BRITISH LADY IS
 ACTIVE
Wife of Chief of Staff Is as War Busy as Her
 Husband
By JACK CULVER

LONDON, Dec. 27. Working almost as hard as any British mil itary leader to help win the war is Lady Mariot Ysobel Ironside, middle-aged, gray-haired wife of Big Bill' General Sir Edmund Ironside, 59-year- chief of Brit aims Imperial General Staff.
 Since Ironside was called back to Britain last July from the com parative retirement of Gibraltar, where he was Governor of that small but important British col ony, Lady Ironside has seen her husband only five times.
 He literally lives at the War Off, flee" she said recently. General Ironside swapped jobs with Tiger Gort, the 5riyear-old Viscount who is commanding the British Expeditionary Force in France. Ironside relinquished his post as Director General of the overseas forcs to succeed Gort as Chief Of Staff.
 As professional head of the Brit ish Army, Ironside is responsible for the training and shipment of troops to the front.
 In tiny village in the Wilds of Norfolk, on Britain's East Coast, Lady Ironside virtually is com mander- in- chief of the local home front.
 Seven miles from the nearest railroad station, with no shops and no movies, the village has only a twice daily bus service to Nor wich, the nearest town.
 Lady Ironside, local billeting of ficer, is responsible for the wei fare of the 80 mothers and chil- dren evacuated from big cities.
 Many of the self-imposed war time tasks of this gray-eyed wo- man is keeping the evacuees happy. And it's no mean job to make en- tertainment in an isolated village for women and children born and bred to the settlements and amuse- ments of town life.
 In addition to serving on every village committee, Lady Ironside has turned her cottage into a Red Cross first aid poSt and has organ ized an anti-gas training course for the village She also is learn ing to drive an ambulance.
 Lady Ironside tries to visit Lon don once week to attend meet ings of various civic bodies.
 There is always a chance shall be able to see my husband, she said. But I have to spend lot of time at the cottage; you se' 1t must be always ready in cas-
