At that time Heifetz was a strip
ling-a gangling, awkward boy
with a shock of dark hair. But
how he could play! He electrified
the audience Of Philadelphians with
his unusual technique and his
tonal qualities.

whose sartorial appearance is in
perfect accord with his poise.

narily clear and pelIucid. His tech

employs trickery in getting across
his melodic message.
His execution of Beethoven "Kreut-
ger Sonata" evoked the deserved an.
plause Of the large audience. His
pure tone and Interpretation in the
Saint-Saens "Havanaise" was oosi-
lively uncanny. This young man,
with the face Of g. dreamer, trans.

heavily-perfumed breezes blow lam

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The
hitherto mysterious NAH jong
malady manifest in local social
circles recently is no longer a
mystery.
Nor is credence given the
theory that those itching palms
have any psychological aspect
such as the desire to win.
The phenomena is due to
poison ivy, and is not caused
by the tiles, but the lacquer
on the cases!
Skin specialists and medical
journals agree that the Orien-

are coated contains the juice
of poison ivy and that the ir-
ritating propensities may lie
latent for so much as 400 or
500 wears,
