The trio of charming young ladies are collectively and individually masters of their respective arts. Little Miss Stevens, as an inpersonator of boys and girls, is without a peer. Miss Charlotte Chamberlain presented something en. tirely new in her bird warbling, which was both true to nature and skilfully rendered, Her crayon work on the chart showed her to be an artist of no mean ability, while as a pianist she proved her versatility as an all ‘round performer. Miss Welsh's greatest abil ity lies in her handling of the violin, and she piays the classics and popular music with equal facility. Their varied program was a real treat.
