The charming lady and musician, Miss
Edith Robinson, gave one of her piano
entertainments at the opera house yester-

sweet or grand, lofty or tender, as called
for by the great masters, whose creations
she so exquisitely renders. The house
which greeted the finished performance,
though small, was appreciative, and Miss
Robinson can have the satisfaction of
knowing that her music found warm and
delighted welcome in the hearts of those
who listened. We understand that the
lady intends to make Cheyenne her future
home, and THE LEADER hastens to ex-
tend greeting to one so charming and so
accomplished.
