Miss Ostrander has given ample evidence of her many talents in her college career, but is perhaps known especially as an eloquent and fluent speaker. It is this talent Which has helped her to gain much of her brilliant success in social Set- tlement work. Her presence at the Lawrence House is hailed With pleasure by the poor little outcasts who sit lost in delight While Miss Ostrander discourses to them in her usual breezy and fascinating style. A sketch of Miss Ostrander would be incomplete without mentioning her remarkable dramatic ability. She will always be remembered for her success as the star in Lend Me Five Shillingsf, and' as Dolly in nLondon Assurance. Miss Mary Jane Alford is now oc- cupied in a new field of charity l MARY J.

There was a full house last night to applaud the universal favorite, Alice Bennett. Although for some time past her voice has been recog- nized as one of unusual sweetness and power, this is the first time Miss Bennett has attempted grand opera. The musical critics prophesy great success in this new field. Among the many enthusiastic lis- teners were a number of Womans College students, with whom the distinguished singer was so popular while among them. Well do they remember the sweet songs she used to sing with such charm and ease of manner at the Glee Club concerts and other College affairs. It is of interest to note that she also took much pleasure in athletics and was a tennis player of no little skill.
