TESTIMONIALS.
Miss Kelsey has given special attention to Reading and Elocution for a
number of years. She has a powerful voice, with variety of expression.
Miss Kelsey I know to be a lady of true Christian principles, ambitions
to excel, and set a good example in Elocution and Literature. I
commend her to those interested in this branch of learning.
Allen A. Griffith,
Author of "Lessons in Elocution,"
And Professor of Elocution at
State Normal School at Ypsilanti, Mich.
I have long known Professor Griffith, whose communication is
enclosed. Such is his ability in his profession, and so large are his
acquirements, And so just and broad his critical faculty, that I cannot
commend Miss Kelsey in any way so well as by saying that I accept the
Professor's judgment as most satisfactory. His opinion of her is reliable
beyond question.
I have been pleased with Miss Kelsey's views on Elocution, as far as I
can learn them from a single interview, and hope she may be successful
in the profession she has chosen.

Miss Kelsey has been under my instruction in Elocution, and I take
pleasure in saying that she was so earnest in study, and so faithful in
practice, that her proficiency was very great. I bespeak for her added
success as a teacher; and from the repertoire which her recent study has
given, new triumphs as a public reader.
Anna Randall Diehl,
Author of "Randall's Elocution," and "The Quarterly
Elocutionist."
Ann Arbour, November 3rd, 1880.
To whom it may concern:
I have known Miss Kelsey (now Mrs. William J. Howard) for upwards
of two years, and have a high respect for her as a conscientious,
cultivated and agreeable lady, who is entitled to confidence and esteem.
She has a good reputation as an Elocutionist, and I have no doubt
would give valuable and faithful instruction to any one who may seek
her aid.

November
13th, 1880.
For several years Mrs. Anna K. Howard, (then Miss Kelsey) lived in
Ann Arbor as a teacher of Elocution, and also as a student in one of our
professional departments, and was known to me as very earnest in all

her work.
I never had the pleasure of hearing her read or of witnessing any of her
instructions in Elocution; but of her proficiency in both directions, I
frequently heard very favourable reports.

MISS KELSEY fairly took the audience by storm, being heartily
encored. She is one of the best professional readers we have ever
listened to.

[_Ann Arbor (Mich.) Courier_.]
MISS KELSEY'S manner is simple and graceful, or full of vigour and
fire; her voice singularly sweet and flexible, or deep and sonorous at
will. Miss K. has given readings in many of our important cities, and
she always
