UNDERWOOD SPRING.

The question has frequently been asked
whether Miss Bertha Webb, Of this city,
is playing with the Fadsttes this sum
mer. She still belongs to the Fadettss,
but she is taking a rest this summer.
She will rejoin the orchestra in the fall
and play solos with them through the
winter. With one exception the Fadettes
got their musical education in Boston,
being pupils for the most part of we'll
known members of the Boston Sympho-
ny orchestra. Thus it will be seen that
the ladies have had the very best instrue-
ion and 1t is not a matter of surprise
that they play so we'll. Their concerts
are enjoyed by large number of people
in the course OF every day. The ride in
these warm evenings is entirely the best
way to get out of the heat of the city.
