She finished her Orpheum engagement last night, and will leave San Francisco with the Alice Nielsen Opera Company. She has had the good fortune to be chosen for a position | no less important than that of understudy to Miss Nielsen herself. Miss de Sousa is becoming famed as a | lucky girl. Her start in music was secured in a_Chicago rchool of music, in which she had through good fortune obtained a scholarship. Recently she was voted the most popular girl in the Church of the Holy Name parish, in Chicago, at a parish bazaar. The prize was a trip to Europe, a pleasure which she will now defer untii the close of the opera season. When she does go she will improve the opportunity by studying under Mme. Marchesi. The calendars shown by Cooper & Co. this season supersede all their previous efforts in this line. All the leading makers are represented.
