certain matters connected with the
preparation for service in Mexico.
The third regiment was to go to
Camp Lake View tonight for the an

The range, and quality and power of

Miss Macbeth sang varied pro-

voice One wondered which to admire
more the gay enchantment of her
numbers or the appealing quality in
those of more sombre cast. The in

lost even in the strongest, most pow
erful passages. There is youth in her
voice, brilliancy, purity and finish. 1t

bird but the thrush the warbler and

And behind the song is the singer,
with her winning personality, her
dramatic gifts, her charming sim
plicity and her generous impulses.
One was impressed anew by this
gifted woman who has sung before
the most critical audiences of the
world, coming to our town and Civ
ing the gift of her voice to aid one of
our girls in musical achievement. The
spirit of Miss Macbeth equals her
song.

Miss Macbeth's gifts have no string
tied to them and even her expenses

Mrs. Bliss also gave her services
for the entertainment without cost
which was no small tribute to the al
