    • 1948, The American Magazine, volume 145, page 122:
      I am sure the hostess will leave off her list men and women who usually drink too much, the woman who gets mushy and tries to steal all the handsomest husbands, the man who offensively would take this opportunity to try to build up sales contacts, and the man who is known to one and all (women tell one another, and the wives tell the husbands) as a pawer of women. The predatory woman and the pawing man are dynamite.
