who has gained considerable reputa-
ton throughout the country for her
musical compositions. especially vocal
numbers has been asked to place copies
of her sacred songs, "Our Prayer,
and 81 Trust in Thee. o Lord" in ev-
cry army cantonment in the country.

the recognition that has come to her
in the selection of her compositions.
