In our dismal winters the gardens of most of us are drab, barren places, destitute of colour or a single flower, and yet a root of Chinese or yellow jasmine planted at the foot of a trellis and trained over it wilk provide a stream of gold in December, January, or February. It is of flowers that bloom in the open garden in winter that C. H. Middleton is to talk today-not only of Chinese jasmine, but of winter sweet, witch hazel, and other winter flowering plants which few people seem to know.

The Rev. Fr. M. C. D'Arcy , S.J.
When our ' nerves ' are bad, we begin to believe anything ; and at times of crisis men and women begin to see portents, rush to astrologers and magicians. We tend to seek irrational and quack remedies, confuse credulity and creed, and desert a reasonable faith for false prophets, who are trying to show signs and wonders. Irrationalism is everywhere, in politics and philosophies and morals, but it has most influence in religion, where it is most imperative that reason should prevail. The Christian faith is a basilica of reason and love, and we have to be loyal to the Word' of Truth ; for, though heaven and earth pass, that Word will not pass.
This is the gist of Father D'Arcy's four talks, the first of which he is to give today, and the second and third on February 28 and March 7, while his fourth broadcast, on March 14, will be confined to giving answers to listeners' questions. Father D'Arcy is Master of Campion Hall , Oxford, and his previous Sunday talks on the air will be remembered by many.

Yaughan Williams 's Phantasy Quin tet for strings, although commissioned by the late W. W. Cobbett , was not offered for any competition. The idea of reviving the archaic form of Phantasy was Mr. Cobbett's. Vaughan Williams's Phantasy is in one continuous movement which falls into four well-defined sections approximating to the movements of a sonata. The treatment, however, is, as the title suggests, very free and fanciful. Composed in 1910, it shows the composer a master of chamber music writing and his style still deeply influenced by folk song.

Wagner's opera Rienzi, based on Butwer Lytton 's novel, was sketched out in 1838 and received its first performance at Dresden in 1842. The overture is based on several of the chief themes in the opera, such as Rienzi's prayer, which is announced after the short and solemn introduction ; the cry of the Romans for freedom (heard in Act I), which is followed by the theme of the ' Sancto Spirito Cavaliere ' (Act III) on the trombones ; and lastly, the theme of the finale of Act II which is dance-like in character. This material is then developed with considerable vitality and colour.

An appeal on behalf of the INSTITUTE FOR THE SCIENTIFIC
TREATMENT OF DELINQUENCY by ST. JOHN HUTCHINSON, K.C.
The Institute was founded in 1932 for the treatment and prevention of crime by medical, social, and psychological measures ; for research into the causes of crime, and to form an educational centre for those who deal with delinquents. It gives impartial reports on the mental and physical state of offenders, and how this bears on the offence, and how far medical treatment is likely to effect a cure it provides facilities for suitable treatment with due attention to public safety.
The work of the Institute, the only body existing solely for these purposes, has been seriously hampered by inadequate premises. To remedy this, a new Out-Patient Clinic will be opened shortly. This will cost £150 a month to run. A small In-Patient Observation Centre is also needed and cannot yet be started. For this a further E20,000 is urgently needed.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to St. John Hutchinson , Esq.,
K.C., [address removed]
