Whether her emphatic success in that role kindled an affection'for Guo nod's heroine, makes but little differ ence, the fact remains that Miss Ho bert -has made Margarita a special study and no other character,' in the wide repertoire of her grand opera achievements, consumes so much of hex -music love as "does the sweet, sentimental, girlish innocence as pic tured in her estimation of - Guonod's beautiful creation. --"r:,-., ... f . : Perhaps, it is "The - Jewel Song," which appeals mostly to her tempera mental imagination and which she is said to render with ; an, exhuberance of , youth and vocal intensity, at any rate Miss Hobert is never so happy as - when her services are required to sing Margarita. - . ; Comfort at the Bijou. .
