In a letter received from New York
this morning concerning news OF the
/ musical world, a paragraph reads IKE
| this: Louise Homer, the contralto,
expects soon to be able to look proudly
upon five instead of six children. Un-
der the circumstances it would not be
surprising if the singer does not appear
in the Metropolitan opera casts until
the season is well under way" The
! statement doesn't seem to listen" just
| right but whether the typewriter re-
ve1sed the order of the figures, or
| whether Louise is expecting the death
| of one of her brood of six or plans TO
take it out in a gunnysack and lose it,
does not appear.
