1t is interesting to know that these
talents were inherited from her mothers

has determined TO put them to some pfac-
teal use is not only praiseworthy, but
wise.
Miss Booker has not spent a very long
time with her teachers, but she has ac-
complished much, and her WORK shows

has Just returned from New York,
where he has been purchasing goods
for the new undertaking. While in New

with Mr.. Andrew Sass, and as a re-
suit, II was determined that, in order
to provide sufficient room In the large
house at Saks's corner for the proper
conduct of first-clasS wholesale
clothiery. 1t was necessary TO abolish
the ladies' department entirely. Both
gentlemen agreed that this was the only
plan whereby sufficient room could be

the reserve stock of mems, boys. and
children's goods now on the third floor.
In accordance Herewith, the firm will

the sweetness and elasticity OF its lyri-
cal quality. Its carrying power is ad-

Miss Booker's ambition lies in the d.

her studies in New York next autumn,
and will sing in one of the churches,

festivals. Eventually, she viii so TO
Leipsic Berlin, or Paris. This last am
bition Miss Booker regards as a castle
in the air, as it depends altogether on
the measure of success she meets with
in this country.
During Miss Bookers stay in New York
she met Auton Seidl at dinner party.
and sang, at ms request, Seidi himself
playing the accompaniment. He spoke
natteringiy of her voice, and urged her
to sing in opera. She also gave recitals
ct the Plaza. under the patronage or Mr..
Charles Havemeyer Scnf. which were
very successful, and attracted much IA
vorable notice from the critics.
Miss Bookers vocal ability has been
recognized since she was very small
child. The idea Of public career was
forced upon her she says, through the
necessity OF doing something" Miss
Ellen Stockdale was her first teacher.
In New York she sat at the feet OF

chosen profession. and very enthusiastic

of terms with her. The accompanying
