When Men Are Scarce - John Kirkpatrick - Bog

Three career girls who share an apartment make an agreement that one night a week two must clear out, leaving the third one free to cook dinner for her boyfriend. Maudie doesn't have a boyfriend, but pride prompts her to invent one. She borrows clothes from the male tenant upstairs to provide circumstantial evidence. The evidence proves too circumstantial for comfort, and the arrival of the wife from upstairs precipitates a crisis.
