SWEDISH NieuriNoALEs. The Swcd.
ish Ladies' Concert Company, which
charmed all who were fortunate enough
to hear them at their concert some two
weeks since at the Peoples church, has
returned TO St Paul, and will give con-
cert tonight at the Newmarket theatre.
Il Is pleasure 10 praise these ladies, so
eharmingly do they sing. In their nation.
al songs there Is the suggestion OF the
ford, the glacier. the mighty mountains
and the quiet,gicen valleys OF their native
land. As they sing, ono may catch Ia the
refrain the expression OF that never. dyiug
love to their beautiful country, which
every Swede bears with him 10 his death.
The effect Is enhanced by the National
costumes worn hy the singers. The
voices are clear, pure, aud without muAl-
cal concelts OF any Kind. They arc cult
waited as well, and sing not only the sweet
old national ballads, but difficult passages
from grand operas. wherever the com.
pany has appeared, Il has left hundreds OF
friends and admirers.-St Paul Daily
