DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2ft, 1012.
Tae Thro
A Quiet week has followed the well
Tlllod calendar of the past month. It
Id noticeable that the first days ot
the rainy season spread a quietus
over society affairs, but later In
the winter conditions of weather have
no influence whatever uion the ar
rangements of a hoHtess in regard to
matters social.
An audlenjce most complimentary
In numbers and enthusiastic In
praise, greeter Miss Frances Pelton
Jones last Saturday night when she
presented her harpsichord recital at
the Grand opera house, assisted by
Mr. William Edwin Chamberlain. The

pearing in full evening dress.
The crowded house represented
Miss Jones' old time friends, In great
numbers, muslo lovers, pleasure
seekers and very many Salem people
who rarely attend entertainments
given In play houses. All of this
must have been very gratifying to
this noted artist, who was once a res
ident of this rapldly-growlng.city. It
-would be Impossible to name all of
the prominent people of society and
muslo circles who enjoyed the privi
lege of hearing Miss Jones play her
exquisite harpsichord music, and of
listening to Mr. William Edwin Cham
berlaln sing so beautifully his groups
of old time songs.

tertalning reading for Miss Conever's
many friends In this city. Accom
panying the letter were a number of
fine photographic views of Miss Hel
en Gould's summer home at Klrkslde
Roxbu,ry in the Catskllls. To this
beautiful place Miss Gould Invites
many young women to occupy her
cottages for the summer. Miss Con
over . was Miss Gould's house guest
for a few days and continued the
month's visit as cottage guest.
It Is at Doctor W. W. White's col
lege for advanced Bible study, In
New York City, that Miss Conover Is
enrolled as a student, with about one
hundred others who are taking ad
vantage of Instruction from the finest
teachers, who have made this Insti
tution for the preparation of Chris
tian work, one of the best known,
Roxbury-In-The Catskllls.
"Some one said Roxbury was
Paradise Lost. True, it is a bit of
Paradise which has been lost be
cause most people are sa Intent upon
other things, but to the seeker after
rest and beauty, whose heart longs
for the satisfying Joy which comes
only when we get close to nature In
Gold's great ouf-of-doors, Roxbury Is
Interesting not only because of the
beauty of location, but because it
has given to the world two great
men, of entirely different types, Jay
Gould, one of the world's greatest
financiers, and John Burroughs, the
well-known naturalist and author.
For several months during the
summer, Miss Helen Gould makes
Roxbury her home. And It was be
cause ot MIbs Gould's kindness that
the Oregon girl had this glimpse of
Paradise. The white house nestling
among the green trees seems to ex
tend to all who enter its portals rest
and refreshment. The veranda at
the back of the house Is shaded by
a curtain of Virginia creeper, which
now Ib a brilliant red, The lawn Ib
beautiful, with Its dark green shrub'
bery and enticing walks. At the first
opportunity you fallow one of these
walks and presently you find your
self In the prettiest little park that
you could ever imagine! Nothing
could be more restful than the
smooth green lawns, and one is
tempted to linger by the little stream
to watch the graceful awans. Or If
you desire less stately company, you
might rest by the duck pond. Flat
tered by your attention, the ducks
vie with each other to give you all
the gossip of their realm. And not
only that, but they perform the most
remarkable feats of diving, etc., that
no swan could possibly do. If, when
you first sat down to watch the
ducks, you were afflicted by thnt mal
ady called the "blues," every vestige
of the disease Is gone when you re
sume your walk across the rustic
bridge, with the bright red Virginia
creeper climbing over It. Climbing
the steps, you are partly up the hill.
Here a rustic seat Invites yoi to
rest, and you look back over the way
you have came and across the nar
row valley to the mountains oppo
site. The mountain Is covered with
trees and some are already arrayed
In their brilliant autumn foliage.
Looking up the valley, we see the
farms 'tilted up against the sides of
the mountains,' as Jctin Burroughs
describes' It. From this chnrmlng
viewpoint our path lends us through
the woods and up the hill. All about
us Is the natural beauty of the for
estthe ferns and the flowers and
the chipmunks all the eights and
sounds so dear to the eart ci the
lover of nature.
"And now, perhaps, you would like
to know about the little gray stone
church, which has been given the
name 'Kirkslde' to Miss Gould's
hrtme. It is the Jay Gould memorial
church, erected In honor of their fa
ther and mother by the Gould chil
dren. It nestles close in the valley
at the foot of the mountain. It Is
ivy-clad and stands in the center of
a green lawn, and here and there,
against the background of trees and
shrubbery ,are immense hydrangea
bushes, bending gracefully with their
burden of bloom. Up In the tower
of the church, eighty feet high. Is a
bell on which are the words, 'Peace
on earth, good will to men,' and this
Is the message that peals forth on
the clear -air every . Sabbath morn
ing. It Is In this spirit that the vil
lage people gather for worship. As
we enter the church and are seated,
we raise our eyes to the face of the
risen Christ In a beautiful Tiffany
window. On one sloe .is tne angei
of the tomb, on the other side Mary
kneels among the lilies of the gar
den, with a look of rapture on her
face bb she recognizes her risen Lord
and Master. And then, In soft, full
tones, we hear the organ singing.
'Praise God, from whom all blessings
flow" It seems that every heart and
voice must Join In the song of praise
to the Bountiful Giver of all good
For a moment the rich and the poor
are one, as the Incense of prayer
and praise ascends to the God and
Father of all.
"As a guest at River Cottage, MIbs
Gould's guest cottage, the Oregon
girl spent one of the happiest months
of her life.
"The queen of this little fairy land

her power with such gentleness, al
ways thinking of those upon whom
she would bestow happiness. And

MUSICAL NOTES
(Continued on Page J.)
A dainty replica of a Louis XVI
stage setting, with tapestries and fur-
uliililngs, lull candlestick mid enn-
delelira with delicate firecu tapers,
antliiie Jar with immense cluster of
splendid pink roses and most Inter
esting of all, a predecessor of the
piano, the harpsichord. All Uils. with
a background rf palms, greeted (lie
eyes of the audience as they entered
the Grand opera house Saturday ev
onlng, to enjoy the most unusual
privilege of hearing a harpsichord
recital by Miss Frances Pelton
Jones, one of the few artists who has
devoted herself to tho study of the
clavichord and harpsichord nml who
enjoys the reputation of being a won
derful performer upon these Instruments.
Hor beautiful gown wits of light
blue Bilk with Wattean plait and
graceful pannlors. A filmy scarf of
pale pink, her couffeur with Ita sido
curls and golden band, and the little
nosegay she carried completed a cob
tume both artistic and charming.
William Edwin Chamberlain, her
assisting soloist, was also In garb ot
the same period, wearing black satin
coat with touches of Jet trimming,
lace neck and sleeve frills, black sat
in knee pants with side buckles of
Jet and long silk hose and pumps of
black. The peruke was white, cor
rectly powdered and tied.
The harpBlchard was an exact re
plica of an original instrument; the
plectrum clectur variety, and the
best of Its kind In form, It Is simi
lar to the baby grand piano. Its
outer frame Is a deep green, paneled
with gilt bands, Its raised cover dis
closing a peculiar pink which
matched in color tho music rack.
There are two key boards and six
combination pedals. The tiny wire
strings are not struck with ham
mers, hut plucked with curved quills
which produce a sound not unlike
that of the mandolin, although much
purer and sweeter.
Miss Jones' touch Ib exquisite. An
introduction to this style of rare mu
sic was charmingly given In explnn
atarv remarks before opening the
program.
It would be Impossible to describe
the purity and delicacy of the harp
slchord tones. Not a note escaped
an ear in the Immense, silent audi
ence, while Miss Pelton-.Tones drew
from the quaint Instrument tender
melodies of the centuries past.
She was characteristically graceful
in all her movements and speeches
A nroeram of rare charm had been
chosen and was played with inter
nretatlon and finish of an artist. An
ovation, spontaneous and rapturous,
waB accorded this gafted performer,
whose ability was directed by In
structlons from Arnold Dolmetsch
the greatest musical antiquarian
During the recital an old fashioned
arraneement of beautiful flowers. In
the stiff pyramid stylo of years ago
.and circled with the protecting hold
er, was a dainty compllmeflt sent to
the stage for Miss Jones.
Mr. Chamberlain's baritone voice Is
remarkably musical, of robust .qual
ity and perfect Intonation. Ills
groups of songs were delightfully en
tertaining and most enthusiastically
received.
