ACTIVE SOCIAL WORKER
PRAISE FOR LATE LADY READING RUGBY, Friday. Marchioness Reading, who died yesterday, had been ill ever since her return from India with her husband, who was Viceroy there. The newspapers speak of her beneficent social work in India. Through her ener getic appeals a sum of £IOO,OOO was raised to endow a hospital at Simla for women and children, and for train-, ing nurses. She founded the Indian National Baby Week, which has been instrumental in reducing enormously the high rate of infantile mortality in that country. When her health broke down she had so won her way to the hearts of the people that px-ayers for her recovery were said in temples, mosques and synagogues throughout India.
