| with a smile.
 This little woman suffered such sorrow of mind and agony of body that a weaker intellect would have : been unbalanced. but her dauntless soul dwelt on a plane serene and high and all the blows of an unkind fate could not vanquish her smile.
 She grew old in years and in wis dom, but she never acquired the bit terness of spirit which makes the lives of many elderly people a thing to be pitied
 Her cheery smile and courageous example lives in the memory of all who knew and loved her and is d better monument to her virtues than would any number of tons of bronze and stone piled high above her mar row bed

 The above program was enjoyed by an appreciative audience at the Arizona School of Music an Fri day evening. The singing by An na Marie Luke proved very pleas ing. particularly the song Who Is Sylvia" by Schubert. but the danc- ing of Miss Doris Kingman was the star attraction of the evening. This extremely graceful young woman gave a Spanish dance and also the na- tional dance of Poland and was heart fly applauded and encored by the spectators. The costuming in both dances was perfect and made them seem much more realistic and added great deal to the beauty of the presentation The vivacious. graceful ness of the Spanish dance cOntrasted with the spirited military dash of the Polish dance and gave Miss King man an excellent opportunity to dis play her talents. The orchestra. un- der the leadership of MT. Roy Por- ter. rendered several beautiful selec tions The Pizzicato Polka by Strauss to please the audience most but the music from Henry VIII. and Overture Stradella. by FlotOw. were really better played. The piano selec ticns by Miss Aleida Visschers were brilliantly executed. Miss Visschers is accounted one of the best performers on the piano that has ever come to Phoenix
 If future orchestral concerts prove to be as entertaining and as we'll rendered as the one on Friday even ing, they are bound to become very popular
 There is the possibility of a rare musical treat in store for Phoenix people. Some of the prominent mu- sicians of the city are negotiating | with the New York manager of Mad 1 anne Ernestine Schumann- Heink to see if it can be arranged to get the noted prima donna to come to Phoenix i for a concert of standard repertoire | and grand opera, the latter part of January. u is common knowledge 1 that Schumann Heink is the worlds | greatest contralto. famous both in America and abroad. her salary is | princely and at first thought it would | seem impossible to get this wonderful singer to come to Phoenix. She is making a tour of the southwest at present. however. and has been en- gagged to sing at both Albuquerque | and Los Angeles, and it is hoped that enough patrons may be secured who will subscribe for tickets to make it | an object for her to stop here.
 If Madame Schumann- Heink should i sing for us who are dwellers in the desert. it is positively known that she will not disappoint us, as have so many singers who are travelling on their past fame. A well known Glendale lady who heard her sing this summer in New York says that he Madame's superb voice is just in it's prime In a concert she gave in the Greek theatre at Berkeley CaIif.. over 10000 people listened to he golden voice and gave the singer ! tremendous ovation.
 Such well known women as Mrs M. F.. Swetnam. Mrs. w. L. Pinney md others are patrons of the grand
