MRS. sEIGFEIED's SUCCESS.
Another remarkable woman who has
been pioneer in her choice OF profess
sion is Lille Mahon Seigfried, who was
born in Buffalo about thirty-two years
ago, where she was reared Ia luxury.

down from her grandfather. She is
rapidly gaining a well deserved reputn-

ling melodies, for which she has marked
ability.

lions and these are promises OF future
laurels. Some OF the most popular
songs OF the day were composed by
Mrs. Segfried. In talking with Ade-

recently completed and introduced to
the public an operetta which has won
distinction for her.

Scarf" words by Ella Wheeler Wilcox;
