Miss FLORENCE WHITE ('Mary Evelyn ')
'Frumenty'
THE tale of how Miss White, deter. mined to find out what frumenty is, followed clue after clue and finally tracked it down, is as exciting as a detective story. It is a very ancient dish, eatenin England in prehistoric times. It was (like Darioles) mentioned in Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur,' as' frumentee noble ' : it appears to have been eaten only with venison in the fifteenth century. It is made of hulled wheat boiled, not with milk, as the large Oxford Dictionary says, but also-and first-with water. It makes an excellent breakfast dish—much better than modern ' cereals '
-and the foundation for a delicious sweet. Miss White will give- recipes that show what a simple and cheap dish it is to prepare. This is the last of her six talks. Next week begins a series of favourite dishes of various nations.

The Hon. HAROLD NICOLSON :
C.M.G.; Changes in the Reading Public'
THIS week Mr. Harold Nieolson will describe the changes that have taken place in the reading public since the patronage system of the eighteenth century. Education, the popular Press, and wireless are developing the reading public more rapidly than ever today. Besides this increase in the size of the reading public, there is a difference in its angle of taste': books which supply information—books on science, biographies-are becoming more and more popular. Mr. Nicolson will discuss these changes in taste moro fully next week, and in the two following talks he will explain the effect of these two factors on modem authors.

" Of how, through Woman-Worship, knaves compound
With honoure; Kings rcck not of their domaine ;
Proud Pontiffs sigh; and War-men world renownd,
Toe win one Woman, all things else disdaine : Since Melicent doth in herselfe coutayne
All this world's riches that may fasre be found.'
