| the greatest sensations of the year al
! her debut in New York a year ago
dressed in Ckrainfan peasant costume
| with loose trousers and high boots
but when she sang her auditors could
not resist the impulse to emphasize
| her interpretations with facial ex-
preston and with gesture. Subscrib-
ers to the T. Arthur Smith ten sta
series will be given special rates fo1
the recital If applied for before Tues.
