Mrs. H. F. Guthrie entertained eight
tables of bridge this afternoon at her
home, 142O Harrison, in honor of Mrs.
w. R. Gurner of Trenton, Mo-, who is
Mrs. Guthrie's guest for a week.
Society in general attended the re-
cital which Miss Hazelle Lo Desca
Loveland gave Friday evening at the
first Methodist church. Miss LOveland
was undoubtedly at her best and dis
played to Topekans a trained voice of
extraordinary purity and range. She
was able to slip from the magnificence
light Tilt of "Will O. the Wisp'' and
"Mand olinata;" and to rise from the :
exquisite nonsense of "Daddy's Sweet
heart to the full toned beauty of !
group of children's songs was delight :
fully interpreted. Robert Louis Stew
enson's poem, THE Sick Child" set
to music by Sidney Homer, is an inter-
esting study; the pathetic helplessness |
of the dying child, afraid of he knows
not what. and the tender reinsurance
of the weeping mother demand subtle
change of tone and expression that
eruphatically demonstrated Miss Love- !
lands ability. Mrs. Beach's rollick-
ing MY Sweetheart and T." was
charming. Boston boasts or having l.
heard Luisa Tetrazzini reach the high
est note ever taken when she sang
Filina in Mignon; to show with what ,
ease she accomplished it, the prima .
donna stopped and nonchalantly pick ,
ed UP her diminutive mouchoir from
the floor. Although Miss Loveland
did nothing so dramatic she reached I!
her high notes with facility, and her
perfect enunciation should certainly
receive commentator from the Tct- {
razzini herself. '
Miss LoveIand who is the daughter 1
of Rev. and Mrs F. L. Loveland, and )
is the soprano of her fathers church, l
studies with Franklin Hunt of Kansas
City. Her technique, adaptability, and ,
finesse are unusual in SO young sing
er, and there were many last night
who said, Undoubtedly she is capable
of grand opera"
Not a little of the success of the
hurst, who is always an admirable ac- !
cOmpanist. Miss Loveland was at :
tractively gowned in white satin with
a chiffon tunic draped in crystal, and
wore red roses at her waist and in her
hair.
On the back of the Loveland pro-
grams last night Miss Jean Parkhurstl
made an ann ouncement of the highest
interest to Topeka music lovers A s
series of concerts known as the Park s
hurst Concert Series is to be given
under her personal direction next sea- i
son at the Grand opera house. These i
concerts will be given Tuesday after !
moons between 4 and 6 and will in
clude not only the worlds greatest Z
singers and pianists, but Mischa Ell
man, a queer young chap who han
dies his violin like d wizard. and AIDE 5
line Genee, who might dance upon egg I
shells, so light are her steps Follow

gram Miss Parkhurst has arranged: | 7
