CAMILLA URSO,
THE VIOLIN vIRTUoso, WHO is To BE IN THE
COLLEGE oRAToRY ON THE 2lsT IN
sTANT-A SHORT SKETCH OF
HER LIFE

The early childhood of Camilla Urso
was passed in the old town of Nantes, on
the Loire, France. This place. with its
tall stone houses and ancient churches,
made fit home for the beginning of such
life. The child's father was A finite
player in the theatre and organist at the
Church of the Holy Cross. Her mother
was singer of some note and it was TINS
she idherited in some degree a love of
music. Her days were spent in an at
mosphere of music. By the time she
was four years of age she went regularly
every night with her father to the thea
tire in the Place Graslin. There she sat
by his side in the orchestra in the very
midst of the music. Her father was n
remarkable artist on his instrument and
the child had always the open music
book and the stage in full view before
her. When the girl was about five wears
of age there was on some feast dav a
grand mass performed in the Church of
the Holy Cross. There was a large choir
and orchestra and much pomp and cere-
money, but the one thing that claimed
the child's attention, was solo on the
violin. For days she brooded on that
solo. Why could she not have a violin ?
Why could she not play like that? After
some hesitation she asked her father to
give her violin. Her request was treat,
ed with a smile. A girl have violin ?
No. 1t could not be considered for n

The Land of the Afternoon.

An old man sits in his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky,
What sees he in the blue depth there,
Where only the Isles of Memory lie?
There are princely towers and castles
high,
There are gardens fairer than human
ken,
There are happy children thronging by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs of the Land of the After
noon.
The old man watches form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are,
And he sees homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beckons him afar.
o, cheek of roses and hair of gold
o, eyes of Heavens divinest blue
Long have We lain in the graveyard
mold
But love is infinite, love is true;
He will find her-yes-it must be soon;
They will meet in the Land of the
Afternoon.
The sky has changed, and a wreck of
cloud
Is driving athwart its troubled face,
The golden mist is trailing shroud
1t is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled
brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Der every wasted feature now;
One sigh exhales like breath in June
He has found the Land of the After

been writing. 1t was letter to a
dear old friend of mine, and l had
for little while forgotten my sur
roundings, when Mrs. Colquhoun's
wearisome voice forced itself on my
attention.
She had exhausted her newspaper
and Mrs. Verinder having just come
in, she had thrilling piece of gos-
sip to unfold to her.
"Quite shocking, Mrs. Verinder !
l was so frightened I could not
sleep again. Mr.. Grost, you know
he came down the corridor last
night perfectly drunk, stumbling
over everything. He tried to burst
into my room, but fortunately l al
ways keep the door locked ; and he
felt about his room and talked to
himself half the night. Quite
shocking, is it not? The profession
al sort,of people are always unsteady
and being blind seems to make it so
much worse. Really, Mrs. Veringer
don't you think we ladies ought to
take some steps to show what we
think OF such conduct ?"
Mrs. Verinder made some feeble
sound of horror. l was too petrifed
to say anything.
Ifthis was a story, it was rather
worse one than usual if it was
true
But what was this indignant
young figure that started up from
my side?
at is not true, mother-I am
sure it is not true. Oh, it is a
shame to tell such stories of any
one Mr.. Grost is a gentleman
ne would scorn to do such things.
Oh, it is cruel People ought to
spare him at least"
The child looked transformed,
Ter cheeks blazing, her brown eyes
sparkling.
"Alice, Alice |" said her mother.

Mrs. Colquhoun was straighten-

make of this, and, though 1 could
