Ptralatcnce Is the Cardinul Virtue in Advertising, Cranberry rie WM Music Coffee 5 By HENRIETTA M. REES. KKKY tHKIMMA.V As you are reading these very words chimes msy be ring ing and Christmas music sounding from some of the old story of the birth of Christ, tho shepherds in the fields and the chorus of angels is (old in song. Christmas and Faster are two great religious events when music is most generally called upon to assist in more inti mately and ideally bringing home to the worshippers the significance and importance of the day. Most of the churches will have special services, and choirmasters and singers have been working earnestly in order to give of their best, and to deliver the message of the music. And alter all, that is the main thing. Music is merely a means of expression, more subtle, more abstract than words, and much more suggestive and elusive ac cordingly. He who uses it well must be the master of it. If he writes in it, he must have something to say, and subjugate the means completely to it. If he interprets he must make its technic and science his handmaidens, that he may clearly and honestly bring to others the message that he finds. Worthy Christmas music and that which endures was written, not for the beauty 'of its sounds, but to de liver a Christmas message, or to tell its wondrous story. Christmas music must be sung or interpreted with this idea constantly in mind. When this is done it serves its true function, and brings its powerful influence to bear upon the listeners in its proper and impressive manner. What nice thing do you suppose is going to happen tonight? Something because 'of Christmas eve, connected with Christmas and relating to it? Why, we are really and truly going to have some Christmas carol sing ing in Omaha I Everybody may not hear it, for in comparison to the size of our big city only a few people will he singing, but a great many will hear it, and it will do much to spread tlie "tidings of gladness and joy" and to revive one of the most beauti ful of old European customs. Groups of from fifteen to twenty apiece from the Young People's so ciety of the St. Maryla Avenue Con gregational church are going out. This Young People's society is a large and enthusiastic organization and the interest of this church in music is well known, and they will sing in several places in the city. The Hanscom Park Methodist Epis copal church young people are also going out, and they have several autos engaged to take them about most ex peditiously These young people, under the. inspiration of Miss Eleanor Stal lard. started with the idea of carolling for the "shut-ins" and for the sick at hospitals, but have enlarged their plans sad will sing many other places as well. There will be about forty of them altogether.. Some thirty from the Unitarian church also are plan ning to go about singing carols. Undoubtedly there are many other groups to sing carols in different parts of the city also, who will do their part in spreading Christinas joy. This is only a beginning, but it will undoubtedly bring much inspiration and the highest kind of genuine pleas ure. How fine it would be if it would lead to some definite systematic plan for next year, in which a great many more people might join, and not only participate, but co-operate in bring ing these lovely old Christmas songs again to life. But over and beyond the reviving of a beautiful old custom and the spreading of Christmas glad ness, however, in this kind of ac tivity is to be found the true com munity spirit. We hear much of this nowadays, but sometimes we look for it vainly. It' is not to be found in the hall where a program has been arranged, where one person sings, atir other plays more or less discriminated Bean Starting Tuesday) Dec' 26 to Saturday, Dec. 30 Our Fourth Annual ; PRE-INYENTdRY SALE Of All WOMEN'S SUITS, COATS, DRESSES, SKIRTS & WAISTS CHOICE OF ALL OUR Dresses l2 PRICE Every Dress is Stock Goes!

I'aolo Tosti, song writer, who recently passed away at his home, in Italy, are published in Musical Amer ica this week. They are principally the collections of Antonio Scotti, the great baritone, who was a close friend of the composer of "Goodbye." Tosti always carried pits of paper with him upon which he jotted down ideas for songs that came to hint, wher ever he happened to be. Much of his composing was done outside of the musical season and at the seaside. He never wrote a grand opera, but con templated an opera burfa at one time. He taught singing and played his own song accompaniments very well. For many years he lived in London, and was knighted by King Edward. He was instructor of the English royal family, lie was a great joker, and of an extremely lovable personality. His I songs, well known tar ana wide, are both many and beautiful. In the same magazine is an inter esting interview with Herbert With erspoon, distinguished voice special ist of New York. He says that about one person in a million breathes cor rectly: that breathing is all-important in singing. He favors laws to check incompetent vocal Instructors, who through ignorance, in their presum ing to direct the use of the delicate vocal organ can wreck the health and life of those under their care. He points out that the incompetent piano and violin teachers can do but little physical harm through their poor teaching, in comparison with the poor vocal teacher, He says that there are two kinds of vocal teach ers, the teacher who makes money and the teacher who makes singers. Me feels that there is no system in the present methods of teaching and in the near future he is to establish a school embodying the ideals which his twenty-one years of concert and opera experience and constant music al investigations have given him. , Hans Richter, famous German con ductor, died at his home at Bayreuth, Bavaria, during the early part of this month. He was for many years con sidered' the greatest of Wagnerian conductors, and was one of the great est personalities in the musical wqrld of his day. He had retired front ac tive musical work some years ago, and his last few months were devoted to literary pursuits. . ' M ' Mmlrtl Notn.
