ing Brodie Of Portland were contralto
soloists; Miss Carrie e. Alton of Port
land, violinist; Miss Gesner of Port
land, pianist, and Mrs. William II.
Burghardt, Jr, Of Salem, pianist.
Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Brodie are
gifted with contralto voices Of rare
quality and their songs were most
heartily received and encores demand
ed. Especially beautiful were Mrs.
Brodie's "Ye Powers That Dwell Be
low" and Mrs. Lawrences "Alla Stel-
la Confidant," each given with artistic
finish and splendid Interpretation. In
a duet closing the programmed num-
bers, the full rich voices, sweet and
true, were beautifully and perfectly
blended. The applause was most en-
phatic. Mrs Brodie studied for two
years in New York City with F. X.
Arens, and Mrs. Lewrence obtained
much OF her musical education in San
Francisco, where most of her profess
sional work was done. Mr.. Arens ex-
tended to these splendid contraltos
praise for their beautiful duet work in
90 That We Two Were Maying."

chiffon cloth over a darker shade of
velvet under dress, with velvet trim
mings and oorsage of roses, lilies Of
the valley and violets. The hair orna-
ment a golden butterfly set with gems,
And pale blue charmeuse with fringe
of gold and skirt drapery ornamented
with a golden motif. A broad, metal
gauze band with aigrette confined the
hair

ment gave most delightful pleasure.
Her music causing enthusiastic ap-
plause. In the first group "Tambour-
inc" was an exquisite number splen-
didly played. "The Devils Trill," a
most difficult selection displayed a
combination of natural talent and eX-
cellent training. Miss Atoms deli
cate obligato for "Alla Stella Conf
dant," was faultless. Assisting with
with the program, Mrs. William Burg
hardt, Jr., and Miss Gesner accom-
PANEL in manner necessary for per-
feet work. Mrs. Burghardt's gown
was Of black charmeuse relieved with
broad collar Of beautiful lace and
corsage of scarlet carnations. Miss
Gesner wore a simple gown Of blue
silk.
