Since Miss Monaghan sang here year
ago, he has gained in breadth Of tone
snd briliisncy. She has youth, talent
beauty and a pleasing personality, and
splendid results may be looked for from
this clever young artistic in the next few
years. Her mum bers were exceiiently
chosen to show the best qualities Of her
fresh voice. Her rendering of Girls Of
seville, by DenZa. won an encore aud
she gave De Koven's "My Home is " here
