passionately fond Of singing. and
few years ago she began thorough
study of the art. Some two years ago
she made her professional debut in a
great music festival at Syracuse, N.
Y. where she appeared a. soloist with
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Her success was instantaneous. Ex-
president Roosevelt was in the au-
dience and led the applause for the
distinguished singer. Since that aus
picious debut Miss Wilson has sung
in numberless concerts in the Eastern
and Southern cities. everywhere win
