She had numerous engagements witli the orchestra, and represented the Royal College and tlie Royal Academy of Music as a singer during the presentation of diplomas at. Blackheath. Crowded audiences heard her give recitals at Hammersmith and Isleworth. Miss Martin is now an Associate of the Royal College of Music.
