pleasing of the many musical sue

superb contralto was heard in THE
Cry of Rachel" the song which won
for the talented young singer a schol-
arship in Whitman college. 1t was sung
with a depth of feeling and an artistic
finish which secured warm admira-

work showing a great deal of talent.
The lovely girlish appearance of both
the singers, their natural, unaffected

delight. Mr.. Wesbrook is to be very
warmly congratulated upon having de-
veloped two voices which promise
great things for the future. A charm
