possesses a very promising musical
talent. The Chopin Valse was deliv-

Miss Mercer an opportunity TO show
her ability. and II was little short OF

When Miss Connor had concluded
her last number, according to her
program she was presented with
beautiful bouquet of roses and called
back second and third time by
such waves of applause as any public
perormer could wish. The closing
number was appropriate as an end 10
