Well, the problem arises because we Freemasons (not Wee-Free masons, they're quite different) go out to our meetings several times a year, leaving our womenfolk at home. Once a year, to address this serious issue, we encourage them to dress up really nicely and take them out for a really wonderful evening involving fine food, good wine, nice music, constant politeness, ceaseless compliments and all that sort of thing... in the hopeless delusion that it'll mean they'll be okay with us going out with the lads all the time over the preceding/ensuing year. Each lodge hosts a Ladies Festival once a year, where the wife/girlfriend/partner of the Master of the Lodge for the current year is fêted most especially, but all the other ladies are treated very nicely too.
On Saturday I collected
if you get the chance to go to a Masonic Ladies Festival, go for it.
