".Mein Glaubig'os llcr/,o ' and "Willst dv dien Horz | fechenken,"—in which she gave, thoroughly -artistjc expression to the music and character of the three widely diflering themes, her encore number l>ei'i' g i ° "" '■" :l riiorccan, the beauty of which was thoroughly realised by tlio sin-or mid artistically conveyed to the audience. In arm" Casta Diva." (from "Nornia") and thivn. short compositions hv PiircelJ Hook, and Carey, she was again eminently successful, the beautiful mcwxlics of the aria enabling in.ademoisellp to dully demoiistratu tile ricliness and sweetness of her voice. In response to encores the .singer sang "Com in' through the rye" and "Kobin Adair" ■and it may at once be said that these .wo simple pongs have never probably oren rendered in such an artistic manner on .a.
