QUEEN MARY
Queen Mary has not figured much in public life since war began. She is, however, still extremely active in her West Country home. She has turned a large part of her garden into vegetable plots, and invites evacuated children to attend picnics and play games in the other part of the garden. She knows them all by name, and they know her as “the lady who live up the road” or “Mrs Queen.” An excellent cook, Queen Mary distributes recipes o£ economical rationed dishes which were served at Buckingham Palace during the last war. She has studied local jam-making methods and supplied many useful cookery tips. Every Sunday she writes to the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, enclosing sewing instructions and pattern books as a substitute for the weekly lessons she used to superintend personally. In the evenings, Queen Mary knits for the forces. Once a week she goes to London, lunches with the King and Queen, shops, visits a hospital and sometimes goes to a West End cinema.
