Introduced by Olive Shapley
'Good Cooking from Paris,' by Genevieve Manceron
Madame Manceron leads a varied and busy life, for she is a professional journalist, yet, as a Frenchwoman, nothing is of more interest to her than the preparation of meals - a subject on which her country-women are recognised authorities. Her English listeners will profit from this interest when they hear her describing the French ways of preparing vegetables and salads.
'Meals I Remember,' by Jennifer Ellis

Serial: 'Wives and Daughters' by Mrs. Gaskell. Abridged by Evelyn Howland. Read by Ysanne Churchman
