And then she astonished the oratorical world, the piano - playing world, the M sewing world and the pastry-cook­ ing world by turning out to be a “phenom” at all of them. H er athletic feat at Stamford Bridge, where she established the new record fo r lady jumpers, turned the limelight on her other accomplishments. I t developed that three years ago she had won the first prize offered by the Mitcham Conservation Association for the best original speech showing why England did need conservation and did not need socialism. Sho also holds two certificates of ex­ cellence as a pianist, having dem­ onstrated that she has as much velocity and technical finish on the ivory keyboard as she has in jumping hurdles or haranguing an election audience. And that wasn't all. Muriel came thrwogh with the evidence that she has the knacks and the virtues that make a girl pre-eminent in the home as well as outside of IL She is capable of making all her own clothes, whether she does it not, and she can bake pies even su-, perior to the mythical kind that mother used to make.
