praise In having secured, through its efforts, to
the citizens OF Washington two such en- joyable

adds an artist OF q most promising future Miss
A0ells voice In the Last Chord" is decidedly
phenomenal. The evidence of excellent vOca
training, her perfect phraslng and true aD-
probation of high art displayed In every clas
Welcome With every discrminatins audience Hence
The violincello solo, by Prof. Green, Is entitled
to favorable mention, and Miss Hunt acqutttei
