Mrs. Edith Lemke showed a contralto contral-to voice of great purlt and richness. Mrs. Laura B. Taylor appeared to great adantage in two numbers that displayed tasteful treatment and a clear sweet soprano voice. Miss Marie Ingebretsen surprised all by her exquisite rendering of two numbers num-bers in which her dramatic soprano was most effective.
