The General Strike, 1926: volunteers

Are we downhearted? The answer is Negative. A page from The Tatler, applauding the magnificent response which all classes of Society made to the Government's call for volunteers in the wake of the General Strike of 1926. Here, Mrs. Orbach drives cars for the Red Cross, Captain Peebles Chaplain is shown hauling coal, and a variety of aristocratic ladies work in canteens in Hyde Park and Scotland Yard for the refreshment of volunteers, special constables and transport workers.

Something new in salad'. Salad making gives full scope to your powers of invention. For almost all vegetables are at home in the salad bowl, and you can try them in almost endless combinations. A crisp salad, as appetising to look at as it is to taste, is a very important item in the day's meals. Raw green vegetables are one of the riches sources of vitamin c. You'll remember that this is the vitamin that helps so much to give clear skin, bright eyes and that feeling of vigour which makes life enjoyable.
