Zephyrs may be vague term IN TINS instance
and mean many kinds OF vehicles ID Whlcn

beholding her.
There are few music lovers in Richmond

the world MARBLE as no other ever mas OF ever
will She Is now switching her sklrts anu
tossing her head-that wonderful mead so
completely turned in color as Wen as no

House in New York. But who cares how up
Djsb or vain frivolous or tickle she be. so long
as she but part her magic hps ana breathe q
spell Of enchanting. rapturOus melody upon

She sines and when she stops are like a mob
wild with excitement and YocherouS. out

unwinds its familiar old strains Ike q

so tightly around each heart that tears are IN
every eve Then she smiles sauclly a. ,'bc
havoc she has made, and with lerSy' suhsy
little bow gets her gone. She is greeted as
usual with many bushels Of flowers, which
she accepts with charmingly teiSned surprise
and delight. Tho critics ayow That she Is
singing with all the old perfection OF

some of tho highest notes OF the
score the tone is not so utterly bell-llke
