What Else Was 1t Possible for Him to Say of the Soloist's
 Vocal Efforts?

The Soloist was an egotist and the rest of the choir hated him cordially. And when it gave a recent concert they were provoked when he got the very best parts. But still the mem bers felt that they had one way left to get even with him. One of their members did the publicity work for them and they knew that he too dis liked the baritone, and hoped that he would give him no publicity--a thing he craved more than all else.
 But to their dismay the next morn ing's paper read, "Mr. Blanks rendi- ton of his solos was very satisfying" They took the writer to task. And he retorted. II had to mention them. didn't I?
