Our Autumn Queen can usually he found in the music room during ' her free moments accompanied hy Johanne Peroni and singing the classics or lighter melo- dies. Babysitting, reading, an orange for lunch and the question What have you got for lunch? nearly complete her agenda for the day. Our great expectation of Robbie is to see her, Un bel di, in a request performance at the l'Met, greeted hy well deserved success. The biggest hint of such a future lies in her choice of the question, the secret of success is constancy in spirit. Music in all its proportions and grandeur is the greatest longing she has for the future. We feel she has much to contribute to this Held,- Wl1e1'e music dwells lingering, and wandering as loath to die. Next to excellence is the appreciation of it. . . . 35
