_The Evening Post_, 9 October 1924:
              WOMEN IN PRINT.…
  Miss Jean #Begg, who has been making investigations recently into the lives and amusements of those who reach places of detention for delinquency, spoke in Christchurch very plainly about some of the cheap #dances where “baskets” are taken to provide the refreshments, and everything is on a small scale. There are no older people present at these entertainments, and the young and unwise have it all their own way, quite unchecked. The rooms were badly lit, and the cloakrooms not what they should be. She found that the dances were run by quite young people who looked after the financial side of the affairs. Miss Begg said that she was of opinion that the girls were not bad, but “soul-sick,” and more protective measures were needed by women police specially. She urged further supervision of these #dancing halls, furnished houses where girls lived, and picture shows.
