British Housewives Praised.
"Fnendliness and he pfulness is what I have met all along. "Most of all, it is the English housewife whc ■ deserves praise. It is she who has had to battle with the hundred and one restrictions and shortcomings of dnhy life, and after nine years of it she is exceptionahy cheerful about it all. I've been to many hom.es and altho.ugh the hostess has always apo'.ogised, snd sometim.es complained of the shortages, 1 ve seen her cope with them in s n\ost efftcien. manner. Her meals have been frugal but dain.ty, and it is to her more than anybody e'se that the credit is due for England remaining the same, though I should say that her ch^erf^ness ■ does npt allow a visitor to see that England, has chapged." — The Begum Ikram-Ullah giving BBC [overseas listeners her impressions of London.
