PIPE AND TARTAN THERE Hall, Seventh and Stark streets, and the next meeting1, which -will be February 9, will be held at that place- A German play will be given on that occasion. Sweet Old Songs of Scotland Arc Sung on' the One Hundred and Forty - Seventh Year of the Poet's Birth. HcN ha'e misfortune sreat an' sraa. But aye a heart aboon them a; He'll be a credit tae us a. We'll a be prood o Robin. It was 147 years yesterday since .Robert Burns first saw the light of day, and there was not a Scotchman far or near who did not remember the fact and do honor to the bard of Scotland by some litting celebration. The brawny sons of Clan Macleay sounded their pibroch early in the week, and when the evening of the celebration rolled around every member was on hand with his lassie to listen to the sweet songs of Bobbie Burns and to dance to the inspiring pipe music of Major MacDonald. It was the 13th annual concert given by this clan and the programme eclipsed anything yet prescnt td on such an occasion. Tartan and Pipes. The Macleay tartan was much in evi dence, and the piper and dancers were drustsod in full highland costume. The hall was elaborately decorated with the Hags of- the British Empire, Scotland's beautiful yellow banner being pre-eminent- There was not even standing-room for the immense crowd which thronged Arlon Hall, and many were forced to take tholr chances of hearlncr the music" in tho outside hall. Clan Macleay proved Itself a popular organization and is much to be congratulated on the perfect arrange ments planned and carried out by a com mittee composed of James Cormack, chairman, F. N. Alexander, K. K. Bax ter, A. G. Brown, G. J. Cameron. J. Dick son, D. G. Duncan. D. A- Milne, J. A. Paterson. A- G. Riddoll. The floor com mittee consisted of James Shearer, T. B. Sponce and J. L. Quinn. Sweet Old Scotch Tunes. The programme had much to commend it. a number of the selections-being un usually artistic. Mrs. Walter Reed. Ar thur Alexander, Miss Kathleen Lttwlcr and J. A. Bpping were the soloists, and their singing of the sweet old 9cotch tunes was delightful beyond expression. The Scotch residents of Portland seem to think that no local singer can render the Scotch music so perfectly as Mrs. Reed, her pure round tones and simple manner harmdnizing wonderfully with the qsaint tunes and words. Her duet with Mr. Al exander "O. Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast" was a musical gem which few au diences have the fortune of hearing. Both were in splendid voice, and Mr. Alexan der's playing of the accompaniment but added to the charm of Mendelssohn's rare music. Treble Clef Club's Encores. The Treble Clef Club, under the direc tion of Mrs. Rood, sang "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," and "Robin Adair," hav ing to respond again and again to encores. This club was a revelation to those who had not heard It before, and can be ranked as one of the best vocal organiza tions in Portland. The handsome gowns worn by its members added much to the effectiveness of the pretty group of young women. The club is composed of Miss Ethel I-ytle, Mrs. Jordan Purvinc, Miss Kathleen Lawler. Mrs. Sanderson Reod. Miss Hilda Hegele. Mrs. J. E. Howard, Miss Ethel Powers. Miss Delta Watson. Mrs. Ernest L&idlaw, Mrs. Byron E. Mil ler. Miss Evelyn Hurley. Mrs. William C. Holinan, Miss Edna Gates, Mrs. Lulu Mil ler, Miss Ethel Shea and Mrs. Walter Reed, director. The Macleay Glee Club made its first appearance, and, under the direction of J. Adrian Epplng. sang the Saotch songs In a most acceptable manner. Clansman John P. Robertson varied the programme with some fine Scotch dances. Including the famous sword dance and the sailors' hornpipe. Burns Oration Omitted. The Burns oration, which it has been customary to present on this annlvorsary was omitted this year, and the time given to his songs. John A. Peterson, chief of Clan Macleay, made brief Introductory remarks, and started the music without delay, so that plenty of time would be left for dancing at Its conclusion. On the platform with the chief wore: James Laidlaw. British Consul: A. H. Birrell president of St. Andrew's Society R. M Blackwood, of the British Benevolent Sol clety: A. T. Smith, of the Caledonian So ciety, and A. G. Brown, past chief of Clan Macleay. ITS MXTJl ANNIVERSARY S OBSERVED. AT THE THEATERS What the Pre Agents Say. Jtcniiniscenecs Are Related and An swers to Questions, Some Face tious, Others Serious, Read. The Women's Club celebrated its ninth anniversary yesterday afternoon by devot ing the principal part of the programme to a paper on the history of the organization This was read by Mrs. Sarah Evans and proved to be filled with deeply interesting reminiscences. Mrs. Evans was one of the charter members, and at one time presi dent of the club, and was peculiarly well qualified to fill tho temporary office of historian. Several letters from absent members were read, adding to the general interest felt in the club circle. Mrs. Grimes read tho many answers which were written by members in reply to the question. "How Best to Promote the Welfare of the Club." and It was found that many freolv wnrosswi opinions Jn this manner who had not the courage to speak out "in open meeting." One writer facetiously suggested that uie ciud aevoio less time to talking and more to real work. Another that more logic and sound sense mark the delibera tions and actions of the bodw On an was intrepid enough to write that tho ciud snouia not attempt to discuss mat trs which It knew nothlnc ahnnt an that strict parliamentary law Khntiiri k observed, while the next one declared that more common sense and less parliamen tary law should be the order. A number of the written answers, hmww -awn on tho basis of practicable advancement ana improvement, ana were well received Waldemar Lind. violinist, was the mu sician of the day. Mr. Lind, who is s second cousin oi Vic famous vocalist, Jcn ny Llnd, plays exquisitely, and his pro gramme was praised enthusiastically. Mrs W. E. Thomas accompanied him, the nunv 7rnri -hplnir Drd'a's "Sp.rennrlft " Knt-asntn, "Gipsy Dances," and "Humoreske," by Dvorak.
