"Letters Of commendation, says
the Sunday Portland Oregonian, car.
rive concerning the success of the re-
cent concert Of the Salem symphony
orchestra, John R. Sites, director.
Mrs. Jane Burns Albert, soprano, was
vocal soloist. and a Salem correspond
ent writes: 1t was appropriate that
the vocal soloist-Mrs. Jane Burns Al
bert--should have been gOwncd in rose
tinted satin and should carry a clus-
ter Of roses-white, blush-pink and
passionate crimson. To most winsome
stage presence and voice of flute
purity and flexibility she adds the sub
lie quality Of soulfulneSs that makes
her renditions go home to her listen
ers. She expressed herself most ex'
quisitely, perhaps, in the little aria
The Star by Rogers, and most be-
witchingly in Butterflies by Letter.
She was called to the stage again and
again by insistent encores'" "
Among the many parties given by

most successful was the masquerade

On arriving the guests were seated in
two rooms tastefully decorated with
red and white. Here an amusing time
followed, as each guest tried to discov'
er anothors identity. The costumes
were botlusattraetiNe and original.
Games and dancing were then enjoyed,
after which the hostess served a de-
lightful luncheon.
