The Transfer List On paper the news that Janus, rising
like a jet-assisted Phoenix from his ashes, is henceforth to contribute a weekly causerie to Time and Tide would appear to put me in something of a quandary. I know how staunch and well-deserved is the devotion he inspired in habitual readers of this Notebook, and for obvious reasons every motive of self-interest impels me to suppress the news of this transaction. But, sheltered though the lives of some of Janus"s admirers may be, my own churlish silence in a matter which cannot but interest them all would not for long prevent the fact that he now rides in Lady Rhondda's colours from becoming known in even the most slumbrous vicarage, on even the remotest stoep. I can accord- ingly do, with much pleasure, what seems the natural thing : which is to wish him all the luck in the world. His weekly article is to be called " A Tide-Watcher's Log," and you can buy Time and Tide for ninepence.
