Miss CampbelPs Rare Gifts.
Then there is Miss Helen Mari Camp
ball. poet and musician, a number OF
whose composition have been thought 70
be Of such merit as 10 be played by the
Marine Band in public concerts, and by
other organizations Of the front rank.
Miss Campbell is herself so intensely in
terested IN music that she never misses
a concert in Washington. and nearly
always, on such occasions, is surrounded
by little group of her sightless friends
So invarlable is this custom, indeed, that
bandmasters and conductors have come
70 look for her and would be disap-
pointed if she failed 20 appear, and more
than disappointed if the blind faces Of
herself and her friends failed to light
up with the glow Of appreciation.
Miss Campbelrs literary work has
been as extensive as her musical pro-
auctions. Contributions Of every char
acter TO newspapers and magazines
have occupied a large part Of her time,
and many poems iof sentiment and hu
NOR have come from her pen. She is
constant worker for the Improvement Of
TIN condition Of her sightless friends,
and IL was largely due 90 her influence

Now we talk of loves achieving,

In those happy autumn hours,
