EX-CAPTAIN' HELPS WITH HOUSEWORK
Captain R. V. Peel, formar com- mander. of the Queen Mary, who retired after 15 years at sea. is do- ing housework at bis Southampton home.
I like it," he said. "I enjoy pot- tering in the house, provided the
womenfolk leave me alone!"
But Mrs Peel had something to

Miss Robinson does her own washing, cooking and cleaning.
"I also have my own little shrine room," she said, "but the true shrine room is in the complete understanding of one's surround |ings and environment.”
ANSWER TO A "RIDDLE"
She came into contact witly Buddhism some years ago at the London Buddhist Mission.
"Then," she said, "the answer to u pizzling riddle of life which I bad been trying to find out was Bolved."

She declares that she has always had a feeling that, some day, she would come out to the East again. especially as India was land of her birth. To come out to the East to
lead a social life was easy enough. but that, she explained, would not solve the riddle she was pondering over.
