a large heart, pierced by a gilded Cupid's
dart, and around It a shower of small
hearts entwined with smilax. The other
windows were similarly decorated. The
mantels were banked with evergreens
and growing ferns, peeping from which, in
pretty device, were appropriate mottoes.
In the entrance to the parlors, swung
white doves with extended wings, each
carrying a heart. Ribbons festooned from
the center to the cornice, finished the par
lors. The drawing-room was a cozy cor
ner, over which the soft light of a can
delabrum threw a rosy glow. Crimson
shades covered the incandescent lamps.
The souvenir dance programmes were in
the shape of hearts, tied with gold cord.
As in the decorations, the heart form was
repeated in the refreshments, in sand
wiches, ices, bon-bons, maccaroons, cakes
and. kisses. Each guest was presented
with a valentine.

in white crepe. Among those present were:

MinM Hioch's Success.
Miss Rosa Bloch's last appearance be
fore a Portland audience was on the oc
casion of one of Mr. J. Warren Andrews"
organ recitals at the First Baptist church,
a week ago, and her reception at that
time told better than words how her truly
wonderful voice is appreciated at home.
The audience was a critical one, for it
was made up of musical and muslc-lovlng
people who had assembled to pass upon
the new organ, and the stranger-artist,
Mr. Andrews. Miss Bloch's selections
were "The Pilgrim" (Adams) and "Glory
to Thee, O God" (Helmund), both of which
require vocal power and expression far
above the ordinary. But Miss Bloch made
a fine impression. While her numbers
were merely incidental to the display of
the organ, so distinct were they that at
the conclusion of each she received an
ovation that was most flattering to one
so young in art. That Miss Bloch is ap
preciated whtrever she goes, is apparent
from the flattering press notices she re
ceives. The following is clipped from a
Salem paper:
"Miss Rosa Bloch, of Portland, is an ar
tiste second to none who has sung to a
Salem audience within the memory of
the young people. With five years' study
in Vienna she shows it In every detail of
her work, from her simple and unassum
ing entrance, through all the technical
difficulties necessary to satisfy the critic
and yet reach the heart of the average
listener, by preserving a purity and qual
ity of tone, a fidelity to simple and natur
al methods, locking which no singer can
reach the heart and soul of an entire au
dience. Possessed with womanly grace
untainted by over-confidence, Miss Bloch
appeals to her listeners ere she has begun,
but when she has sung the last note of
'For all Eternity they are completely
won. 'The Gondoliers,' an aria from 'Les
Huguenots, and two encores were ap
plauded to the echo, and again on Tuesday
night at the opera-house in 'The Pilgrim
and 'The Magic Song.' Miss Bloch sang
with unusual success."
Entertainment lit Mount Tnlior.
A charming musical and literary enter
tainment was given at Oriental hall.
Mount Tabor, February 15, under the
auspices of the Mount Tabor Presbyterian
church. The many names on the pro
gramme promised a treat to concert-goers,
and the audience that crowded the hall
on Friday evening was not disappointed.
The concert was opened by Miss Angela
Legrand In a pretty piano solo. Miss Vir
ginia Goodwin, B. A., graduate of Boston
conservatory of oratory, read several se
lections, with her usual cleverness and
versatility. In Doctor Cumming, the
audience welcomed a favorite, and all his
numbers were rendered in his usual fault
less manner. Miss Hallie Shortell's read
ing, "Alaska," was well received. Mr.
Mark Gill closed the first part of the pro
gramme, with Paul Rodney's song, "Time
and Tide." The second part was opened
by Miss Maye Percy with the song, "Birds
In Springtime." Miss Alice Andrews
played very prettily a valse of Vollenhaupt.
Miss Bessie Biles sang with grace and
power. Miss Susie Moreland Gill closed
the programme with one of Chopin's most
difficult ethudes. Her tecnlque Is very
fine, and the applause which followed her
efforts was enthusiastic and prolonged.
