perfectly does this wonderful organ pro-
duce its fascinating strains. The aud
naturally wonders from whence the sill
ent power of propulsion comes and how
the slight and lissom girl expresses the
charms and volume of tone for which
her lower and middle registers are fine
examples of perfect voice placing.
