the tutelege of Mrs. Thilo Becker, who
as Ottie Chew was a widely known
violin virtuoso.

of her associate artists, Jay Plowe,
eminent flute Virtuoso, and Mary New

tour of the world, which will be begun
early in the autumn.

songs of her own composition, LULA

first compositions she has essayed, and

ambitions of the composer. They are
simple ballads, and not only the mel

to be especially effective.
