Women's World
[|_COKING back over the past week or so I have been impressed by the quality and variety of the Morning Talks from 2YA. On Monday mornings we have been hearing a very good series of Letters from Britain, by Joan Airey, who has fortified her talent for observation by frequent visits to the British Museum. Her letters have a strong infusion of literary and historical material, but balancé is preserved, and they remain sprightly and conversational. Tuesday is devoted to Mrs. Amabel Williams-Ellis, whose talks, What It Means to be a Woman, are as delightful and as unusual as her name. She has employed the device of occasional dialogue, and the interpolation of a deep masculine voice saying "I like my women fluffy" effectively secures the listener’s attention in time for her to hear the resultant refutation of the heresy, On Wednesday the A.C.E., always responsive to seasonal demands, cooks game, on Thursdays, Mrs. Freed, whose talks on Women in Politics I listened to with pleasure, speaks on Superstitions. On Fridays the A.C.E. is breaking new ground with a series of talks on Infant Welfare, and though the talk on Baby’s Layette is likely to cause as many letters to The Listener as a previous one on Minimum Requirements for the Bride-to-Be, few will disagree . with the sound fundamentalism of Diet for the Mother-To-Be or Baby’s First Weeks.
