This posi tion Bhe held for one year at a salary of £200, and had eight thousand children under her weekly instruction. At the close of this engagement she entered upon the teaching of large classes in singing, adults as well as children. Later, Bhe gave children's floral concerts, the la9t of which took place in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1875, when over four hundred children participated in the programme. In a letter to the Dexter Gazette the Worcester corres pondent says :— "The week just ended has witnessed a splendid musical entertain' ment. The Mechanics' Hall, one of the largest and most beautiful places for public entertainments in the country, has been filled to overflowing. The occasion of all the excitement has been a floral and mythological concert by over four hundred children, under the direction of Mrs Mary H. Flunkett, of Boston," &C. * * * * Oar papers vie with each other in Hounding the praises of the lady who has so well succeeded in raising the standard of music in our city. It required biz weeks to prepare this con cert. The expenses were £140, the receipts JS34O, leaving £200 earned in the six weeks. At another time Bhe went into a new city, a perfect Btrauger, and insti tuted a course of lectures. At the end of six weeks she had taken in money £600. Her work has always been successful, because she never undertakes anything into whioh she cannot throw her whole eoul. Following this heavy toil Bhe found her health much impaired, and shortly after left the Eastern States, and went far west to reside, always, however, keeping up an interest in CHARITABLE AND PHILANTHROPIC WOEK. She was an ardent advocate for the enfranchisement of women, and an in terested student of the laws cf heredity. In 1879 she was appointed Director for the western district by the Institute of Heredity, of Boston. She was also instru mental in founding a " Home " for girls.
