THIRD CONCERT

Women Artists At British Music Society’s Evening

A very large audience was present at the British Music Society’s third concert of the season last night. Lovely bowls of fitrme-coloured iceland poppies, russet and yellow chrysanthemums and autumn leaves decorated James Smith’s tearoom.
