 Of Miss Mary Howe, the soprano who appears in concert next Monday evening, the Northampton Herald says: The sing ing of Mary Howe, is law unto itself, 80 uniquely original that it is to be judged by no ordinary standards of criticisms. The vocalism of the sweet Vermont lark is her own, and any attempt at com parative criticism must be unjust. After listening to the matchless ssBird Song" last evening, when the keenest pereeptiyes in the audience could hardly believe, at times, that auditors were listening to 8 human voice, so beautifully true to na- ture's sweetest interpreters were the won derful notes which rippled, trilled, hoated, scared and sparkled in eyer-vary- ing, exquisite beauty which it is impossible to reflect in praiseful terms, be they never so extravagant.
