Milwaukee, on Saturday evening,
which is spoken of in glowing terms
by the Milwaukee press. Miss Devoe, who
is daughter of Mrs. o. A DeVoe, and
| sister of our townsman, Fred DeVoe,
is native of Wisconsin, having been
born in Richland Center She is a
graduate of Milwaukee Downer, where
she received high honors, both in vo-
cal and piano culture, and since then
has studied constantly in Chicago.
From the Milwaukee papers we learn
| that Miss DeVoe, who is under the
Gordon & Fulcher management, ex-
| poets to sail for Cuba at an early date,
where she will appear in number of
concerts in Havana and other cities,
and from there she will make an ex-
| tended trip through South America

| people and number of records have
been made of the numbers given. Miss
