I am credibly informed that a feature of this year's London. Season is to be "surprise" parties.

I go "just as I am," I shall cer- tainly be ordered off the premises, notwithstanding that my appear. ance would be so lavishly adding to the "surprise" element of the gathering.

He was warmly congratulated on his first attempt at drumming but what I want to know is, supposing he had wanted, to have a go at the trombone, would the trombonist have yielded up his instrument? Now a drum is not hard to play" at first sight, and since it only makes a noise like a hump nobody cares
