There is so much to be said about Buzzie that it is hard to know where to begin. She is just as good as she is pretty. Tliough reseryed in manner, her modesty adds to her charm. Her singing deserves a chapter to itself. Bessie ' s is no ordinary voice, but one characterized by a soothing, haunting sweetness. Withal she is a good sport. We predict that her ambition, her sincerity, and her high ideals in life will be the means of her attaining success in Cincinnati and later in the musical world.

This is really our dear old red-headed Emma — watch her eyes flash as that hideous word red is applied to her soft, wavy golden hair! But whatever the color, isn ' t it a crowning glory as it sparkles in the sunlight vieing in radiance the cunning smile beneath it? It seems strange that such a pleasing bit of humanity has never confessed herself crazy about the boys ; but, if you change the numlier of the noun and look deep into her two eyes, she hangs her little head as demurely as did the Priscilla of another John long ago. We know! We love Emma Rid- dick for her dependability, whole heartedness, and enthusiasm ; and we shall always remember with peculiar satisfaction the thrills we have felt as we sat with mouths dropped open, enraptured by her indepen- dent lays.
