There was a slight GOODNESS for
some time.
A young man around here who
hasn't the mind to grasp how diff

for abandoning our effort to deter

Arch of Triumph" and the expert
ences of our troops in Normandy
have put Calvados on the local mar

approaching Norman at the Duet.
He just looked at us for a long time,
before he explained slowly:
I have been in this work a. long
time. I have made it my business
to learn as much as I possibly could
about wines, liqueurs, brandies and
all other things people drink. 1 even
have done small amount of labora-

OF these things is better than some. "
He paused, then demanded: Whats
CalvadoS?"
Stopping in at Costin's to think
that over for awhile, we were con-
fronted with another problem that
has been causing us some trouble OF
late-that business about the cello
and the human voice. We listened
to Eli Emmanuel, cellist with
Johnny Shaw's trio, playing "Sep-
tember Song" and we were won
over. The human voice is the most
nearly perfect musical instrument
because its tone most closely ap-
proxlmates that of the cello.
That seemed to end that. so we
went home, unprepared for the
shock awaiting. Picking up one OF
those weekly magazines that dem
fists and wives have scattered about.
we came upon story about a girl
who heard mans voice and it
sounded like cello. It kept sound
ing like cello to her and the Sec
ond time she heard it he took her
OF to his apartment and began
plying her with Calvados. 1t was
right there in print. And we don't
want to hear any more about Gel
los or Calvados for some time.
