Janet Chance introduces Mrs. Rattigan
From behind the counter of her little shop Mrs. Rattigan-or Ma ' Rattigan as her intimates know her-has been watching the world go by for many years, and has grown rich in opinion and homely sagacity. She is a talkative soul, as you will find out through these broadcasts of Janet Chance's. They will come monthly, and each time you will hear an account of Janet Chance's latest discussion about this and that with a very wise old woman.
