The Sjoabobl (hamlet) of Bnugge, to which the part of the forest belonged where she had first seen the light of day, was a few miles distant from Wexio, and the highest ambition of the poor children was to be able to get to the fair of Wexio and earn a fow pence somehow in that great town of some 1.800 inhabitants, In order to reach that glorious result, little Christine, who had taught herself to play on a small fiddle which belonged to her elder brother, and which you can see any day you please in the magnificent mansion she has built for herself in Bouth Kensington, entered into partnership with bhér brother, who was already ber inferior as a violinist, and they started out together for the celebrated Wexio, AT A VILLAGE FAIR, On they went, per podes apostolorum, until they reached, on thelr way, Lijung-by (hy means village), where there was held a small fair, and where the ACCON panied ber own voice in the few Swedish national songs she then had heard and re her With great pride she rein is, her first open ar threepence young violinist tained in Precox tos that her half-penny, fo id wealth which awaited at the fair Talther paired with ali tl SL Ti lous memory concert, brought town then, y and money can the man | Now York Conchmen and Foolmen.
