Chelsea pensioners .
NEW BOY OF THE PENSIONERS
The Royal Hospital Chelsea, founded by King Charles II in 1862 “as a retreat for veterans of the regular army who had become unfit for duty, either after 20 years’ service or as a result of wounds”. Although there are no barracks, a certain amount of kindly discipline is maintained – a fact which these old soldiers actually appreciate. At present there are 367 Chelsea Pensioners, presided over by General Sir Cameron Nicholson, and new recruits give up their outside pension on entering the Hospital. In return he is provided with his board and accommodation, clothing, a pint of beer daily or tobacco in lieu. They purchase the summer red uniform for £15 and are expected to perform a few light duties, but the majority of the time is their own. The Hospital has much to offer with companionship high on the list. For the remainder of their days the old soldier has a place of comfort and friends with whom he can swap stories of campaigns. What more could a veteran ask for?
PICTURE SHOWS:- A section of the kitchens at the hospital. They cater for 368 pensioners and staff .

There are still plenty of guesses flying around about how Marlene Dietrich's age . But one thing is certain - that she is always willing to put her fame and her talent to generous free use for a worthy charity - and especially for children charities . Just now she is appearing in cabaret in London at the Cafe de Paris . But recently she was the star turn in a huge midnight charity matinee organised by Noel Coward in aid of the Actor's Orphanage , of which he is President . This show raised over £10,000 for the Orphanage . Soon afterwards , President Noel took Marlene - the biggest money - spinner on his bill - down to see the children of the Orphanage in their fine building in Chertsey in Surrey . The sun for once was shone , the 32 boys and girls were scrupulously washed and tidied up m and at 5 o'clock up drove a gleaming Rolls Royce and out stepped Coward and Dietrich .
PICTURE SHOWS:- Time for business . Having eaten a hearty tea , Marlene doggedly signs fifty publicity photos for the children and members of the staff .

JUST HOW DO THEY WORK? CHILDREN AT A LONDON DAY NURSERY PARTY FIND OUT ABOUT CRACKERS
When a Christmas party was held at Coral Street, Day Nursery - a flourishing resort for children which was opened up on a bombed site in the Waterloo Road, London - it was sadly apparent that most of the little guests had never set eyes on a cracker before. It didn't take them long however, to find out just what crackers are for.
Photo Shows: Joe Campanini thinks that he had better look into this thing called a "cracker". Little Mary Allen, on the other hand investigates hers very delicately - there might be a bomb in it, but Mary Tyrrell shakes hers vigorously - it makes an exciting noise. Alice from America, the handsome doll sitting in Mary Tyrrell's lap, is more of a hostess than a guest at Coral Street, Day Nursery in Waterloo Road, London: she came from America three years ago and has attended very function in the Day Nursery evr since.

LONDONERS LUNCH WITH THE GODS: MUSEUM MEALS AT POPULAR PRICES
British Restaurants, opened by the Londoners' Meals Service to provide good food at minimum prices, have appeared almost everywhere in London, from Park Lane to Putney, during the war. The strangest is at the Bethnal Green Museum, in the East End, where 1000 hot lunches can be served every day. Customers pay ten pence or a shilling in the hall, at a booth beside a bust of Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, and get their meal at a service counter, carrying it past a bust of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the commonwealth, to the central hall, where Venus, Goddess of Love, and Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, look down on the communal scene of Londoners lunching in classic surroundings.
