of bit writing our i almost inclined
lo the idea that lie ha contributed
a net shade to the critical spectrum.
Ol Jiehuberi's toiigt he wrote tlut

Now tlii is nne too t'oiuidimeolary
to Schubert, but aside from tlut it
afford an instance of the essei lit
eracies of Itchiissy, who fiinl the
song reminiscent of lavender in

tablishes the ownership of the Ut

farther when he describe some of
lirirg'a music at rink bon-bons fill,

not be the exact idea, but Cireig i
mule to surfer Vouie mi Ii fantastic
comparison. The bon-bon, with their
frigid filling, are bad enough, but e
submit that the ascription of the
color pink it carrying out sprcifica
tiont to the ultimate.
Hut Debusy always was a literal
iit. Some of 1114 piano piece are
labeled with .lull lanriiiil title as
What the Vet Wind Saw. I he
tlirl With the I laen Ilasr. "tiar
ileut Beneath the Kam," "Sounds and
lYrfiime. Turning in the livening
Air," "Homage of S. Pickwick, l'q.."
etc. Whether or not the music
artually suggests these titles is an
other question.
The New York Times summarizes
an article from the Paris Temps
wherein a number of passage's from
Debussy's posthumous volume called
"Monsieur troche. Antidillctantc"
are cited. The author, it seems, ad
mires Beethoven, but this admira
tion does not prevent him f m tak
ing; his little fling at the master never
theless. Beethoven's offense in this
ease seems to have been the imitative
music in the "Pastoral Symphony,"
whose "not too serious thunder,"
nightingales and cuckoo calls came
an outpouring of scorn from the
French author.
Famous composers have occasional
ly combined literary ability with their
creative gifts. Thus Berlioz was
active as a critic throughout his
J 1 -.Ml
larerr, ana nis writings arc mih ru
ioyed. Wagner wrote everything
from newspaper articles to pani-
i,M4.: 1irrtMiHrc 1tl,ifttna mill
books. Though he was German be
seems to have been Irish enough to
love a good fight, and hurled many a
wordy Philippic at his enemies.
Liszt wrote a biography of his friend
Chopin, Schumann was for a number
of years editor of a musical magazine,
and Saint-Saens wrote novels, plays
and astronomical treatises. But De
bussy will scarcely strengthen his
claims by his attempt to prove the
nselessness of the symphony since
Beethoven, thus discounting with one
gesture all the great works in that
f jrm by Schumann. Brahms, Tschai
kowsky, Berlioz and all the other
symphonic writers of later times. The
symphony is a pretty well establish
ed form, and we are - glad ' that
Brahms, Dvorak, Franck - and
Tschaikowsky wrote in it, even
though M. Debussy was pleased to
call s'-ch efforts "studious and conger-',
'd exercises." ;
He flays Wagner, which is rank in
gratitude, since he learned much from
the composer of "Tristan and Isolde."
Liszt, Gounod and Massenet come in
for praise. Can it be that our writer

his own countrymen and deride oth

French, though he spent a consider
able portion of his lite in Paris. No,
we will not make unjust accusations.
Kather explain the case by the con
sideration that Debussy was thor
oughly French in his feelings, sym
pathies and outlook. Thus his artis
tic sensibilities would be best grati

in Chicago the first week in April.
Miss Loretta DeLone, who will be
one of the soloists at the conven
tion, has been delegated to estab
lish a Nebraska chapter, and has
bbecn appointed president. The pres
entation of her harp ensemble .in
Omaha last March prevented her ap
pearance in the New York ensemble,
dates being the same. Much will be
accomplished in the domain of the
classic instrument, which is becom
ing more popular every year.
The Married Life of Helen and Warren
Warren's Vindictive Sister Exposes
Helen'! Artful Exchange of Gifts.
"They'll be bere in half an hour,"
announced Warren, turning from the
telephone.
"they might wait till we get our
trunks unpacked," resented Helen.
"Just look fl this placet t haven't
had time to do a thing,"
"Well, don't t4rt,iu to polish up
now! They know we landed lt
night,"
"Carrie's so inconsiderate!" lustily
straightening the library. "Of coni.c,
she'll expect their presents and I
haven's a thing for P-obbie!"
"The deuce you haven't! Thought
you'd bought some toys in Naples."
"No, 1 derided to get him some
thing here and not have to pay duty
on it."
"And you'd have the nerve to say
you brought it from F.tirope;"
"Why, everybody docs that! Mrs.
Lane always buys her presents he lure
they tail. When she gets back, she
pins on them the foreign tickets
fioin the things she's bought for
herself."
"Huh!" grunted Warren, disgusted
at this depth of feminine duplicity.
"If they come before I'm ready--you
keep Carrie in here," rushing in
to her own room to dress.
First she must lay out their prcs
entts. The Venetian wallet was for
Lawrence, but she was undecided
whether to give Carrie the desk set
bought in Florence, the torloisc-slull
comb from Naples or the amber
beads from Home.
And the la.'! Warren's sisler bad
com missioned her to buy some Ital
ian lace and embroideries anything
that she saw cheap.
All the needlework she bad bought
was in that one box. She would
have to sort it out and decide what
she wanted to keep for herself and
that could not be done in a hurry.
Carrie would just have to wait.
But Bobbie? She must have some
thing for Bobbie.
Hurriedly she searched through
her "Present Box." In this large
box on. the closet shelf. Helen kept
all her unwanted Christmas and
birthday gifts..
But in all that assortment, there
was nothing suitable for a child.
That white woolen scarf Aunt
Knmia had sent her I Why wouldn't
that do for Bobbie? Aunt Emma
lived out in Missouri she would
never know.
This left only Carrie's present to
be decided upon.
Hooking up her taupe georgette,
Helen viewed the three things that
she had laid out on the bed the
desk set, the comb, and the beads.
l hat hand-tooled Florentine leath
er set would look wonderful on their
old Sheraton desk. She hated to give
that away;
And that fan-shaped tortoise-shell
conibl Wistfully, she tried it in her
hair. And those amber beads were
just the shade for her new embroid
ered crepe.
The belli With flurried haste, she
snapped the clamps on her gown.
Bobbie's shrill treble in the hall.
Already he was in some mischief, for
'he heard Carrie's habitual, "Don't
Precious, don't do that!"
They were all in the library when
Helen entered.
"We shouldn't have run in on you
so soon," apologized Lawrence.
"I knew you wouldn't mind." Car
rie appropriated the most comfort-
table chair. "We were in ton for
the day and we can t come in nest
Jsunday."
"I'm glad joq canu," lied Helen
politely, "We're not straightened
out yet. but Oh, Bobbie, don't da
that! You'll spoil Aunt Helen's
lamp,"
Calmly iitiiuring this admonition,
t'ohhic continued swiuh on and
oil lite table light by jerking the
ch:tb
" hatch bring me?' he de
manded, when Helen tinally diaggrd
him aay. "A ingiite that goes
'rotni';" eagerly.
"No, that wmibl have been too
big for Aunt Helen' trunk. Now,
sit down there and be a nice boy
and I'll show jou what I have for
you."
Helen made haitv gilt-tike tissue
paper packages of the scarf and wal
Jet A moment' fluttering indeci
sion and she wrapped up the beads
for Carrie.
"Gimme! Gimme!" Bobbie charged
toward lirr, as she entered.
"Something to keep yon nice and
warm," banding him the scarf,
"Just what I needed." beamed
Lawrence, opening the wallet.
"Auibrr beads!" Carrie registered
disappointment. Oh, thanks, to
much."
"I thought you'd like them," mur
tnurrd Helen. "You wear so much
brown,"
"Yci. they're very attractive," with
out enthusiasm, "Is'nt it a pity
they're so much imitated? I saw a
string at llunbeU the other day for
89 cents. You tould hardly tell them
from the real."
"Anyone who knows anything
about amber could." bristled Helen,
flushing at her sister-in-law's Insin
uation. "These are the real Neapoli
tan amber."
"Oh, yes, of course, these are. I
was only saying"
"What's this?" With precocious
disdain Bobby held up the scarf,
"It's to put around your neck
when you rjlay out in cold weather."
"Did you get this in Naples, too?"
asked Carrie, examining it closely.
"No, I bought almost everything in
I'lorencc," evading a deliberate lie. "I
liked the shops there so much."
"That's curious! It's knitted exact
ly the way they knit them here."
, "Is it? I suppose they make those
everywhere," with well-tcigncd' care
lessness. "How about the laces?" demanded
Carrie, folding up the scarf Bobbie
had fretfully thrown off. "I'm crazy
to sec what you bought for me."
"I'm soryy, Carrie, but you'll have
to wait until you come in again. I
haven't even, unpacked the trunks
and I've forgotten where I put them."
"What d'you want? That box of
lace?" broke in Warren, who was
discussing conditions in Italy with
Lawrence. "That's easy it's in my
trunk."
"Oh, is it? I'd forgotten just
where I put it."
Helen could have shaken him for
his interference. He was always
championing his sister. There was
nothing to do now. but to bring out
the lace.
Again in her room, she took the
box from the trunk and rummaged
through it with nervous baste. There
was one collar and a set of doilies
she particularly wanted to keep. If
Carrie saw them, she would be sure
to want them.

"Mrs. Stevens!" with a snill. "I

"No, I marked them from my

"Well, I must say you paid awful

with the air of imparting a favor.
