Miss Florence White ('Mary Evelyn'): 'Flummery'
'Flummery: a name given to various sweet dishes made with milk, flour, eggs, etc.,' is what you will find in modern dictionaries.
This is not, however, the original meaning of the word. In Johnson's Dictionary (1755) it is defined as 'a kind of food made, by coagulation of wheatflour or oatmeal.' It was called 'wash-brew' in the West of England. Flummery allowed to turn sour is the same as the Scotch dish of 'sowans.' Miss White will give recipes for this, the original kind of flummery, and also for solid syllabub. Both are delicious sweets. The use of the word flummery in the eighteenth century to mean flattery or humbug, and in our grandfathers' mouths for any kind of 'silly nonsense,' no doubt dates from the time when any kind of sweet was a frivolous interruption of beef and beer and port and pipes. But flummery is a thoroughly English dish, and Miss White will give recipes for preparing it in the original way.

Light Songs mONIGHT'S newcomer,
ESTELLE BRODY, is ono of the most prominent of our younger film-stars. She was born in Montreal of French-Canadian parentage in 1905. Before she took to the films, she was a dancer and singer. In 'silent' days she starred successfully in Mademoiselle from Armentières, Hindle Wakes , The Glad Eye, The Flight Commander, The Plaything, Kitty, etc. After an interval of stage and cabaret work, Miss Brody is now recruited to the ' talkies -a medium in which her charming singing voice should be a tremendous asset. HARRY TATE demands no introduction. For many years he has delighted vaudeville audiences with his unsteady moustache, in such famous burlesques as Fishing, Motoring, Billiards, In the Office, Selling a Car, and Flying. The richness of his humour and his characteristic voice have made him as successful on the microphone. Since his radio debut, some months ago, Harry Tate has given us Selling a Car, In the Office, and Fishing. WILLIAM STEPHENS , one of C. B. Cochran 's constellation of revue stars, has appeared in several radio revues. He was most recently heard in Archie de Ber's Crikey ! JOAN STONEHEWER , recently referred to by ' The Broadcasters ' as a ' virtuoso of the tool-box,' is a member of that rare band of artists who can make satisfactory music with a saw.

Mr. Harold Nicolson, in his second talk on Modern Literature, is going to discourse on the advantages of the reading habit as compared with other hobbies. Too few people realize that reading, like other hobbies, demands a considerable amount of effort, if one is to get the best out of it. One may waste a great deal of time reading the wrong books, or reading good books in the wrong way. Mr. Nicolson will outline a few general principles or rules for reading; by following these, such errors may he avoided. The aim of this course is to help listeners to get full intellectual value from modern books, and some sort of 'technique' of reading is the first step towards this.
