She has written a number of good songs,

O'Grady," "My Sweet Kimona, 5 ' "Mamie
Reilly," "Down at Rosie Reilley's Flat,"

Her latest compositions which are becom-
ing known everywhere are "You'll Always
Be the Same Sweet Girl to Me," "Pearlie,"
"My Little Creole Babe," "My Pretty Little
China Maid," "Lady Peggy" waltzes, and

Miss Nugent's songs are being sung and
whistled by everybody in every town from
Maine to 'Frisco.
Miss Nugent has been especially engaged
as a feature act with the Empire Vaudeville

everywhere.
Miss Nugent writes exclusively for the
popular publishing house of Shapiro, Bern-
stein & Co. of New York.

uptown from Twenty-eighth street to 129
West Forty-second street, say that T. Aldrich
Libbey and Katherine Trayer made a sen-
sational success at Pittsburg with their song,
"My Bessie's Wedding Day," and that the
same song is being featured by John Oss-
