In fact , she more nearly icsembles the ideal homo maker than the society woman of any other metropoli tan city , and she brings up her daughters In the same way.

During the last week n new organization has come Into existence in our mldbt which bids fair to prove a power for good In the development of home musical talent. H Is the Omaha Musical society , which had Its first meeting In Crclghton hall last Tuesday evening , of which a full report appeared In Wednesday's Bee The artists who come to us from abroad bring to us the fruits ot their training and expprlence , and in listenIng - Ing to them we leain what they have ac complished by careful and persevering study , and we also learn what we may ac complish If we will do the work , for wo are loth to acknowledge that others are anymore moro fortunately endowed by nature than wo are. But It is Impossible for us to set ourselves to the great work of pi operation , to face the years of study and experiment , the deprivation involved in devoting our incomes none too large to the study of music , without some outlook , without some ray ot light piercing the clouds of uncer tainty that lower over the future. We want to see that our music , when It has been ac quired , will bo of some UHO to us. We want to feel that our fellow townsmen are In sympathy with us and Interested In our work. Wo want to feel that we are In touch with them and they with us , and that In our art we all find a bond of fellow ship and an object of pride which shall servo as a stimulus to continued exertion on our part and of hearty and generous co operation on theirs. We would like to know that It Is not necessary to live In seine other town to be well thought of , and we want some chance to show what we can do. The central reason for the existence of the Omaha Musical society , and for that matter of nil local musical organizations , Is to glvo local singers and players Just that chance , and to glvo the public a chance to enjoy them and encourage them , and , to keep ( .omo ot the money annually spent for amusements , In the family. As It Is now nearly all of It goes to the stranger who lingers within our gates just long enough to receive It If he la u foreigner he takes It with him to his own country to buy lands and build castles , and to help substantiate his exaggerated stories of his wonderful as cendancy over us There is another phase of this musical devolopnpiit iiil ) ) " " ' whldi Is Important , and It but helps to prove that the principles underlying all d > vcopmrnt | are the eutn1 If one wishes to Increase the muscular power of his arm ho nuts It , If ho allows It to hang long enough by his side atrophy ensues , ami ft becomes useless The same law holds good In the domain of music As well un dertake to become ) eloquent in a foreign language , by studying Its grammar , syntax and rules of composition , as to try to he cnmo a great singer or player by simply taking lessons Music Is a language which ono pcraon spcak.s to another , and fluency and eloquence are only to bo obtained by actual practice.

She reports having had n splendid vacation and to have gained much In health Omaha ones much of Us present musical culture to Mrs Cot ton , and after her return It will be the pleasure of The Hoe to give to Its leaden an account of her sojourn In Europe. * * * The orchestra which Mr. Hans Albeit it organising has begun rehearsals In prepara tion for the concerts to lia given this season. , A committee appointed by the Commercial eluli to invpstlmte Its business foundation and management has rendered a favoinMo report and advised members to purchase tickets. An oichestra is the greatest educator cater In the musical resources of n city. It is the highest achievement of 400 yeaia of musical progiess , and much of the flncatt music written by the greatest composers is written for orchestra. The time must certainly come In this country as It has already come In Europe when every city which values Ita position In art will have Its own orchestra and Its own choral so ciety. Mr. Hans Albert Is > n musician of cX- porlence , having played under the baton of , Theodore Thomas. Some years ago ho or- ganlzod an orchestra In this city and brought It up to n high degree of proficiency , but the time- was not rlp6 for H null Its' usefulness was cut short. The great ex- pcnso Involved has prevented all but n vciy few American cities from possessing an orv chcstia , but it Is to be hoped tl at Its value will soon be app celalod. and that some of the money wasted in useless recreation may be diverted to so noble a cause. * * The Omaha GIco club , composed of twen ty-four selected male voices from Omaha and Council Bluffs , under the direction of Mr , L.
