MISS ADELAIDE VAN ! This young artist has not only won the applause of the musical public of Europe but has evoked remarkably poetic expressions of admiration from the stern and scholarly critics of Italy, as is shown by the following translated extract from a Milan paper:—"Apart from the wonderful organ with which she has been endowed by nature Miss Van Staveren has that mentality, understanding, insight, or what you will, which enables her to lay bare the soul of the composer, conveying his most subtle meaning and making his tone-picture live. Her performance is not merely singing, it is the soul of a woman speaking to the hearts of the great public, transporting their niinds by the magic of her art of poesy." Box plans for Miss Van Staveren's Palmerston North recital will be opened at Oates' Music Stores this morning. There are North British solid truck tyres for every truck. Form-a-trucks. Ford one-ton trucks, and every kind of runabout. Giving: the world's best service always. Local agents, G. E. SpiniOT.*
