...There, the shopper can relax in an armchair, sip a free drink and make his selections from items that are displayed for him. Unless he has a specific gift in mind, a husband is apt to buy his wife a slinky black negligee, which she almost invariably exchanges for bath towels or sensible underwear.

Back in Washington again, her husband works hard to avert war, and when it comes he orders his wife to stay in the U.S. with their daughter. She gravely refuses, and the rest of the picture describes what life was like in wartime Japan for a sweet young thing from...
