' My little boy was most disappointed, when he started school, to know that he would no longer be able to " Listen with Mother." However, he has solved his problem by getting me to listen and tell him the story later in the day.' Many mothers have come up against this problem and have solved it in a similar way, though we have sympathy for the mother who, confronted by her daughter's questions. writes, ' If I don't remember, I'm told I'm getting old-and if I don't listen I have to have a very, very good excuse I

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Mrs. Dale felt very restless after all the fuss and worry of the wedding, so she decided to make some chutney and marmalade. Gwen and David returned from their honeymoon in Paris. Gwen told her mother about another young couple they had met, the Dennisons, and how she and David had tried to give the impression they had been married for a long time, and how it turned out that the Dennisons were themselves newly married.
It was arranged that Mrs. Skeats should help Gwen three mornings a week in the flat. Mrs. Morgan was quite pleased because she decided that while Mrs. Skeats helped Gwen there was no danger of her trying to invade Virginia Lodge. Jenny's first day at the academy was not a success and she told Sally she was going to leave. However, Bob and Sally persuaded her to give it a longer trial

Once again Henry, Lord Darnley, proved himself an unworthy consort for the Queen of Scots. His plots against her, which culminated in his conspicuous absence from the christening of their son and his sudden departure from Stirling, caused Mary to follow hdm to Glasgow where -he nursed him through smallpox. Together they returned to Edinburgh where he elected to stay at Kirk o' Field. On the night of Carnival Sunday. Mary left him to attend a ball at Holyrood Palace. After the dancing ended and the music was stilled, the city of Edinburgh was shaken by a tremendous explosion. The King and his servants had been blown up by gunpowder. When the noise of the explosion died away, another ominous sound was heard; the whispering campaign accusing the Earl of Bothwell of the murder of the King. Bothwell agreed to face his accusers and the date of the trial was named.
