Madame Lunde Souther sang for the
afternoon. Madame Souther has been
training voices at Washburn college
for a number of years, and her occa-

Topeka people an opportunity to know

anne Souther has the gift of pleasing
her audience in personal way. She
laughs with them now and then-not
a conventional shipper. but a laugh of
real merriment. and then she has that
slight foreign accent that seldom fails
to please American ears.
The Sweet home is admirably adapt
