Press Photo Mrs. Mopp Goes Gay: Capers at the Charladies Ball.

Mrs. Mopp Goes Gay: Capers at the Charladies Ball. Was your office desk just a wee bit dusty one day last week? Or was there a tiny bit of ash left on the carpet? If so, don't bleme the char. She probably was a bit pre occupied that night... ... for those worthiest of the worthy - to give them a well - earned title - those women who get up before dawn cracks the sky and make their way in small groups to 'do' the rooms and corridors of those tens of thousands of offices in the 'big city' were celebrating ... in spite of their oft' considerable age, and the never doubted hardness of their toil and the smallness of their rewards, these "Mrs. Mopps" - as they have been known since wartime Tommy Handley so christened them - are the cheering and best hearted of the world's workers. So, once a year, the charladies of London get together and have their own ball. A cabaret, shosen from their own talent, a skiffle group and other attractions, all help to make the chars night off and out tremendous success.... Light on the Feet. One of the Mrs. Mopps enjoys swinging around on the floor encouraged and no doubt lightened by the general atmosphere of the Charladies Ball...
