She still interests herself in 11 music, being the leader of the Bach Choir, ^ a private association, to which some of the first blies of London belong; and so so- ? vere U she in her requirement*, and so * strict in demanding their fulfillment, that *( her high-born nupils are often tempted to j( rebel.

The latter estimate C0Jj ay be too high, but the former is scarce- zivi too low. inin This state of affaire was brought about t|lCj f two causes.

When operations began they work- ?per 1 like men prossed by debt and refresh- n 1 by rest.
