Popular Society Treat.


The Musicales given by the ladies of
Emmanuel Church last Tuesday after
noon and evening at Miss May Gould's
Studio, on Sixth street, was largely
attended by our citizens at both ses-
sions-about two hundred being pres
ent during the evening. 1t was voted
the grandest musical treat ever given
in Emporium, we areinformed by those
in attendance. The entertainment
netted the church fund q neat sum-
The Pastors Of all churches were pres
ent, as we'll as their members and all
express themselves delighted with the
music furnished by the Buffalo Cham
ber Music Club, composed of Mrs.
Nellie NJ. Gould, pianist; Mr.. JOS. 4.
Ball, violinist; Mr.. Richard Fricke,
'cellist; assisted by Miss Agnes Mccoy,
of Smethport, soprano.
The trio composed of Mrs. Gould,
Mr.. Ball, and Mr. Fricke is recognized
everywhere as one of the best combi-
nations now before the public. Their
ensemble work is faultless-the three
playing as one They are all admir-
ably equipped technically and their in
terpretations are always artistic.
Mr.. Fricke's cello solos were rem
dered with all the skill of an artist
possessing a musicianly soul, refined
taste and musical intelligence.
Mr.. BalPs violin solos showed his
splendid technique and great depth Of
feeling and true conception of each
composer.
Miss Agnes Mccoy, of Smethport,
one of the most popular singers in this
section of the state, added greatly to
the success Of the entertainment. Her
sweet and cultured voice and pleasant
address captured the large audience.
Our citizens who attended the mus
icales will heartily endorse the follow
ing from Rev. Mr. Robertson:
There was but one verdict respecting the
quality of the performances of the Buffalo Cham
Der Music Club at theirmusjcales at Miss GouId's
on Tuesday evening and that was that no bet
ter music has ever been heard in Emporium. s.

A Girls College Education.

A graduate of Cornell University
will tell in carefully detailed article
in the August Ladies' Home Journal,
Glow Girl Can Work Her Way
Through College" There are almost
innumerable methods by which girl
can pay for her education while she is
studying. Colleges and universities
make most generous provisions for
young women and young men who are
withoutmoney, but who have brains
and energy. So no apt, worthy girl
need be without a college education if
she wants one and is determined to
have it. This artice will tell how it is
to be obtained through personal effort

A Brilliant Social Event.

The longest day in the year was
brought to a brilliant close last Thurs
day evening, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Josiah Howard, entertained upwards
of two hundred guests at their spacious
home on West Fourth street, in honor
of the fourteenth anniversary of their
marriage. The entire lower floor of
the house, which was elaborately and
handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion, with palms, potted plants and
summer blossoms, was thrown open
to the guests. The manteis were richly
banked with ferns and flowers, while
punches of long stemmed roses nod
ding from tall vases were scattered
carelessly about the rooms. In the
dining room the decorations were
especially artistic and effective. Here
the color scheme was green and white.
Broad streamers of green ribbon,
upon which were caught long stemmed
white roses, extended from the chan
delier over the centre of the table to

place by lunches of white roses and
loops of ribbon. White roses with their
green foliage were scattered over the
table. The candelabra shades were
of delicate green and the mantle was
banked in green and white foliage and
flowers. The verandahs which were
also decorated and illuminated, were
cleverly arranged for smoking rooms,
punch rooms and cosy corners. Upon
the lawn q platform forty feet square
was erected for dancing. This was
gaily trimmed with lanterns, flags and
bunting, while a tall screen of laurel,
with the shining leaves hid the dancers
from the public street. Chappell
orchestra of Williamsport, furnished
the music for dancing and also render
ed number of fine selections in the
house during the reception hour.
Laedlein of Williamsport, furnished
the supper.
The reception which was general
and included the older element in
society as well as the rose buds, was
easily the most elaborate and com
plete social entertainment ever given
in Emporium
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard are ideal en-
tertainers and left nothing undone
which could add to the comfort and
pleasure of their guests. They were
assisted in receiving by Miss Mingle,
of New York City, Mrs. Geo. Goshorn,
of Charleston, w. Va, Mr.. and Mrs. r.
A. Jaggard, Of Williamsport and Mr..

AS Others See Them.

Miss Mary Robinson, of this place,
and Mr.. Elmer Burlingame, recent
graduates of West Chester Normal
School, have both secured lucrative po-
sitions-the former in Delaware county
and the latter principal of the Austin
schools. The West Chester Local News,
while speaking of the numerous grad
yates has this to say of our young
friends:
MARY ROBINSON.
One of the favorite reciters of the
Moore society is Miss Mary Robinson,
who has on several occasions taken
prominent parts in the public meetings.
She hopes III time to specialize in pri-
mary work and expression. With the
experience gained from ten years of
teaching in the schools of Shippen
township and Emporium, Cameron
county, she will be able to take up
schoolroom duties readily. Miss Rob-
inson is graduate of the high school
Of her home, Emporium, where her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Robinson
reside.
ELMER BURLINGAME.
Elmer Burlingame, is from Sizerville,
Cameron county. He is q son of Delos
Burlingame, retired farmer and is re-
lated to Anson Burlingame, ut one time
Ambassador to China. Another rela-
tive, Edgar Burlingame, has held an
editorial position on the staff of the well
known 'Scribners" Magazine. The
young man will ultimately enter some
other occupation, but at present will
probably teach. He has already had
three years experience as teacher at
"Forest House," Potter county. He
attended the High School at Olean,
New York and took the Junior year at
Lock Haven State Normal School.
While here an Aryan by choice and
conviction and in the realm of study
delights most in the languages.

HUNTING FOR
