That La Grande gets the opportunity

is remarkable when it is remembered
that the royalty of Europe and the
continent have heard and praised her,
tnat tne largest cities of the United
.States, Australia and where not have
been on this young star s tinerary.
Reaching at random into a stack of
animated praises, one finds this from
a Boston paper:
"Miss Felice Lyne of Kansas City
has been hailed in London as another
Patti. The press is enthusiastic over
her appearances at Hammer-stein's
new opera house.
She made here second appearance
this week as Gilda in the new opera
house. Every seat was taken. Many
were turned away. The great audi
ence greeted her with an ovation and
the applause was frequent.
There were many prominent peo
ple in the boxes. The exiled King of
Portugal, Manuel, and all the leaders
of London society, with Mme. Albanl
and other famous artists were pres
ent. Miss Lyno had many recalls.
She is 21 years old. Of hor the

Delicious refreshments were served,
and the color scheme at the Byrkitt

the hostess overlooked nothing that
would add to the pleasure of her
guests. Mrs. C. D. Putnam will en
tertain the club at its next meeting.

its organization is based on inflexible
rules regarding prizes to be awarded,

found that these rules do not detract
from the intense interest in each and
every meeting. A week ago Thurs
day the ladies met with Mrs. F. L.
Lilly and a very, pleasant afternoon
was enjoyed at 'auction bridge, the
game adopted' by the club when it was
organized. The Lilly home was taste
fully decorated and the whole scheme
was in yellow. Refreshments were
nerved on tables decorated with hand
some mirrors in the center upon which
rested bouquets of yellow flowers. All
place cards carried a proper decora
tion. Following the card games the
grafonola was pressed into service
and the afternoon closed with exquis

On Thursday of this week, the Un
lucky Thlrteeners met with Mrs. Guy
small folders containing the pictures
of Miss Ramsdale and Mr. William
son. Covers were laid for eight and
those enjoying Mrs. Girdler's hospi
tality were the Misses Lucile Rams

Jones, Stella Hunter, Margaret Anson
and Stella Oliver. Miss Ramsdale is
connected with the school faculty and
Mr. Williamson is one of La Grande's
foremost bachelors, being at present

appreciation.
