MISS OTIE CHEW
With this issue we present to our readers a portrait of Miss Otic Chew. The talented childviolinist, who is the youngest daughter of the Rev. James Chew, Pastor of the Bercsford-street Congregational Church, is an American by birth. At the age when children find a haven of solace in dolls and toys, the little one evinced a passionate love of music, which soon centered itself in the instrument in the mastery of which she (now though only 13 years of age) shows phenomenal talent.
In private life Miss Otic is loved by all for her bright, affectionate nature, and ready wit. In company with her mother the clever child leaves Auckland by the Mararoa, ni. route for England, where she intends studying at the lloyal Academy of Music. Her handsome, mobile face and picturesque little figure will be sadly missed in social circles, as will the magic music obtained from her beloved violin at the musical events in which she so often shone as star.
Miss Otic belongs to a musical family, her father, as well as her duet of pretty sisters, being talented musicians.
