Watts two of the most talented young
musicians in Topeka, VIII give a voice
and violin recital at the First Baptist
z
fsonaI benefit for Miss Esther Watts,
who expects to leave this summer for
Europe to continue her violin studies
with foreign masters. The popularity
of the young artists and their decided
ability ought to insure a large audi
ence, and the fact that this is the
first public appearance in Topeka in
a number OF years of Miss Nina Waits
and perhaps her last, adds to the in
terest of the occasion. Miss Watts,
who has ben studying in Chicago for
three or four seasons. will sacrifice
what all her teachers and many other
/ competent judges have predict as a
brilliant artistic career on the altar
of the little blind god, for although she
had been preparing herself for the
concert stage with the most favorable
/ of prospects her enga gemen recently
announced to Mr.. Carl Nyquist. of Chi
/ cago, will change all that. The we'd

Nyquist is the chief clerk in the office
