-FEOTOTE ' New Artists Star in Beethoven Program A remarkable Beethoven program was produced yesterday afternoon at the Schmoller-Mueller auditorium be fore 250 members and friends of the »tindeo Woman's club. The concert, which was under the direction of Mrs. Willis J. Redfield, carried out the idea of s. comparison between Beet hoven and Hhakespare. It seemed peculiarly well timed In relation to the presence In Omaha of a Shakespearian company and the approaching concert of a celebrated Beethoven conductor, Henry Verbruggen, leader of the Minneapolls_t?y inphony. Two newcomers in the Omaha musi cal world. Mrs. Karl Robert' Wern dorff of Council Bluffs, pianist, and Warren Watters, baritone, recently arrived from New York city, were featured in the program. Mrs. Werndoviff, who carried the brunt of the rather ambitious pro gram, appearing both as soloist and ac companist, distinguished herself by a masterly and dramatic rendition of first and second movements from the D minor sonata opus 31, No. 2. When asked what the storm of harmony in this sonata meant, Beethoven replied, Read Shakespeare's 'The Tempest.’ " The largo from the D major sonata, which Mrs. AYerndorfT Interpolated between the first ami second move ments of the I) minor number, was given with profound feeling and a significant contrast of upsurging de termination and wistful questioning. This movement was inspired by Ham let's soliloquy, "To Be or Not to Be." The third movement from the F Major sonata, opus 10, ?,'o. 2. which has been likened to a Puckish scene from "Midsummer Night's Dream," was pleasingly given by Mrs. Madge West Sutphen, violinist, accompanied by Mrs. Werndorff. An understanding and muslclan iike interpretation of two songs, "Adelaide," and “Creation's Hymn,” was given by Mr. Watters, to whom was entrusted the final musical num bers of the program. Mr. Watters compared the first song to "a rich lapestry of soul colors,” while the second he declared as "built four square and colossal, like' the Great Pyramid.” Three lighter songs were uing early In the program by Mrs. Margaret Graham Ames, whose work like that of Mrs. Sutphen Is so weli ‘.nown in Omaha as to requlr(| little •omment. These numbers were "Ich l.lebe Dlch,” "Dry Them Not,” and "Mit Elnem Gemalten Band.” A thoughtful and beautifully writ ten paper by Mrs. Redfield, "Beet hoven Compared with Shakespeare," opened the recital. As leader of the irogram, Mrs. Redfield also Intro duced each number with a brief in rpretatton of its meaning and slg Iffcance. Two papers on "Ths Tem 1 cst,” by Mrs. H. C. Wagner and Mrs. Fred Elliott brought the some hat lengthy program to a close. George Crook W. R. C. The George Crook Woman's Relief ■ orpe. No. 88, will bold a kensington Friday at 10 with Mm.

Mother Graham gave a quick look at me, then her gaze traveled to Gil lian. "You think, then,” she said, fol lowing Mrs. Underwood's last com ment, that Harriet is trying to fill Elizabeth's place with the children?” "Can there be a doub( of'it?” Gil lian asked quietly, and this time when tier eyes caught mine, we simultane ously turned th^ni away. I knew the reason fur that averted gaze, knew that the same thought hart come to both of us, a thought that seemed treachery to my dead sister-in-law. But there was no blinking the fact that Harriet Bralthwaite, if she would let herself go, wrtuld be a far better mother to the orphaned Harrison children than her sister ever had been. They would know more love and ten der, unselfish care in one week of their aunt's regime, than a year of their own mother's. But we could not say that, or betrey even our thought, before the bereaved old mother who lay looking up at us, although I guessed that much of her sorrow lay in the fact that she had long ago learned her younger daughter's short comings, and had not given her the same Intense love which she. had be stowed upon Harriet and Dicky.-There is no grief so poignant as that which is threaded with remorse, even though the one bereaved has full justification for all past actions and reactions. Something to Discuss. There was something other than grief and remorse, however. In the shrewd old eyes looking keenly at Lillian and me, "No, there can be no doubt liar riet Is doing her best,” Harriet's mother said slowly at last, ‘‘but there's something about this thing which I want to discuss with you girls, something we've got to do as soon as they all get here. Ifut that will wait a few minutes. What did you find out about Katie, Margaret?” I debated with myself an Instant, and then decided It might divert her mind to tell her the truth. “I found her in the haymow with her apron over her head, bemoaning •the fact that you were going to die because you splk so kind by her.'" For several seconds my mother-in law lay stolidly silent, her face a sour mask, and I wondered If I had made a mistake. Then her Ups twitched Into a sardonic little smile. ''She’ll probably .bemoan the fact that I haven’t died before I get through with her," she said grimly, but there was that In her eyes which told me that she would not soon for ger. Katie’s solicitude for her. “Well! Am I going to get up?” This was her next question, and I promptly knelt at the side of her bad and took up the fresh stockings I had laid out to warm. t "Put one foot out at a time,” 1 suggested, ‘‘and I’ll draw these on for you.” Set Against Doing a Thing. ''I'm not a baby,” she protected, but I saw that the attention pleased her nevertheless, and with Lillian's aid, I swiftly dressed her and estab lished her In an easy chair by the fire, “There, this Is much better.” She drew a long breath of sarsfactlon. "It takes all the tucker right out of me to lie in bed. I haven’t tbs strength of a klttpn Just now. but after I sit up and move about a bit I'll feel b^ter.

She closed her eyes and rested her head against the chair back with a face so colorless that I glanced at Lillian in alarm. But she gestured reassuringly, and in a few aeconds my mother-in-law drew a deep brroth and opening her eyes began to speak, slowly, but Indislvely. % "There's a streak In the Grahams," she said, "that’s always set against doing a thing when it's exported of 'em. The children's father was like that, and Richard and Harriet are Just like him in it.” . I was afraid to look at Lillian. My mother-in-law, who of course, was not a Graham, was a living exempli fication of the quality she had just described, but she evidently had no inkling of the fact that I often used upon her the time-worn expedient of "Paddy, go to Cork." "Now, of course, you know as well as I do," my mother-in-law went on. "that It will he the salvation of Ed win aud Harriet to have those chil dren, hut we’ve got to make Harriet believe between us that we don't think it wise for her to have them." tCops-rlght, 3 924. t Speech Department, O.
