Somewhere along the line she manages to do some radio and television work-often singing her folksongs and accompanying herself on the Trish nro.

It is not very often that Her work schedule will permit her to leave Japan, but when, it does, she thinks Hongkong is just the place visit.

We sat on the terrace at the home of Capt and Mrs. W. K Langhorne and gazed across Deep Water Bay while the music of "Yedo Fantasy" drifted through an open window. Miss Brition, who is always either working or hobbying, remarked quietly. " do wish I'd brought my paints,"
