cert week acceptable and said: No. One
concert week would not be remunerativc.
Charles Wolf. Josef IIofmann's manager, ex-
pressed his belief that if Josef was now ill or
nervous, his condition was due to the excite
mcnt caused by the change in his surroundings,
the frequent examinations by medical men, ana
the extent TO which he had been interviewed,
and not to his having played too much in public.

office Mr.. Wolf declared that it had been more
Injurious to Josef than the giving of twenty
concerts.
