ADMIRERS of A. J. Alan 's in. imitable style (it has been so often called ' inimitable ' that the word appears to be in danger oi becoming a label like Mr. Chesterton's ' paradoxical' and Sir James Barrie 's ' whimsical,' but it is equally impossible to avoid using it) have hailed the story that he will tell tonight as one of the most characteristic of all. They should take warning, however, that it is not advisable to attempt to follow tonight's telling of it in ' Good Evening, Everyone ' (in which it appears), as it may prove to happen rather differently this time.
