MET Mrs. James Carstairs in tht
| street recently wearing a very smart
dark blue tailored suit. Her hat was
close. fitting black straw. one whlcn
was extremely becoming. l met Mary
Norris later that same day. She mas
bobbed her hair this year, you Know
She came out last year. you remember
and had such wonderfully pretty. frocks.
Well. she was wearing a stunning dol'
man of henna colored duvetyne maue
with a wide collar which fitted up close
around the neck and her hat was a
small black turban. Lisa Norris,
Mary's cousin, has a good looking tor
coat of black fur trimmed with .Agnelle
and a small black hat. Her bright RED
handbag gives q brilliant bit of color
to an otherwise dark costume.
r STOPPED at the Orpheus rooms OF
l Thursday night to hear the Savo!
c.. rehearsing for "Pinafore," and
give you my word it's marvellous to &C
to one Of these early rehearsals before
they are whipped into. shape. :,
Take that chorus, "His eyes shoulc
fash and his lip should curl the
words are crazy enough, anyhow, be-
cause there's one line where 1t say;
'his brow should furl." Did you evei
see a brow furl? 1t must be some
sight, I'll say.
We'll, any way, you ought to heai
that chorus which in two months vii
be giving it quite perfectly singini
that and getting mixed. l heart
teeth should twirl" in one corner ant
mouth shall prance" back among TN
teuors. while one bass declared "hi'
nose should stamp and his hair should
furl," and an alto insisted that nj
feet should pant and his throat shouic
curl"
II was absolutely marvellous, and
was afraid I'd break up the meeting
by laughing too immoderately. Aren,
Gilbert and Sullivan delicious? N
wonder their works will never die
There is really good music, and tn
words are as witty as can be. But oh
you ought to hear that chorus ge
mixed. It's simply beyond words
Ne, I'm going to another rehearsal.
DoBBIE is studying literature thes
- days, and sometimes it's prett
hard for fellow, especially when tn
teacher says Compare Shakespeare
works with the writings Of King Solo
non." No wonder he was worrie
about II and sought expert advice be
fore writing on the matter, for Bobbi
Is between twelve and thirteen, and hi
thinking apparatus cannot be said I
have worked overtime as yet in his ga
life.
And so that evening when father can
in he was greeted in the hall by Bobbi,
who inquired: "Say, Dad. which d
you think was the best EnglishmaI
Shakespeare or King Sullivan?"
