THE idea of any sort of holiday for nothing is one which may seem more of a delusion and a snare than an actual possibility. When the holiday is a motoring holiday, the idea of getting it for nothing becomes even more far-fetched; but, as Mr. Cyril Wood will explain in his talk this evening, the real economics of the matter runs something like this : If you have already a wife and a car, it will cost you no more to take the wife away in the car than it would do to stay with the wife and the car at home. This argument sounds to be so much in the right holiday spirit that Mr. Wood is assured of a large audience tonight.

The wilds of Central America conceal the relics of an elaborate civilization now vanished, and the ruins of cities which have been without inhabitants for hundreds of years. Modern exploration holds no more exciting story than that of the attempt to unveil the secrets of these old civilizations. Dr. Thomas Gann has now for many years been on their trail. In this talk, and in another that he will give on Monday next week, he will tell some of the tales of the determined attempt that modern science is making to discover any traces that may remain of the great cities whose doom was sealed when the Spaniards entered the Now World.

LIKE many another composer known only by ono song, Carissimi was a prolific composer and did much for the improvement both of oratorio and cantata in their early days. Ho was besides a teacher of many pupils, who became more famous than himself, among them Bononcini and Allessandro Scarlatti.
This one piece of his which is still sung is so finely eloquent an expression of triumph that listeners must often wonder why it alone of all his music ever appears on programmes.
