Henrietta Beebe was one Of the sopranos
and Arthur Woodruff, Baird and Aiken
and singers of their class made UP the
other parts. It was not a large company
but their voices harmonized perfectly
and their part-singing was very enjoyable.
AS time passed on they were heard of no
more and the Madrigal singers took their
place and for the last three or four years
this new organization has been gaining

wishes to produce, and also how to attain
them and inists upon implicit obedience
to his slightest wish am not at all fond
Of choruses made of solo singers. They
are apt to be too strong individually to
