"j SHORT time ago we red
I J I an article stating that mu
l 1 sicians were greatly m-
flU!ilM.I c'm.el ' overestimate
feyjyl their own importance,
ri T ii J .j- and mv work" was
Riven ss the excuse for a great deal of
ie unnappmess they bring upon
themselves through ultra-sensitive-iiess.
The article has been forgotten,
out the phrase "me and my work" im
pressed itself upon our memory, and
it has been interesting to try and trace
it -to a certain extent. "Me and my
work" are, of course, of the greatest
importance to oneself. If one is mar
ried, perhaps they are of half as much
importance to one's better half. To
the other members of the family, per
haps a fourth is a good average. Of
course, one's mother is interested in
"ne's success, but she is not nearly as
interested in the work as she is in
the person, and in the person because
he or she I elongs to her (and if one
of a large family, you are but a small
per cent ot her thoughts). Outside nf

tive. The mimr nf the miie!i.!n ex
cept when he plays for his friends, is
to them of absolutely no importance,
and they do not spend much of their
spare time thinking about it. To the
pupils it is only of importance when
they are taking their lessons or prac
ticing, and they do not spend much
time thinking about it after their regu
la. time is over. Out of sight, out of
mind, is the rule.
Musical -people often wonder how
certain effects they have gained and
which have taken them unlimited
hours and patience to accomplish, can
make so little impression even upon
' Iheir own musical friends. It often
does make an impression, but most
01 tne time the other musical friends
are also busy thinking about their own
work, themselves and their families
' and they soon forget the keenness of
t, Decause they do not have time to

who has spent so much effort in gain
mi it. And the music of the most tal
ented musician makes the very slight
est impression upon his unmusical
inenas. txcept insofar as it has been
instrumental in developing his char-

II, so is it any wonder that the man
who liked one of the Liszt "Hun
garian Rhapsodies" which a friend of
is played, asked him to please play
tor another friend "that same little
juU yiaycu iur inc ine
fither day?" It is sometimes quite en
ivening from a humorous standpoint
and other times quite a heartbreaking
jolt to people to awaken to a realiza
tion ot how little their work means to
other people. Yet, upon the other
hand, how much does the other fel
low's work mean to you? How many
minutes do you spend contemplating
your friend the vocalist or violinist,
and how much does it mean to you
if he is in fine form or not? And how
much do musical people appreciate
and enjoy the marvels of electricity,
for example? And the friend who
spends his life in it, who works out
experiments which have taken him
days, and have given him the greatest
satisfaction? How much of an im
pression does this make upon his mu
sical friends? How much do they think
Aout his work? They may mention
him to somebody else as a sort of sci
entific chap, but his work hardly rip
ples their surface. And he is probably
just as much of a baby when it comes
to his music as the musical friends
are when it comes to electricity.
If we could only learn not to ex
pect others to look at "me and my
work" from our own point of view,
but from the same point of view with
which we look at the other fellow
better idea of what to expect from

Members of the Tuesday Morning Musi
cal club, tha Clef club, wives of musicians,
and all others interested in musle are given
a special invitation to be present at the
sessions of the Nebraska conservation con
gress. May 22 to 25, at tha Auditorium.
When the business of war or of famine is
npon us music is one of the first lines of
endeavor to feel its effects. Musical people
attending the conservation meet and learn
ing how to better husband their resources
are not only doing something for their coun
try, but for their well loved art as well.
The MacDowell club of Omaha held a
short business meeting Thursday evening at
tha public library. The sentiment of the
meetings was that the club should continue
along its proposed lines as laid out at the
Inception. As soon as a few pledged mem
bers of the club have paid their dues the
club will send its 9100 to Mrs. MacDowell
for its share of the support of Peterborough.
Since the war the colony at Peterborough
has been offered to the government as a
home for invalid or convalescent artists
wounded in the war, which is an additional
reason why tha different clubs throughout
the country should continue their support
Subsequent meetings of tha club will be
held at the call of the president, Mr. A. M.
Borglum,
Another interesting studio recital was
given by some of the piano students of
Amanda Tebbens, Monday, May 14. at 4

Cathrine McCoun, Margaret Swarts, Fern
Galloway, Helen Weymuller, Madeline John

DO YOU LIVE
IN A BLACK HOUSE ?
In one out of every five homes, the
f)lot of Pathe's new serial is being
ived in real life right now. Were
those houses of unhappiness painted
black your street would have its
share. Would your house be among
them?
The theme is so broad, its ramifications
are so far-reaching that everyone is interested
in it. It remained for Mabel Herbert Umer,
America's most widely read author, to put
it into a Story, so powerful, so absorbing, so
sympathetic, that it needed the screen to
adequately bring out its scope, its power.
PATHE places before your eyes the, motion
picture serial THE NEGLECTED WIFE
RUTH ROLAND
the charming, the talented, the popular fav
orite, plays in it the best part or her career
that of the other woman.
TODAY AT THE MUSE
;
leading theatres everywhere will show the firft
episode of this serial. Plan to win one of the tempt
ing cash prizes which will go to those who furnish
the best solution to life's leading problem.
Adapted from novels by Mabel Herbert Umer.
