: How we Manage our Affairs—VI, How the Money is Raised and Spent'
MRS. RACKHAM'S series has so far been designed to give us a view of the work and organization of the various councils and committees that, though their work so nearly affects our daily lives, lie so largely outside our general interest. We see the fruits of their labours, but we take astonishingly little interest in the labours themselves. Yet, as intelligent members of society, it is our duty to acquaint ourselves with these potent activities. In this afternoon's talk-the last in her series-Mrs. Rackham will explain to us how tfte money required by these councils and com-' inittees is obtained; how the rates are levied; who pays; how payment is enforced; loans, grants from the central government, and so on.

THE Marie WILSON STRING QUARTET
THE name Malipiero appears a good many times in the history of music, and the present representative of the great Venetian family so distinguished was born there himself. As a youngster, he lived in several different parts of Europe, and had no chance of devoting himself to music until he was almost twenty, when he became a pupil of Bossi, in his native city. He is one of the sternly self-critical people who has ruthlessly destroyed aU his earliest work, allowing nothing to be published or performed which he does not consider worthy of his sincere aims.
The String Quartet Rispetti e Strambotti, which might be translated ' Epigrams and Aphorisms,' won a Coolidge prize in 1920, and has always been regarded as a wonderfully successful translation into music of just such ideas as its name conveys.

: ' 'Coal-Mines: Past, Present and Future-VI, What of the Future ?
HAVING given us a complete survey of the history of the coal-mine, from its very beginnings in Great Britain to the present day,
Sir Richard Redmayne is going to devote his last talk to a tentative discussion of future possibilities-of the necessity for much closer relationship and community of interest between employer and employed, for instance, and of the absolute necessity for peace and personal initiative if the prosperity of the industry is to be assured. Sir Richard will then outline some suggestions towards a better state of affairs, touching upon the questions of amalgamation, nationalisation, co-partnership and the co-operative selling of coal.

Miss Rebecca West's newest novel, "Harriet Hume", seems to have succeeded in mystifying both public and critics. No doubt, they looked for another "The Judge". But Miss West, with her adventurousness, her vitality and her intellectual audacity, is not one to go on repeating herself. She is always abreast of the times; one never quite knows whether she will be found in England or in America; her capacity for 'getting around', in fact, is little short of astonishing. Fantasy being the most expressive medium of the moment, therefore, she cast her new book in that form. It is not surprising, then, that in choosing her contribution to this series of "Miniature Biographies", she should alight on the fantastic subject of a witch - any witch. Miss West can be depended upon to give from her rich fund of humour and common-sense, a memorable sketch.
