AT PLEASURES CALL.


not an occasion when the young
lady
Who never played with ivory keys"
was given prominent place on the
programme. Quite the contrary.
Several young lady pupils of B.
Frank Harris, who have grown
familiar with the touch of the ivory
KEYS, entertained a large number of
invited guests and gave evidence of
much musical ability. The solo,
.our-hand and eight-hand work at
the piano was nicely done, some of
the players showing a strong and
effective touch. The programme
was varied with songs by Mr.. Mays
pupils, and the entire recital reflect
ed pleasantly and creditably on all

a Golden Cross Dinner
The local branch Of the U. o. 6. c.
served a dinner at Pythian Hall last
Friday evening from six to eight
o'clock, the meal being disposed of
to the accompaniment OF good music
by the Golden Cross Orchestra. A
short musical and literary pro-
gramme followed, including songs
bv Miss Shufelt and Mr.. Shufelt,
violin solo by Miss Sadie Batchelder,
which elected a rousing encore, and
readings by Miss jamie Blanchard.
A clOthes-pin promenade was the at
traction during the latter part of the
evening.
The Mary Rowe Concert.
The appearance here of Mary
Howe, Mr.. LAWN and their concert
company on Tuesday evening of
next week at Music Hall, should be
the signal for a full house. ST.
Johnsbury people know so much of
the talented soprano and her hus-
band that comment now is scarcely
necessary. But we quote from
notice in the Springfield Republican:
The effect of the foreign training of
Mary Howe shows that she has i'm
proved in the quality of her singing. She
made no attempt to astound the people
by her great feats of vocaIism, as she did
when here before. Her voice, too, has
gained in fervor, while her execution is
faultless and effective. Mr.. LAWN inn
pressed his audience as only a fine tenor
could. He has a strong and passionate
voice under excellent control. The best
work of the evening was in the duo.
They kindly repeated "Tornami a Dio
che m ami" as an encore. They were re-
called again and again and responded
three times during the evening.
Mr.. Ferguson. baritone; Miss
Becker, violinist; and Mr.. Howe,
pianist, are the other members of the
company. Tickets now on sale at
Bingham's and Bagley's, at SOC, 75c,
and 500.
Countess for Day.
Much interest is attached to the
coming of the Ideal Opera Com
panv at the Opera House tonight.
The artists are all good singers and
the opera of Countess for Day" is
bright and pleasing. The part of
Lunastro, king of the fairy realm,
is assumed by Miss May Bosley.
who is said to be one of the hand
soonest women on the stage, besides
having a most delightful voice. She
was the principal contralto in the
Lillian Durrell Opera Co. last season
and created a sensation wherever
they appeared. Tickets at Randall's
and Walkers.
Entertainment at School.
Miss Harvey's private pupils in
elocution gave very pleasing enter
tainment at the Union school build
ing last Friday afternoon, in the
presence of a number of interested
friends. The literary features were:
The Drawbridge Keeper" recited
by Edna Miner; "If were Voice"
by Florence Russell "Whistling Regi-
ment, by Grace Kinsman; THE
Indian Deacon" by Marion Fair
