 Miss Humphrey, who is unusually pleasing to look upon, was beautiful 1y gowned for her appearance in a creation of lavender crepe, wearing 9 corsage of parma violets tfed@with royal purple. An exquisite white ostrich fan added to her toilette. and she wore suspended on a long chain a luck piece presented to her by Enrico Caruso. Miss Humphreys S programme was varied and present. ed with much charm and ability, and this rare artist received the most insistent and profuse applause. Her voice Is rich and full and her notes In the upper register about B flat rang out full and resonant in her rendition of "Vissi d'Arte." Her dic- ton is superb; her enunciation clear and her temperament aids here in '%deiineating any song.
