Miss Eaton. who is a Bristol girl, pos

adhnsiveness to duty that so often con-
etitutes an element of western life began
her studies in Chicago. where her talent
and application place her in advance OF
her classes, so that she was the recipient
Of three medals-among them the Levi

ships.
After a period of successful work with
Fsperanza GarriEue, the well known No-
cal teacher of New York, she pursued
her studies abroad under NJ. Catherine,
repctiteur Of the grand opera, and ".
