Mr. M. H. Segaert. who has returned after nine months’ hol'day in Europe. One striking illustration of the change, Mr. Segaert said, was the return from the jazz music of the last few years to the old sane melodies and to better music. It was a sign •' the change that was taking place in the minds of the people.
