BELLINGHAM NOTES
Bellingham, Wash.—The recent music calendar has been filled by local artists. One of the most delightful was a song recital by Marion Charlotte Gilroy, soprano, who was presented by her teacher, H. Goodell Boucher at the Garden Street M. E. Church, where Miss Gilroy has been soloist for about two years. Four numbers were sung in Italian and the excellence of her diction, both English and Italian, was noticeable. The large audience expressed its appreciation by demanding many encores, though the artist only responded with one at the end of the program. Charles Bowen was an able accompanist, and added two groups of piano solos, one was his own composition.	.	, .	. t, 1
Mr. and Mrs. Boucher will spend this summer in Italy.
