and dignified Queen and the impres

then heard in this city for the first
time, in d'Hardelot's dainty gem

place for all time in the music world
of Astoria, by this offering and that
which followed the marked applause
accorded her. Director E. Wahl, of
the Norwegian Singing Society of this
city then led his fine chorous through
the notes of a ringing folk-song by
Been and was rewarded on the spot

his rendition of. "Sight No More,
Ladies," from Much Ado About Noth--
Ing Dr. Enna' "How Shall I Sing To
My Fair One?" in delicious. fashion
