Old Faithful
Nothing very new has come along in this holiday season, and
can find time for once to praise an old, faithful programme, Woman't, Hour. It is not in the nature of things that my sex should cells'', to the full a few minutes on "Weights and Measures in the Kitchen," however animated ; but it's open to anyone to admire the variety and general aim of accomplishment of this programme, most agree- ably presided over by Miss Barbara McFadyean as it was by Miss Joan Griffiths. Anyone can admire a programme well conceived and intelligently carried out. It is admirable about children, especially in the new series of talks by Professor Schonell. It is now mellifluously reading Mrs. Gaskell's Wives and Daughters— which faintly suggests that one day it will graduate to Miss Compton- Burnett. All in all, Woman's Hour is probably the best of [ho B.B.C.'s workaday jobs. Now Mrs. Dale's Diary. . . . But enough.
