the point in the accompaniment at
which he was to execute several arpeg-
gios. They are beautiful and quite an
essential part of the composition. l
wondered whether he would disgrace
our orchestra by missing them.
Il watched him like a hawk and my
concentration must have influenced
him. For he played the runs we'll and
the orchestra was saved.
Meantime the cat disappeared.
Norelli finished singing. we played the
closing bars and the intermission be-
gan. Anxious to know what was the
matter with my oboe player I walked
over to him. He was sitting Imply in
his chair. His hands waggled feebly
at me as I begged him to explain. Was
he Ill? Did he think he could go on
that evening? What in heavens name
was the matter?"
I'm superstitious about CATS he
gasped. I'll be all right now that she's

nature herself uses in transforming
inorganic elementary matter into or
