about starting up Cor getting
into), trio or quartet of girl
singers? I have done solo soprano
work for some time, but think it

amount of granulated sugar and
add a drop or two Of oil Of pepper
mint (from the drug store), and
Ia bit of the red coloring sold for
Iicings and similar purposes? It
seems to me an easier way to
achieve the same result.
