She returned to Chicago and studied drawing and anatomy. So clever was she that at the end of the first year she began to teach those subjects at the Institute. Later, she went to New York where she studied with Herman MacNeil and Daniel Chester French. She really made her debut in sculpture at the St.
If I am at home for the Stoneborough ball, I wonder whether my father will let me go to it." This result of Harry's successful debut in high life struck his sister and Norman as so absurd that both laughed. "What's the matter now?" asked Harry. "Your comparing Flora's party to a Stoneborough ball," said Norman. "It is all the same, isn't it?" said Harry.
It was here that our Battalion Concert Party made their debut. There were seven of them, Corpl. Hamilton, Ptes. R. Lyon, Ptes. T. Elliot and J.B. Smith.
A season seldom passes without witnessing the début of some half-dozen aspirants for public approbation, but the great majority of them settle down into some special field of labour, and do not acquire world-wide fame as virtuosi. Virtuosity to-day depends very largely on the art of advertising.
In the same year, the year in which Macdonald was first elected to parliament, another young Scotsman, likewise to attain great prominence in the country, made his début upon the Canadian stage.
My predecessor, previous to her debut at Barney's Gap, had spent some time in a lunatic asylum, and being a curious character, allowed the children to do as they pleased, consequently they knew not what it meant to be ruled, and were very hold.

The image being placed by them on a sofa in front of the altar, the superior of the seminary made his début, retiring to the railing that surrounds the altar, when he knelt, and bending low his head apparently in devout adoration, he arose, then advanced two steps towards the altar and knelt again; he knelt the third time close to the side of the image, which he devoutly embraced, then withdrew: the younger priests performed the same ceremonies; and after them every one of their congregation: yet these people protest that their religion has no connexion with idolatry, and that the representations of Protestants regarding it are false and calumnious.
For with Fanny making but a sorry equestrian debut and Hosmer creeping along at her side; Thérèse unable to hold Beauregard within conventional limits, and Melicent and Grégoire vanishing utterly from the scene, sociability was a feature entirely lacking to the excursion. “David, I can’t go another step: I just can’t, so that settles it.”
She made her début in 1866, at Prague, and ten years later sang the small rôles of the first Rhine maiden and the forest bird in "Rheingold" and "Siegfried," at the Bayreuth festival little fancying, perhaps, that she would twelve years later be the queen of German opera in America.
