i In moment MISS Abbott was singing
!. one of her beautiful ballads full of sweet
ness and patnos. AS her voice touched
i those high, clear notes, which many Of
us have heard since in DR.. Chaplin
church, Miss Kellcgg's mother sat in mute
!. wonder.
| Louise! Lopisel" she finally broke
outy"d you hear that voice-how clear
there's no break there. That is the
voice for me-"
/ 81 That, very night Miss kellogg kindly
gave Miss Abbott letter to fErnina, a
teacher insthis city, under whose instrue-
tons she has been for swo years. She
. also gave her money to come to New
York. where she took quiet room at, DR..
Elders end commenced a severe course
of study with Erniua. After studying
a spell, she secured through friends an
engagement to sing ia DR.. Chapin's
church, at 81 300 per annum. Here the
wonderful sweetness of her voice becamf
the talk OF the city and the especial won
der OF the good members of the BIZ
brown stone church of the Divine Pater,
nifty, on Fifth avenue. Here she has
sung for year or more, always remem
boring her poor mother and always true
TO her kind beneactor, Miss Kellogg ?
Among DR.. Chspin's audience was a
warm hearted gentleman, living up tow n,
who took especial delight IN Miss Alb
bott. One day this gentleman sat down
in the Office and wrote her a note. He
was business man, and it was q cold bu-
siness note; but it meant something, and
filled tue young lady's heart with food
OF JOY and gladutss. He told her be
admired her talent, respected her pluck,
and that if she wishedt TO 90 to Milan to
study, he would furnish her the money.
That man was John T. Daily. Miss All
| bott was dellg hted. with tears in her
eyes she thanked her benefactor, and it
was determined that she should sail this
spring. 5"
By and by the idea occurred to her
that she would prefer to have more than
one person interested in her return. off,
she sug gested, ga nuuber will take an
sinterest in me. there will certainly be
more to welcome me back from Italy
when return prima donna and make
my debut in the metropolis" SThis wah
thought a,,wise idea, and Mr.. DAILY imme
diately put his name down for $500
Mrs. George Hoffman followed with
$500, and then John Q Hoyt with $500,
Mrs. George Lake with 81 900, and Frank
Carpenter, the artist, with a heart ten
times as. big as his pocket book, gave his
splendid mite.
