“Are you in the picture?
You know that to ask your husband (or your father) to leave The Daily Telegraph for you would be to ruin his day almost beyound repair.
‘But The Daily Telegraph is a man’s paper,’ he would cry in an agony of distress.
‘The man’s newspaper that women read,’ you might answer, quoting the advertisements, adding, with a smile, ‘when they get the chance.’
The Daily Telegraph has, of course, the most stimulating and topicall woman’s page, a daily page full of variety and interest for the intelligent woman. Sometimes gay, sometimes serious, the woman’s page provides a happy release, whatever the rest of the news may be.
It is a wise woman indeed, a woman of spirit, who quietly arranges to keep The Daily Telegraph in the house, even if it means ordering an extra copy.”
The time isn’t too far off, the experts say, when you’ll wash your dishes without soap or water - ultrasonic waves will do the job. Your beds will be made at the touch of a button. The kids’ homework will be made interesting when they are able to dial a library book, lecture or a classroom demonstration right into your home - with sound. (Some of this is happening already)
