Miss Gardner is avery popular art
ist, especially in the middle west
where she hda been heard the mbst
and her appearances are features of
the artistic life in many of the larg
est musical cehters. Her voice has a
magnificent contralto quality that
rangse .into a mezzo soprano and it
has wonderful clarity and charm.
Th$ beauty of her voice alon^would
be sufficient to make her renowned
among vocal artists and the fact that
she combines it with musical intelli
gence of the highest order entitles
to her other qualifications, she hod a
most charming personality—a person

appearance here is, in itself, a notable
event and the fact (hat she comes as
dn emissary of a new art, lends the
recital in whicirthe will appear a rare
distinction. '
Miss Gardner will be assisted by
the talented young American flutist,
Mr. Harold Lyman. Mr. Lyman enf
joys great popularity bn the concert
platform and by reason of his de
lightful and well known phonograph
records.
The program will include solos by
Miss Gardner and by Hrv Lyman and
some numbers in which bqth parties
will be heard.-
Tbe interest that is being mani
fested in the affair indicates that
large and distinguished audience will
greet this charming young singer.

NUMBER 42
Washington, May.—In connection
with the retirement of • Congressman
William Schley‘"Howard from the
House in the near future to make the
race for the Senate', there Has been
much gossip centering around Repre
sentative Crisp, Wise, Larsen and
Park regarding tho filling of the place
now held by Mr;. Howard on the ap
propriations committee.
. Mr. Srisp is already a member of
the important ways and means com
mittee and his name has figured more
extensively in congressional matters,
when it was'believed that there might
be a new speaker of the House.'Char-
lie Crisp, it was said by many, would
fill tho bill, and something would
done which has never been done bc-
foro by this government—to have a
father as a speaker of the House and
afterward have a son fill the same
place. ^ Now that Speaker Clark will
where he is, there will be no
chancQ for Mr. Crisp at this time, but
he isT certain' to become speaker at
some time in tho future as night fol
lows days.
Mr. Crisp has probably been called
upon to act as'speaker pro tern, of the
House more times since he has been in
Congress than any other member past
or present. This is due to his general
popularity, his fairness, and his won
derful knowledge of" parliamentary
law. Before he became.a member of
the rfousc, Mr. .Crisp was parliamen
tary clerk, and thus paved the way to
bigger things hereafter." I
