energy that mark the New England

received the poetic strain. Equipped
with these and her natural voice, she

however, has for many days and years,
for the matter of that, meant more
than a quota of five hours hard study
out of the twenty-four. In the early
part of her career she learned one role
after another, not because she had been
ngaged to sing it, but because she
wished to be prepared when the op-
portunitY arrived. At the start her
best opportunities came through this
complete equipment. When an older
singer cast for an important part fell

But this came only after several years
of rigorous preparation in Boston un-

and subsequently in Italy, where she
studied repertoire with Signor San g.
