'"The Times" is exciting itself over the surplus women, as revealed by the census - 102 per 1,000, I believe, to be exact! They were quite nice to us in a leading article today, and said that women who had lost their husbands or lovers in the War couldn't be expected on that account to relegate themselves to perpetual widowhood or spinsterhood.'
