tions will be pumpkins and a Japan
csc serving basket.
Friends of Miss Hazelle Loveland,
who is studying music in New York
this year. will be interested in know
ing that she has accepted a position
as soprano soloist and member of a
quartet singing Sunday mornings at
the meetings held in Carnegie hall.
These meetings are attended by i'm
menSe audiences, usually about 1000
people, and the place of singer at
these gatherings is considered quite
an enviable one and one of impor-
lance.
Miss Loveland is studying with Mrs.
Viola Waterhouse, who has been en-
gagged in concert and opera work pre-
ViOuS to this year, and she is living
in the home of her teacher, which is
beautifully situated near the Hudson,
and in addition to her regular lessons
in Mrs. Warehouses; home and I'M
der her direction. Two days of the
week she plays accompaniment for
Mrs. Waterhouse, for her classes in
Englewood, n. J. And Miss Loveland
has met old friends in the east, too,
making her stay pleasant. The regu-
lar accompanies for Mrs. Waterhouse

friend of Miss Loveland's in Omaha,
and across the street from the Wa
terhouse home are living two Kansas
girls from EmpOria, who are studying
music in New York. One of them
had been a visitor at the Loveland
home in Topeka, and their meeting
there was a coincident pleasing to
both. Another mark of success that
has attended Miss Loveland's stay in
New York is an offer of a position to
sing at one of the large churches,
which she refused on account of her
prior engagement at Carnegie hall.
