By HENRIETTA M. REES.
iHE second annual conven-
mtion of the Nebraska State
Music Teachers' associa
tion will hold its sessions
IllPJj April 1, 2. and 3 in Omaha,
wun neaaquarters at wic
v Hotel Fontenelle. Begin
ning Monday evening at 8 o'clock
with a reception, and a special musi
cal program by prominent Omaha
musicians, the .meetings will follow
each other in morning, afternoon and
evening sessions, according to the
program which was printed in these
columns last week.
Numbers which were not an
nounced last week are the numbers
by Mr. Cox, Omaha violinist, and his
Omaha Chamber Music society Mon
day evening; the Handel "Sonata,"
which will be played by Mr. August
Molzer Of Lincoln on the Tuesday
afternoon program, preceding the
program by Nebraska composers,
and the number by the quartet of the
First Presbyterian church, which will
be given on the organ program by
Mr. J. Frank Frysinger of Lincoln at
this church Tuesday evening. Miss
Loretta DeLone will play Wcdnejy
day morning following the paper by
Prof. Jacob Singer of Lincoln,' and
preceding the business meeting. The
program for Wednesday afternoon
has also been completed, and besides
Mrs. Florence Basler Palmer, so
prano, and the paper by Prof. Carl
Beutel, University Place, Miss Nora
Neal, pianist, and Mr. Carl Steckel
berg, violinist, will play. With the
exception of these few changes the
programs will stand as published last
week. The Omaha teachers are look
ing for a large number of the teach
ers from different parts of the state
to lend their support and to show
their interest by attending. Music
lovers may avail themselves of the
programs by the payment of a small
fee'
Miss Alice Nielsen, prima donna
soprano, who appears at the Boyd
theater Thursday evening, April 4, as
the last number of the Associated
Charities benefit course, will present
a program which contains much of
interest over and above the interest,
which the singer herself always
brings. A group of three songs in
English will open the program and
will be followed by a similar group
of three itt the French language. Two
spirituals by Burleigh, the well loved
aria, "Un bel di," from "Madam But
terfly," by Puccini, and a closing
group of English songs make up her
share and a group of piano numbers
by Mr. Thomas Griselle, pianist, and
accompanist, will also be given Miss
Nielsen is a legtimate artist who. has
won her way to a high place both
with concert and opera audiences. She
last appeared in Omaha several years
ago under the management of Miss
Evelyn Hopper at the First Metho
dist church.
The Tuesday Musical club will pre
sent the students' program on Thurs
day afternoon, April 4 at the Black
stone... hotel at 3 o'clock. The animal
business meeting and election of of
ficers will precede the program.
' The seventh and closing program
of the Tuesday Musical club season
will be given on Thursday evening,
April 11, when Frieda Hempel, so
prano of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany, will be presented in a song re
cital at the Boyd theater at 8:15
o'clock. Miss Hempel has long held
a prominent position in musical cir
cles. In talking with Miss Muncli
hoff the other day, she said that some
time ago she was interested in find
ing a record of "The Last Rose of
Summer," which should be the most
perfect possible. She had records of
this song by all the leading prima
donnas sent up, and played them over
carefully, eventually deciding-'upon the
one- which was sung by Miss Frieda
Hempel as being the best of them all.
New York critics unite, in declaring
her a consummate artiat. and her first
Omaha appearance will be an un
doubted treat.
Mary Boyle O'Reilly, who lectured
for the Fine Arts last Monday, told an
interesting anecdote in connection
with the moving of the people of War
sawrto the interior in 1915. It had
been decided that the children should
go first, and when the fortress had
fallen, one bitter cold night, and the
Germans were approaching, the chil
dren were lined up and told to be
brave in the face of the bombs and
stench bombs which the German air
planes were throwing down to terrify
and scatter them, and that they were
to be led out of the city by the Holy
Gate. When they reached the gate
there was a man standing there sing
ing in what the unmusical even rec
ognized as a wonderful voice. It was
Edouard de Reszke, who said he
wanted the children always to re
member the songs of their native land,
so he took this way of impressing
them upon their memories.
The sonata is and always has been
the aristocrat of instrumental music.
It is the culmination of the classical
form, and form is the underlying or
der or plan, the arrangement of the
notes, phrases and themes which
makes music enjoyable. Its very
name, "sound-piece," gave it advan
tages of development which musical
public opinion would never have per
mitted to other more restricting titles.
It started out in life in 1624, as a sort
of lax fugue or instrumental madri
gal. Throughout its youth it assimi
lated characteristics from the best of
church music, the best of dance music,
especially the suite, which was a col
lection of dance tunes, and the best
of operatic music, which helped it
to be dramatic, associating with every
other form freely, being influenced by
it, yet never coming under its domi
nation, until we find evolved the
modern sonata form, in all the magni
tude and artistic splendor of its own
individuality as a composition.
The sonata is always in two or
more movements, otic of which is us
ually in the sonata form. The exposi
tion or first division indicates the
character of the whole piece, intro
duces the subject, the second subject
and related matter; the second di
vision is the development, or working
out or free fantasia, where the com
poser "is free to exercise h;s genius
in displaying his technical skill, imagi
nation and passion." The third part

holds the repetition, recapitulation
and unifying of the whole. Other
movements may be whatever the
composer judges suitable to develop
a well balanced work of art.
Sonatas are written for solo instru
ments, or for two instruments, such
as a violin and a piano, when both in
struments are treated as ecmal fac
tors in. portraying the whole. When
this form is employed for orchestra
it is found in the symphony,- and when
it is written for solo instrument and
orchestra it is a concerto. Much
chamber music id also written in this
form.
It is an interesting fact that but few
instrumental recital programs are
complete without a sonata, and in look
ing over the program of the convention
for the coming veeV there are no les9
than five or six numbers in this large,
highly developed form of music which
will be presented.
Although I do not suppose there
was any especial significance of the
day in connection with it, it was on
April 1 that the sunniest and happiest
dispositioned of all musical masters
was born, Josef Haydn, away back in
the year 1732. Nor can we know if
there was any connection between it
and the fact that Papa Haydn beside
being the father of the sonata and
the modern symphony, and origina
tor of the string quartet, was also the
father of musical humor. However,
one never can tell. It is sort of an
April fool joke upon the vast majority
of other composers of the time and
since that Haydn's music is living
and well loved today, whila theirs
has been long forgotten.

P REETINGS, Dear Readers:
Remember it is Easter Day
Trie time of all the year
When souls by tender sentiment
Are stirred, and thoughts of cheer
Make hearts bowed down with sad-
ness
More hopefal, more at peace,
For the looked-for time of concord
Will come and War will cease.
So let a song be on your lips,
Put on your best array,
And join the throng that's church
ward bound
On this glal Easter Day.
YES, this is the Sunday when
EVERYBODY goes to church.
For Spring, who has been making
herself at home these last few weeks,
comes out on Easter and tells a story
of new apparel. Such loads of lovely
new togs as I've been buying for my
friends this week. Hope you'll enjoy
wearing them, as much as I've en
joyed choosing them for you.
MISS LA BOSCHIN, who So
graciously reigns o'er that part
of the domain in the Brandeis Stores
called "The Misses' and Small
Women's Specialty Shop," believes it
I is a part of Woman's patriotic duty
J to look her best, and by doing so is
helping to preserve the morale of
her country.
When on her recent Eastern buy
ing trip, Miss La Boschin had
this thought uppermost in mind and
sought the most "distingue" garments
that could possibly be found for
Omaha's daughters. And such a treat
it was to view these new originations
of Fashion when I visited Brandeis'
Friday-morning!
Almost startling, because they
were so new and "different,"
were some stunning long enveloping
capes of duvetyn, tricotine and serge,
elegantly lined with Pussy Willow,
foulard and crepe de chine. "Quite
the ultimate word in cover-up' gar
ments," said Miss La Boschin, "and
much favored on Fifth Avenue at
present. Some, you will note, as
sume an air 'militaire.' "
"And here," she continued, lead
ing me to a rack of chic suits,
"are some moderately priced suits,
only $25 in fact, but with the same
trig lines and English trimness dis
tinguishable in very high priced 'tail
leurs' they are very special indeed!"
Miss La Boschen tells me she
is expecting the most lovable
frock creations for Country Club
wear ponipadour chiffons, light chif
fons, laces and Georgettes. I'm just
wild to see them, aren't you?
New hat brims are wider in the
front than in the back.
"Oresto chango," it might
be called, but whatever its
name is, a certain little sleeve
less coatee of black velvet with collar
and lapels ot pongee is surely one of
the cleverest tricks ever invented by
Dame Fashion for, when you wear
it . "inside out," a pongee coatee it is,
with a dashing black velvet collar and
lapels. Quiie correct and absolutely
perfect, I assure you, both ways,
j though some slanderous person
i might call it "two-faced." $2275 is
' its price at F. W. Thome's, 1812 Far
j nam. There are also some hand-
made (Madame Flander's) coatees of
tussah, corduroy and white French
serge. Stunning! I should call them.
Priced $7.75 and $12.50.
Fringe is used in finishing the ends
of girdles and tunics.
time to say that there were two things
I forgot to put into my song of hate.
One was "all concert stage settings,"
and the other is the expression "artist
pupil."
I, too, have composed a war com
position. But it is nothing trivial like
a marching song with fifes and drums
or sentimental like those with sob
bing verses about "boy" and "joy"
and "far from home" and so on in it.
Oh my, no. Mine is instrumental, .en
tirely, and is program music. It really
should be played by orchestra, and is
not bad upon the organ, but as I
didn't have either when I wrote it, it
can be played upon the piano if it
must.
It is entitled "Present Day Russia."
It starts out with the first motive of
"God Save Our Noble Czar;" then
you repeat the czar note twice, the
first one quickly and the second one
slowly, so that the music says "the
czar" over again. Then a glissando in
the right hand with the thumb starts
above in the treble and hits the czar
note with an abrupt smash, and de
poses it clear to its lcrwest octave in
the bass, fortissimo, then after a
pause it is repeated very staccato
pianissimo. Lunga pausa; that is the
end of the first movement, also of the
czar. The second movement starts
with a short introduction, the left
hand plays the lowest c, then e flat,
then you slap the key board with
first the right and then the left hand.
You do this up the keyboard, that
signifies the different revolutionary
controls attempted and the results.
A robin's song each morn
Awakes me from my slumbers
Slyly the buds on bush and
bough
In countless numbers
Have burst their winter coats:
The opening day of spring
A CIRCLET ot Emeralds! Did
you ever see one used as a Mar
riage Ring? I never did until this
week, when I happened into Albert
Edholm's Wonderful Jewelry Store
on the corner of 16th and Harney
streets, and was shown a few of the
new fashjon "the last wrd" in fact
in wedding :ings. A very pretty bit
of sentiment is attached to these ex
quisite jeweled circlets, the jewel
chosen being the groom's birthstone
(or if preferred the bride's own.) For
instance, this dainty ring paved with
caliber emeralds, was indicative of
May, the month of happiness, while
another beautiful circlet of sapphires
was significant that the groom was
born in September. Don't you like the
idea? I do.
YOU could conveniently tuck this
little item in your bag, and have
it as a reminder the next time you
need a new corset. Mrs. D. A. Hill,
who has attained the title, "Special
ist," on account of her careful corset
ing, will fit you to one of her beauti
ful models, so that you will have that
freedom and grace demanded by the
fashions of 1918. Her corset parlors
are at 205 Neville Block and you may
call Douglas 3356 should you wish tol
make an appointment with her.
Organdy collars are piped with
gingham.
ONE of 'he things uppermost in
our minds just now is "cleaning
house." Of course, it's not the bug
bear that it used to be with all the
modern metl.ods employed nowadays
in fact you can make it a very
pleasant and easy task if you'll just
take my advice. First of all phone
Douglas 963 and have the Pantorium
estimator call and quote a prire on
cleaning your house fixin's. Then,
when all the rugs, carpets, draperies,
curtains, besides blankets, comforts
and pillows are out of the way, you
can do your cleaning, paper-hanging
and painting I'm speaking from ex
perience. It' really the wisest way.
Either the high or low neck is
fashionable.
SURELY the designers must have
taken great pleasure in making
two such adorable frocks as I noted
in the charming window display of
Herzberg's Women's Toggery this
week. A ieune fille" model which
heralded quite a new note had a skirt
of box pleated white crepe de chine
finished at the edge with a band of
deep old rose in the same material.
Worn with this is a rose-colored
middy embroidered in white yarn at
the throat with a single rose, and hav
ing a cuffed hem of white. The other
model of crepe de chine in that new
shade called "dawn" has insets of
double laced fagotting, and rows of
tiny buttons to add to its distinctive
beauty. Both of these lovely frocks
are priced $24.50.
ONE of the "finer things" for
Springtime, because of the care
and thought bestowed upon it, is a
handmade frock of crepe meteor in an
exquisite shade of peach, shown at
F. W. Thome's Uptown Shop. 1812
Farnam. It is a youthful model with
a round yoke on the high waist,
which is beautifully beaded in a blue
and yellow daisy cjiain pattern. The
skirt features the new, graceful
"wrapped" effect. The price is $37.50.
One of the stores is showing some
decidedly new things in neckwear.
Vestecs of tissue gingham, which are
very, very smart, and others of tus
sah silk.
.
Tailored with wonderful skitn
That's 'Jie reason so many of our
smartly dressed women decide to
have their "tailor-mades" fashioned
by Knceter Ladies' Tailor, 506-8
South 16th Street. Mr. Kneetcr is an
artist in tutting, and that means
everything to the style of the gar
ment. You'll find his prices are quite
moderate.
Then, when you get to the top of the
keyboard in this manner, the motive
of the great Russian lion Lenine is
heard roaring boldly. This is accom
plished by playing a trill pianissimo
upon the three highest half tones of
the instrument like this 'ta de da de
da de da dc da'de dump," repeated
about three times. At this point
enters the Trotzky motive with the
left hand, the Lenine theme being re
peated at suitable intervals during it.
The Trotzky theme is the four notes
of a diminished chord descending,
staccato, and then the same ones as
cending, simulating clearly one trot
ting around in circles. After soit.e
five minutes of this, punctuated by the
first few measures of "Die Wacht am
Rhine," played in a minor 'key, all
themes merge into great thunderous
discords descending the keyboard
caused by doubling both fists and hit
ting as many notes as you can with
them both, all the way clown, tiiis be
ing the result motive. When you
reach the bottom, you turn your left
hand sidewise and continue this re
sult motive with this hand, while with
the right you phiy first softly, but with
a gradual crescendo, "Deutchland
L'ber Allies" as badly as you can, us
ing sevenths and ninths where octaves
are, and minor thirds for ones, mean
while keeping down the loud pedal.
This is to illustrate the methods Ger
many used in getting in. That i.- all
there is to the piece so far. ' We
modern composers never end with a
cadence any more anyway. It is onfy
published German style; i. e., you

A ARM days will soon be here and
you'll want to blossom out in
the lily-white freshntss of togs that
can be easily tubbed. Such beautiful
new white skirtings as Mr. Peter
MacDonald had to show me when I
visited the White Goods Section of
Thompson-Belden's this week! Plaids,
which are so voguish this season, are
shown in some very effective pat
terns, while stripes and basket
weaves, both equally as stylish, may
be seen in some quite new designs.
Then, of course, there are plain ga
bardines, poplins and piques, which
are always good, and a new Hawaiian
cloth which resembles poplin, except
ing it( has a little dash stripe. This
material has a very admirable qual
ity, for it will shed water, so if you
have a skirt or suit of it, you need
not worry if you're caught out in the
rain.
THERE are more new and interest--1-
ing things than one would ever
dream of in Orchard & Wilhelm's
Gift Shop. A trip there is just like a
visit to a museum of rare and beauti
ful art treasures! An immense ship
ment of Sheffield' has just been un
packed, among which 1 noted some
very lovely pieces in the Adam pat
tern, to match, if one pleases, their
period dining room furniture. There
are tables of fairy-blown Venitian
glass and American-blown glass in
the identical colors used by the Ven
itian workers, some very rare artist
signed pictures, which one will never
see elsewhere, for this Gift Shop is
noted for its one-of-a-kind thing, and
but I shall stop right here, for I
know you'll want to visit this depart
ment to see things for yourself.
Have you met Grinny? Ask me
about him!
Wouldn't you luve an individual
breakfast set to match the color
scheme and general style of your
room? 1 saw some of these attrac
tive sets this week. One would not
need to be lazv ;" to enjoy one. ,

YOU'LL want to go to housekeep
ing immediately when you sec.
that pretty CALIFORNIA SUN
ROOM SET of white reed furniture,
now on display in the Omaha Reed
and Rattan Company's Shop at '640
South 16th Street. This very attrac
tive group, daintily but substantially
made of small round reeds, consists
of 10 pieces ?nd includes a most com
fortable day bed provided with box
springs and mattress, a big easy chair
which suggests "Sit doyn and enjoy
yourself wih your favorite book or
magazine for I m so comfy." A com
panion to this is a large roomy
rocker. Then there is a 42-inch round
top table, with four cunning low
backed chairs which may be lost to
view when not in use, as they fit
neatly under the table. A most deco
rative fern box, with an overhanging
bird cage and a lamp completes this
set, which is being most reasonably
offered now for $250.
The light voiles trim themselves
with inserts of net scalloped and em
broidered. THE Lenten season, which placed 4
quietus on all Omaha's social ac
tivities, is now over, and many din
ners and luncheons are planned for
Easter week. If you are planning to
entertain, I iuggest that you buy your
flowers at Lee Larmon's, for he
makes a specialty of decorating for
parties, and lelights in designing new
floral arrangements for your table,
and sweet individual corsages for the
guests. His baskets are beautiful,
especially those filled with Spring
blossoms gay tulips, bright daffodils,
fragrant hyacinths, jaunty jonquils
or if you wish a quaint, old-fashioned
effect, there are snap-dragons, sweet
peas, or tiny rosebuds. Mr. Larmon's
Flower Shop is in the Fontenelle
Hotel, phone D. 8244.

Leonora Ferrarri, soprano, has taken the
leading roles in 14 grand operas; Lilluin
I'ringle, cellist; Kduardo Vito, 16-ycar-old
harpist; Laura Barnett, contralto; W. Clay
Inmnn, baritone; Alma Wallace, pianist, and
Hugh It. Newsom, .tenor and director, make
up the company, and the press agent has
much to say of commendation for each of
them. Concerted and solos numbers are both
(riven upon their program, and among their
equipment they carry with them a specially
built organ with solo effects and a keyboard
of cathedral chimes.
Miss Nora Neal presents her pupil, Mar
guerite Carnal, in piano recital Tuesday eve

Wagoner, pianist, in a Sonata program at
the First Christian church, April U. Mrs.
Zabriskie and Mrs. Wagoner are donating
their services, the church and programs
have been donated, the music department is
managing the concert and the proceeds go
to the Red Cross, so there are many reasons
why the department is anxious to make this
a great success.

THE length and style of curtains
J- and draperies are, to the charm
of a home, quite as important as the
length and style of skirts are to the
charm of a costume. Fashion has a
way of saying that our curtains are
to hang sill length, just as she dic
tates that our skirts be ankle length.
Sketched in Orchard & Wilhelm's ad
vertisement today on page are sev
eral different modish styles of window
arrangements, which should be of as
sistance to you in planning the cur
tains and draperies for your home.
I suggest that you clip these pictures,
and should you wish advice as to the
kind and amount of materials to be
used, it will be cheerfully given you
free of charge by the Decorating De
partment of this store. Drop in to
see them, or write them a letter if
you live out of town.

T 'M NOT accustomed to writing
musical criticisms, but if I were
I would certainly have some very
pleasant things to say about Miss
Ursula Dietrich, the concert-pianist,
who, beginning April 10, will give a
series of daily - recitals at the A.
Hospe Co.'s Music , Store at 1513
Douglas Street to demonstrate in
what a living, vital way the Art Apollo
Player Piano may be made to repro
duce the very feeling and expression
of an artist. I was delightfully en

several times last Fall,' when Miss
Dietrich was here, and am so pleased
to announce the return engagement

just been opened when I entered the
smart little second floor shop of La
mond's, in the Securities Building,
last Thursday morning, so I had the
pleasure of a peep at them in all their
pristine beauty. "Surely the unerring
taste of an artist is revealed in these
beautiful color effects," enthusiastic-'
ally spoke a lady, who, as had I, com
pletely succumbed to their Spring-like
charm. Decidedly French is the touch
of turquoise itt combination with;
maize, shown in one of these fairy
like Georgette affairs, but one even
prettier and costing only $8.75 was
one snowy white blouse with a tiny
crossed vestee, tiny strips on the col-l
!ar and cuffs of this same exquisite
color, which is also brought out in
the embroidered and beaded fleur de
lis which ornament the front and col
lar of this blouse. Old blue and
peach, gray and old rose are other
artistic color combinations. These
blouses ar- priced $8.75, $9.75 and
$10.75. j

Pantalooii j of jersey weave are of-f
fered as substitutes for petticoats un

It is named "THE CHAPPIE," most
appropriately for I've never seen a

covert cloth, this English box-length-coat
so excellently tailored is bound
to be a winner among the Younger'

THAT OMAHA HAS EVER
SEEN 111 You'll quite agree with me
that they are if you'll attend the Sporf,
Hat Display at Drahos Luttig's Smart
Little Hat Shop at 1706 Douglas to
morrow. They re all so jaunty, ancT
each one so becoming, that you'll find
several that you'll think were made
especially for you. They come in al
the new shades to match the Spring
sweaters. ?
