Who Loves Huiic the Most? Oh, legal mind. Hit to thii ilander! A music lover, a concert and opera jtoer. dares lay that you art remiss in jrour attendance upon these feasti of sound which from time to time delight the hearts of Omaha' people. On the other hand, no such mali cious charge is brought against the physiciani of the community. Truth to tell they are applauded and com mended for their interest in art, mu sic and all that is esthetic. "It' not that the lawyer is of com moner clay," explained this Veen ob server, "but it seems to me the lame sensitiveness necessary for the luc cessful physician ii the one which attunes his spirit to the harmony of sound. Appreciation of music re quires a different equipment than fa miliarity with court room harangue." "But what proof have you? Does not the name of John Lee Webster stand foremost as a patron of art and music? And how about Howard Baldrige, Edgar Scott and F. A. Bro- gan. What can you oner as aeiense of your claim that an audience of music lovers contains a greater per centage of physicians than lawyers? J aWH. ' "Run your eyes along the list of opera or concert course subscriber! for any musical event: Dr. C. C. Alli son, Dr. B. B. Davis, Dr. A. F. Jonas. Ur. J. E. Summers, ur. naroia uii ford you will find them all. Then there are the physicians who are known to be passionately fond of mu sic, Dr. R. R. Hollister, Dr. G. Alex ander Young and Dr. A. D. Dunn, while at the Muratore-Cavalieri and r.illi.Curci concerts Dr. C. A. Hull, Dr. Charles O'Neill Rich, Dr. A. B. Snmtn and Dr. A. Ii. Hoffman were only a few more of the medical pro- freainn noted in the audience. "Cease your profuse enumeration! We admit itl we admit! We'll agree that the doctors are more apprecia tive and discriminate music loveri than most lawyeri." (Some day Mellificia is going to resume the debate and tell how the lawyers like John Lee Webster and Edgar H. Scott and others are the pitlarr of the Friends of Art, though, of course, we'll have to admit that Dr. Davis, Dr. Jonas and Dr. Clif ford do own some very fine paint ings, too. Events of the Day.

A richer pastry is often used for tarts, the upper crust of pies and for the famous French paitry. this last requires a masicr hand with much experience-experience gained only through patient la bor.
