Mr.. Liddle. however, had brought with

cellent substitute. The lady possesses
a charming voice of a most flexible
character. and her performance
Throughout was delightful. Her first

and although a request was made on
the programme that no audible mani
festations of feeling should be exhibited
so enraptured were those present with
Miss kaiSerS rendering that they
found it impossible to receive it with
that silence of appreciation which is
said to be golden. and Immediately
broke out i'm thunderous applause. and
would not desist until the song was
repeated. Her other song. Forever
with the Lord" (Gounod), was received
with equal appreciation, and necessi-
tated the lady bowing her acknowledge

Mrs. Florence Schilling. the talented
wife of Professor Schillng. of the cath

and appreciative audience in the Hart
ford Saengerbund. Hartford. Conn.
The Hartford Herald writes about the
Scranton lady as follows: Mrs. Flor
ence Schilling. of Scranton. Pa. was
undoubtedly the star of the evening.
She is an artist of the highest order. Her
first number. ''Thema and Nariationen'
by PrOch. showed the singer to her best
advantage and gave full scope to her
magnificent voice. which never loses
its clear metallic tone. This was fol-
lowed by pleasant. simple song. and
by urgent request. by third one. 1t
goes without telling that Mrs. Schil-
ling will long and favorahly be remem-
bered."
