to enthusiasm that outruns all bounds.
With the Impassioned nature, rich pootio

genial disposition . and piquant ' humor
peculiarly her own. Tin addition to this.
she has been given a voice of such ex

trolled by sucb rare perfection of art,
that no one can withstand the' appeal
of those flute-like, enthralling tones.
