After going back to Chicago in February with Lyceum, we will. about the first of April go to California, going first to Los Angeles and through the west. There we expect to give our southern program as well as the regular recitals; after this tour We will return to Cleveland with Lyceum."
 Both of these charming girls are typically southern, Miss Bell is a blonde with soft hazen eyes and light brown hair, a Tennessean, by, pretty, even for Tennessee: Miss Co., ing is exactly the opposite. being a brunette with coal black hair and large brown eyes.
