The quarters, which -were furnished and arranged at a cost of more than $2500, consist of a large reading and lounging room in which banquets and other entertainments can be staged, a billiard room and kitchen. All are finely furnished and the club members were congratulated last night by their guests upon having hav-ing realized their desire for an attractive at-tractive and comfortable place to pass a portion of their leisure hours. Nearly three hundred residents of Ogden and a number from Salt Lake City and other towns attending the formal opening and were welcomed by the officers of the lodge and their ladies, who formed a receiving line from the top of the main stairway to the main lodge room and auditorium of the temple, where the musical program pro-gram was held. The room was specially spe-cially decorated for the occasion with baskets of vari-colored chrysanthemums chrysanthe-mums and ferns and these added much beauty to its permanent decorations. Second only to the importance of the occasion was the personnel of the musical coterie that for an hour or more delighted the assembled guests and hosts with one of the most artistic artis-tic programs that has even been heard at a social, affair in Ogden. While the visiting members of the coterie, all residents of Salt Lake City, were given giv-en a full measure of appreciation for the entertainment they provided, the local people were particularly delighted de-lighted with the singing of Mrs. Fred N. Hess, the only Ogden member of the group. During a former residence here, Mrs. Hess established herself as Ogden's leading soprano and her three numbers, two encores, served to tell that her voice has lost none of its quality, range or power, but that she has added a finish to her man ner oi renomon inai even me most critical can appreciate. She sang three charming numbers, "A Little Song" (Voorhees), "Will o the Wisp" (Spross), and "The Swallows" (Bingham), (Bing-ham), being rewarded with enthusiastic enthusias-tic applause for each favor.

Worley, remembered locally as tenor soloist of the Ogden Taber-nacl Taber-nacl choir on its tour of California last year, displayed a dramatic tenor voice of great promise in a rendition of the aria "Celeste e Aida,' from the opera "Aida," and, as an encore, sang "Mother Machree" with fine expression. expres-sion. Another gifted artist, Miss Leola Schrack, contralto, also contributed a solo and encore, "Dennis" (Stewart), and "Madcap Margery" (Norton). They were charmingly sung, the singer sing-er displaying deep musical culture and a smooth tonal range. Will Langton, the well-known Salt Lake basso, gave a dramatic .rendition of "Invictus" (Huhn) and also responded to an encore. en-core. Owen Bartlett, a youthful violinist, contributed tho only instrumental solos, so-los, playing two selections and surprising sur-prising the auditors with a display of technique and rich tones, unusual in a musician of his years. Three ensemble en-semble numbers, opening and closing the program, were admirably played by a quartet composed of Owen Bartlett. Bart-lett. violinist; Joseph Clice, celloist; Will M. Davis, cornetist, and Mrs. George Skelton, pianist. The quartet quar-tet also assisted in a number featuring featur-ing cathedral chimes, pjayed by Mrs. Skelton on the piano, and "Abide With Me," sung by Mrs. Hess and Miss Schrack. The piano accompaniments were played by Mrs. Skelton, Mrs. A. H. Peabody and Mrs. W. L. Bojorques.
