Break It Up, Girls
"THE Wednesday Women’s session from '" 2YA continues to provide an example of the solid merits of the planned discussion as opposed to the airy-fairi-ness of sessions of the Brains Trust type, where an off-the-cuff loquacity is pretty well the only quality demanded of a speaker. The ladies do their enter‘taining formally. Each question is assigned to the member of the panel best qualified to deal with it. (Moral questions seem the prerogative of Mrs. Sullivan, health is dealt with by Miss Somers-Cocks, and children-and-the-home topics wing their way to Mrs. Garland.) The first speaker delivers a neat threeto five-minute speech in nicely rounded periods with a lot of thought showing through; then, approached by the Chairman, the other members add their contribution. This thoroughness is of course achieved at the sacrifice of some entertainment value, and there afe times when the listener would welcome the introduction of a few verbal fireworks into the gentle glow of female cerebration. :
