cost much and IL wasn't a very good one.
After a while she received a s12 nlther and
was permitted to take lessons. Then her
pride was overwhelming. She has a $500

Her fame as either player spread very
rapidly. There are lots OF people In Fort
Wayne, no doubt who are willing to take
their solemn oath that she Is the best
either player that ever lived. Before she
was sixteen. she was playing for church
socials, benefits and concerts. She was
singing too, for she has very pure and
rich alto voice.
When Cora was sixteen Mrs. Rapp mar
ried again and went to live In Cincinnati.
Cora Joined her there and took her moth

the young either player was invited to
play In the music room OF the Exposition.
She did SO and people had no end OF pleas
