Anyone fond of music will be delighted with her work, as she has already received the highest com- mendation from the leading artists of this continent. In company with Miss Vagara, Miss Jessie Alexander, Canada's fav- orite elocutionist and entertainer, will also appear on the same evening. Miss Alexander is probably better "known as the author of "Encores."
