 Princess. "Idylls of King" and "In
 Memoriam" Her concluding passage | follows:
 When Tennyson died in 1892 the
 world lost poet who did much to bring from the poets own cline, a golden light to illumine the world.

 of time and place,
 The flood may bear me far,
 hope to see my pilot face to face
 When I have crossed the bar" Miss Mahaney's reading was one of the best of the evening. Her empha- sis was expressive and the compost tion was a literary gem.
 The serenade (Franz Drdla) was played by trio, Miss Sweeney at the violin, Miss Fitzmaurice pianist and Miss Mary Garde harpist. The solo part was admirably played by Miss Sweeney while Miss Garde and Miss Fitzmaurice showed much proficiency at their respective instruments. This number received more applause than any preceding number on the pro- gramme.

She has a very wide range and her notes are clear in both high and low passages Her shading is exquisite and she should with more training be brilliant vocalist
 Mozart's "Exultate Deo'' was rend- cred with Miss May Fay, Miss Thomp- son and Miss Larkin as soloists. Miss Thompson and Miss Larkin did we'll while there is no need to comment on the passage rendered by Miss Fay. She is a convent graduate who must certainly make her former teachers feel elated.
