from whatever viewpoint cho-
MI sen, was the pivot around
which every interest revolved
during last week. The climax was
reached Saturday when the full beauty
of the two operas. Aida (Verdi) and La
Boheme PuccinD, filled the minds and
hearts of the big audiences at the
Pinney on Saturday afternoon and
evening. Earlier in the week Goddard
thrilled a sympathetic audience to It's
very center with his rich basso and
well chosen repertoire. 1t was week
of music, a rare, beautiful week, with

full. too. The matinee, theater par
ties, after the opera suppers here and
there, the early fashion show and the
first, sun flooded days of spring.
Truly a very delightful week. The
one regret was the departure of the
entire legislative set from the city.
But many OF them visit Boise now and
then and the friendships formed will
be renewed.
