In the library were clusters of mountain ash, while the walls were hung with long traceries of holly. The mantel served to display the floral offerings to the debutante. One bouquet was entirely of fragrant double Parma violets, another was of violets and white hyacinths, a third was of deep red poinzettas," a fourth was of dainty rosebuds, while a fifth was of delicately with carnations, lilies of the valley and sweet violets.

Long before the appointed hour the rooms were filled to overflowing, and hun dreds were unable to gain admittance. A choice musical and literary programme held the attention and interest of the audience until a late hour, every num ber receiving a hearty encore. Among those entitled to special mention is Miss Jennie A. George, who opened the enter tainment with a piano solo, a gavotte in F-sharp minor, by John Orth. Her se lections were enthusiastically received. Miss Helen M. Prentiss sang "The Crown of Life" in her usual pleasing manner. Miss May Percy rendered "In the Chim ney Corner" with telling- effect, while Miss Edna O. Oliver rendered two of the good old songs, "Far Away" and "I Remember, I Remember," accompanying herself on the auto-harp. Miss Annie Ditchburn re cited with her usual grace, and Mr. Frank Branch Riley delighted the audience with a scene from "Pickwick Papers." The Elite quartet, consisting of Professor N. E. Skinner, Edward Drake. Professor J. Adrian Epping and M. L. Bowman, was down on tne programme for one selection, but several encores were insisted on. Mr. Arthur P. Johnson sang "The Chalet Horn," with cornet obligato, by F. A. Seiberling, accompanied on the piano by Miss McKercher. The selection of the Venetian Mandolin Club, composed of M. H. Schmeer, F. C.

A., who, in a few well-chosen words, extended a cor dial invitation to all to tarry awhile and become acquainted one with the other. It was a happy ending to a very happy day at the Y. M. C. A. The Misses Failing's Afternoon, Tea. The Misses Falling gave an afternoon tea on New Year's day between the hours of 4 and 7, which was a very charming af fair. The house was adorned with ever greens and holiday decorations arranged with artistic taste. In the dinlng-rocm was a Ions table nmntu with hunches of chrysanthemums i and brilliant with holly berries. A soft light fell from tapers with golden shades, which added much beauty to the scene. This table was presided over by Mrs. Cabell: Mrs. Elliott, of Vancouver bar--? molv "f. TIT 'ir JnJ nv -rc. -1i!vJ ilton. In the library a table gaily embellished with chrysanthemums attracted much fa vorable comment. At either end sat Miss Schuyler and Miss Lucy Failing, "while at the side were Miss Constance Mont gomery and Miss Sallie Lewis, who served palatable lemonade and seasonable esg nogg. Soft music was furnished during the entire afternoon by the Spanish Students, who were stationed in the front drawing room. j A Dellsrlitful Musicnlc. A charming musldale was given Mon day evening before"; a number of guests at the residence ofMr. Henry L. Pittock. The participants were several pupils of Professor Motschmann and Professor Stebinger. The programme was made up of seven numbers, in the selection of which wide variety had been secured. The first number was a trio, Beethoven's "Third Symphony," rendered with excel lent effect by Miss Kate Pittock and Miss Louise Pittock at the piano, and Professor Stebinger on the violin. A violin solo, selection from "La Sonnambula," by Master Gustave Pfunder, followed. His performance was very creditable, and elicited much approbation, from the au ditors. Next was a vocal solo, the aria, "Ah! fors' e lin," from "La Traviata," by Miss Kate Pittock, accompanied by Professor Motschmann at the piano. The song was very charmingly rendered and was received with applause. She re sponded with the cadenza from "La Fille du Regiment." Number four on the programme was a violin solo by Master Leon Schuhl. It gave evidence of talent and of careful practice by the little fellow. A piano solo, Moszkowskl's "Valse Brlll iante," was rendered with much spirit by Miss Louise Pittock, and received an encore. Miss PIttock's performance showed that she possesses both correct muolcal perception and technical skill, and that she has taken full advantage of the excellent Instruction of her tutors. A violin duet by Professor Stebinger and Master Pfunder followed. The accom paniment on the piano was by Professor Motschmann. The number was rendered harmoniously, accurately and with ex pression, and was heartily applauded. Last came a vocal solo, "Dance of Joy," followed by the ballad, "Answer." by Miss Kate Pittock, with piano and violin accompaniment by Professors Motsch mann and Stebinger. Miss Pittock's voice, naturally sweet and melodious, showed wiJe range and genuine capabil ity for artistic expression, and, besides, it betrayed a degree of thorough cultiva tion. The programme, as a whole, was most satisfactorily rendered, and was fol lowed with close attention by the listen ers. The general expression was that it reflected much credit upon instructors" and pupils. After a time spent in conver sation, refreshments were served, and about 11 o'clock the party broke up.
