ment given by the Ladies' Schubert Quar-
tette OF Boston. The first number on the

expression, and throughout the evening

Every number on the program received
unstinted appreciation. Toronto Empire.
The Ladies' Schubert Quartette of
Boston gave very attractive program at
the Mozart Musicale lest evening. The
voices are fresh and we'll balanced, blend
nicely, and the quartettes were beauti-
fully rendered. Miss Whitcomb has a
phenomenally deep contralto, which forms

Mill, )" In the same key as that used by q
tenor voice, was the feature of the even
