A Whistling Solo.
AT DIVINE SERVICES. New York, July 29. A whistling solo is the latest thing in the line of music to be introduced into Divine services in a New York church. At a Baptist church recently the worshippers were entertained by the rendering of Schumann’s “Traumerel” by Miss Louise Truax, a whistler.
Miss Truax whistled during the collection. After the services she was induced to whistle “The Mocking Bird.’ Miss Truax wore a dress of pure white. She is 19 years of age.

Cappiani and Miss Emma Thursby, who became interested in her gift.
