. This annoyed me very much; to think that a mother has to put up with this treatment. Now, Sir, I am writing this in hopes that the attention of some of the societies will take up this matter and insist that <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/mothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mothers</span></a> with children receive the same attention and consideration as is given to flappers and their escorts.”<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240612.2.99" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19240612.2.99</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Tearooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tearooms</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cafes</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
