exhibition of women·s work has recently been
held at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in J.ondon.

sacks absorbed in the November number of THE
LANDSWOMAN!
Her Mq.jest.y the Queen, who visited the exhibibition on October 30th, is here seen examming the
Land Army Section and talking to our Editor, who
is holding THE LANDSWOMAN in her hand. The
Queen was somewhat startled when the lamb
unexpectedly emitted a iond " baa-a! "
