She likes Toronto too, of course, but she likes home best, and home is Swastika. The conversation reverted again to music.

Apparently her one desire to put forth every effert in order to attain her goal. â€" Greetings andâ€"a casual conversation over, Miss Dickinson and Mrs. McCurdy were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. P.

Miss Dickinson who has been heard over a number of CBC proâ€" grams and at several successful concert appearances thrilled the audâ€" lerce with her superb mastery of sang and her youthful grace and charm.
