Oregon's remarkable little blind songstress, won new laurels for herself when she sung on the opening night of the meet ing of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, Just closed in Salem. Her audi ence was a most representative one. composed of hundreds of clubwomen irom all over the state and their hus bands, families and friends. Miss FJower was down on the nro- gramme for the big aria. "Caro Nome," from the opera "Rigoletto." but the audience would not be satisfied until she had returned and consented to sing several other numbers. It is seldom that anv vnrnlisf li i been received with so great a demon stration, the legislative hall rf th State Capitol building certainly never recoraing so enthusiastic an occasion. The clubwomen at Portland were par ticularly pleased with Miss Flower's work. Miss Flower is always a favnritn with local audiences, her formal Dre- sentation recital in June of this year being one of the notable musical events of the year in Salem. She has also sung with much success in concert in ureatD Jiiy. Albany, Woodburn Dayton and other places in the state. Tone and Expression Delicate. Her voice is a soprano of marked sweetness and delicacy of tone and ex pression. Whether in the big numbers from the operas or in the simpler ueari songs, tne nute-IiKe tones an: sustained throughout, her singing, like wise, being characterized by the most exquisite diction. Probably no one nas sung tne songs by Carrie Jacobs Bond more . artistically and. hearing her in these compositions, one might conclude .that the well-known Amer ican song writer was a favorite witn Miss Flower, but when she was asked about This recently she replied: "Why, no, I don't believe 1 really have any favorite, although of course some songs appeal to me a great deal more than others. There are, for instance, the little luiiaDys and songs like them that are like dear personal friends to me." She was also asked to describe her sensations when appearing before a large audience. "Well," she mused. "I have a feeling that is almost in describaole, a feeling of exaltation. J feel that everyone present is my friend and that all are anxious that 1 do my best. I feel their love and sympathy and sometimes it seems that I cannot wait to begin my songs, I am so happy." Miss Flower Sigrhtlesa Sliiee Babe. Miss Flower is just out of her teens and has been sightless since she was three days old. She was left mother less when she vas 8, but the lack of mother love since that time has been made up as nearly as it possibly could by that cf hundreds of friends who have given her of their love and devo tion, which is, no doubt, responsible in a large measure for the development of the necessary attributes of a good voice. When she war a few years old she was placed in the Oregon State School for the Blind, in Salem, and from this institution she was later graduated. Books, however, never possessed the charm for her that music did and of tentimes the more adruous duties were slighted so that little verse could be brought into existence. A diary in Braille was kept of those happy days, which makes a consider able and readable volume. in it are recorded happenings on the tlrst day of school, as well as first impressions of newly-made friends, happenings in class, opinion of instructors and nu merous accounts of affairs of the heart. Heart of Visttora Always Won. Little Marguerite always was a fa vorite with her teachers, and her sun ny, lovable ways never failed to win for her a place in the hearts of all vis itors to the institution. Those whose duty it was to impart knowledge to her active little brain were kept busy reading fairy and folk stories to her and just as soon as she had mastered the raised characters on the miniature squares of thin cardboard she was reading for herself everything in the school libiary that had been trans lated Into this language. Among these books was Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper. ' which so delighted htr that she read and reread it and then, to express her pleasure, sat down and wrote in a la borious, childish scrawl to Americas great humorist, asking him to please write another book just like it. That was :'n June. 1904, and It was a long time before an -answer was re ceived, as Mr. Twain's mail at that time was being forwarded to Italy When the reply did come It said: "Dear Miss Marguerite: I will keep the matter in mind and bye and bye I bope I will see if I can manasre it. Truly yours. MARK TWAIN." v Letter la Treaanred. The letter is preserved as one of Miss Flower's choicest possessions and is kept along with letters and congratu latory messages from other friends all over the United States. Miss Flower always has had pro nounced likes ani--ciislikes concerning almost everything, including decided ideas about her wearing apparel. "I love to wear white, fluffy things," she says, "and if my dresses must be col ored I want them to be either pink, light blue, yellow or lavender." She has learned to appreciate color by having the color of natural things described to her and by being told of the color combinations to be found in the great out of doors. Her artistic sense has been in this way developed to a great degree and she is as sensi tive about the harnioniousness of hen frocks and hats with her own coloring of brown hair, fair skin and blue eyes as is the girl who is blessed with sight. Flowers give her the most exquisite happiness and in Oregon's wonderful rose gardens and midst its luxuriant profusion of almost every other kind of blossom she has plenty of material to satisfy this love. She can name al most every flower instantly by it3 smell and will tell one whether a rose ' is a red, pink, white or yellow one. Asked how eh; does it, she explains: jvaee, nuiiieway, ieei so warm and velvety, while the white ones have a cold and smoother texture, the others graduating between." Children Have Place In Affection. Children also occupy a large place in her affections and last Summer, when the city was looking for a com petent story teller for the public play grounds, she was selected, the choice proving a most happy one. Hundreds of wide and sparkling eyes never left the face of the little ligure in their midst a child herself who recounted for them wonderful tales, bringing to them, as few were able to do, scenes and events which belong to that realm where grownups have no place. Like all who are deprived of sight, her memory is remarkably clear, so that once something is explained to her she rarely forgets it. Her method ot learning songs is Interesting. Four lines of a stanza are read to her by her instructor, the singer repeating them over after her until the complete selec tion is memorized, short songs usually requiring only 10 minutes. Tone placement, breathing and the shaping of the mouth are explained by having the pupil place her hand over the mouth and chest of her instructor. Miss Flower's musical education ha3 been painstakingly perfected by Miss Minnetta. Magers. Languages, musical history and musical literature have been given her the same as to any other vocal student. The woman who has undertaken this task has devoted years of untiring and unvariable attention to her protege, her work paralleling in a manner that of Miss Macy for Miss Helen Keller. Personality la Winsome. We all could learn much that is worth while about cheerfulness and the "wholesorre life" from this little op timist, whose soul is so attuned to the infinite that even the harsh noises of the city are to her major melodies and the ch inging scenes are living, pulsat ing poems direct from God's own hand. With an appealing, winsome person ality, temperament and attractive per-, son, brains and a refreshingly beautif ful voice, everything in fact that is desirable tut sight, the people of Sa lem, who are, of course, the ones who love her best, are predicting great things tor this little songstress, for she has said in one of her own bits of verse: There is a work for every hand. For every loving heart. And all who will may understand Their own especial part. And her "own especial part" seems to be to charm with her voice and in spire with a contagious optimism that is peculiarly her own. SCHOOL HOLDS EXHIBIT Glencoe Pupils Put Various Kancy Articles on Preliminary Show Preparatory to the general exhibit at the Library Glencoe School held its exhibit in the auditorium October 20. A varied and interesting collection of pets, toys, fancy work and cooking waa shown, along with several simple pieces of furniture. The exhibit was visited largely by both patrons and pupils. At the next meeting of the Parent- Teacher Circle a demonstration of chil dren's plays will be given under the direction of Miss Degermark, one of the playground instructors. She will take pupils from this school, and, while instructing them, will explain to the audience the value of the plays to the embryo citizen.
