As ' ilion?some contributors are born punctuators,

commas are changed to hyphens, your exclamation points to intcr

colon through, blame no one but the printer. Old Ted Robinson
explained that once: "The linotypcr," he said, "knowing that a colon
is twice as long a pause as a semicolon, is obsessed with the idea
that he can make a semicolon in half the time he Beads to make a
colon."

ciety, a new organisation of piano,
wind and string instruments, founded
by Carolyn Hebe and Gustavo Pan?

port would not be misplaced.

zart's Quintet in F. flat major for
piano, oboe, clarine*, horn and ba
soon; the Brahms Quintet in B minor,
for clarinet, two violins, viola and
violoncello, and the Wo.f Ferrari Kam?
mersymphonie. The artists taking
part last night were Carolyn Beebe,
piano; Hnnarios (inn-son, first violin;
Herbert Corduen, second violin; Sam
uel Llfaehey, viols; Jacjues Renard,

William Kincaid, flu'e; G |
