ticular charm of voice or art, she DIS
played that intelligence and clearness
of expression which discriminating
lovers of song delight in.
Miss Nash has played for US before,
and very much as she did yesterday.
We are likely to hear much of such
playing, as we are OF Miss Shepherds
singing, until the tax on deadheads
makes the giving of recitals hard

ing and singing will not be good, only
that it will not be so supremacy good
as to Justify it when there is so much
music to be heard. How are we TO
discriminate? Wasn't it Gilbert who
wrote. when everybody's somebody

likely to be the case with recital givers,

deserved need of praise from so hnne

question is, What shall we do with the
