IS good fault, and she shows sound sense In read

a story than TO vocal popguns and pinwhees And
Mss Baker reads a story like this 20 get out
about all that there is in IT, She also read Harriet

the Orchard" and closed with Clyde Fitch's imag-
mary letter from a young woman ut Bayreuth'
Miss Baker was assisted by Forrest ID. Carr who
sang an air from Bemberg's Elaine. IF All the
