Birthday Surprise.

A jolly crowd of nelghbors and
friends gathered at the home of Mrs.
r. P. Watkins, on Beach street, Fri
day night, it being the occasion of
the lady's birthday. The affair was
planned by Mesdames Byron Watkins
and Swan of Medford, and was kept
so secret that Mrs. w., senior, did not
have a suspicion of the surprise in
store for her until on her return at
1880 p. m, from a visit with a friend
on Scenic Drive, she found her home
taken possession of by a number of
her friends. The evening passed
very quickly with old-fashioned
games and several humorous read
ings by Mr.. Gilmore, after which de-
licious refreshments of ice cream, cof-
fee and cake were served. Following
this, Mrs. Watkins received a number
of packages, which upon opening she
found to contain dainty little tokens
of love and esteem.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
George Carpenter, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. X.
McClaren, Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Walker,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. e. Crowson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Caliph, Mr.. and Mrs. o. E.

now henceforth will be their home.
The hall should prove a better loca-
tion than Ivy Cottage in some ways,
since the wonderful view obtained
from the cottage verandas, in the
minds of the short-winded at least, is
more than offset in the two blocks
of hard climb necessary to reach the
elevated site. The new home will be
more spacious and the hall gives
rooms for dances and the class work
of the club. The gymnasium and
chorus classes will hereafter be ac-
commodated in the club quarters.
c. B. Watson will move into Ivy
Cottage, which has been leased from
him for the past year by the club
ladies. His sister, Mrs. Mary Smell
ing, will move from North Yakima,

High SChOolers
Stage Carmen

Between five and six hundred peo-
pie filled the auditorium at the high
school Friday evening and witnessed
Carmen" staged by the musical de-
partment of the high school under
the direction of Miss Harris. Bril-
liant costuming, elaborate stage set
tings, excellent eating and creditable
music, both solo work and chorus,
made the entertainment a most en-
joyable and successful one.
The staging of an opera as difficult
as Carmen" is big proposition for
a high school of the size of Ashland
high, and the results obtained speak
very highly both of the direction of
Miss Harris and the enthusiasm and
ability of the participants,
Miss Alice Beecroft showed marked
ability in her Interpretation of Car
men, most difficult role She was
by far the strongest character in the
opera. Merrill Throne as Don Jose
was also excellent, and the final
scene, the most difficult of the whole
opera, was staged with most realistic
action on the past of these two. Ell
wood Hedberg as Escamillo and Pris-
ella Carnahan as Micaela pleased
greatly with their singing. To give
each of the minor characters the
praise which is due them would re-
uuire much more space than is avail
able. The choruses, which in all in
cluded over fifty voices, we're well
trained and handled the difficult mu-
sic of the opera with precision which
spoke of long hours of hard work
The orchestra ! accompaniment was
good, as we're the selections played
between the acts by the high school
orchestra. The scenery for the sew
eral stage settings we're made by the
manual training department and
painted by the art department stu
dents.
Superintendent Brscoe in few
words before the rising of the cur
tain stated that all Of the work on
the opera had been done outside of
school hours, and that to the best of
his knowledge the school work of
none of the participants had suffered.
He highly complimented Miss Harris
on her accomplishment.
