But he would never, never find them if not especially directed by one of the initiated. The hotels exhibit no announcements of them, the police do not know of them and the conduc tors on the street cars could hardly be expected to mention them; yet who else might one ask? The Commercial club might tell of the Lininger gal lery, but not everyone interested in art would have access to this kindly source of information. But if through sheer luck or by ac cident he should find himself within thri . Lininger gallery at Eighteenth and Davenport streets he would there discover as much art as be could ab sorb and amusement and diversion would be his. Should he happen to be a supersensitive mortal in search of really great works, he would find in "The Philosopher's Den" a work of Florence M.

For this work was painted before the days when ar tists went crazy over impressionism and contains the subdued charms that were fascinating to big artists forty years, ago. The canvas has a lovely quiet old tone and is painted with rare ability, and it is safe to predict that this picture will still be consid ered great when many bf the later day impressionistic works are hang ing in dark cellars or store room. Another praiseworthy painting which the discriminating art lover would find is the "Return of Spring" by Boagereau, which work put Omaha discreditibly before the art world some twenty-six years ago, when a zealous religionist, shocked by the ab sence of clothing about the painting, hurled a chair against the dainty, chaste, node figure, puncturing the canvas horribly. The late Mr. Lin inger afterwards redeemed Omaha by purchasing the painting in Paris, after it had been repaired by the master himself. The painting was one of Mr. Lininger's favorites. . While it was painted early in the artist's career, and is not as delightful as some of his later works, such as "The Bathers" in the Chicago Art institute, it is, nevertheless, a "Bougereau" and has much of the inimitable charm which made that artist's work so nniversally admired. . But should the art-hungry one not have received his fill from the con templation of these older works, he will have but a short walk to the public library, where on the top floor he may see some of the choicest can vases to be found anywhere. It is not necessary for the lover' of great art to travel half way across the con tinent, suffering inconveniences and expense and losa of valuable time to find works of the highest order, for to the right and to the left of the main stairway leading to the third floor, hanging eight feet above the height of the eye, are two master pieces of which Parts, London or New York might be proud. Many of us have traveled thousands of miles to see less worthy works than these, which represent Davis and Dessar at their best. A few steps farther, partly con cealed in the dim light of the gallery, one may hunt out the finest examples of Robert Reid, Whitman, Couse, Redficld, Palmer, Meakin and of other artists perhaps greater in name if not in quality.

Several of the artists whose masterful works hang reticently on these dimly lighted walls are not now producing the equal of these works. Many years hence, when another generation of artists stand before these immortal paint ings, they will wonder how mere men, living so many years before, could have known so much and have painted so well. It is true that the most dis criminating observer will not fail to be profoundly impressed by these works. The only pity is that the paint ings cannot be seen in a light and environment more in keeping with their greatness. Of course, there are private collec-1 tions in Omaha of more than ordinary merit, but the visitor has but little chance of ever seeinK these. But if there were nothing else of a highly nature, the collections betore men tioned would be well worth a visit to Omaha to see.

By HENRIETTA M. REES. LASS lessons are considered I I in this editorial. The class I I lesson idea is a plan eee9Pial whereby a teacher essays Iwyi I t0 teacn tne uses of a VmXSf musical instrument to a class of pupils, instead of to individ ual pupils inprivate lessons. It is sup posed to be a scheme whereby people can get music lessons cheaper than would be possible, otherwise, but as a matter of. fact, this is not so. Class lessons are only successful in the practical study of an instrument as supplementary to individual lessons, where they have a place, and are of value in the advancement of general musical knowledge. Otherwise, in the opinion of many of, the leading local teachers they are but a makeshift, in which a vast amount of time and a considerable amount of money accom plishes a minimum of result. Really, they are the most expensive means of studying music. Even with the most competent teacher this is true, for . progress is necessarily slow, and governed by the dullest pupil in the class who con stantly holds the others back. The teacher cannot possibly give to each one of the pupils the undivided atten Leopold ObdovattT, who will appear. In a recital at tbe Brandeta tAeater on TveMar afternoon, February 20, under, the aaaplcea of the Ttieadajr Morning Mueleai olub. re cently appeared in Denver Jid in'' tsoe Angelea.

Mrs. Lonioe Sb&ttuck-Zabriskie, violinist, and Edith It. Wagoner, pianist, will present a novelty to Omaha awuencea in their forth coming sonata recital at the Fiiut Christian church, February 17. Although sonata re citals are given In many other cities, It just so happens that this is the first to be presented in Omaha. Both Mrs. Zabrtskle and Mrs. 'Wagones are popular In musical circles, where their talent and muscianshlp have won them hosts of friends. Tickets for this recital are now on sale at the music stores. Paul Reiberst tenor, who appears t the I Metropolitan Club House next Sunday after j noon. Is called the "Master of Lleder, Chan con and Folk Song." Mr. Reimers appeared 1 In Omaha before the Tuesday Morning Mu 1 Bical club and made an instantaneooc hit last season. His programs are most enjoy able, and the one to be given next Sunday afternoon wlll.be no exception. . . Madam Charlotte Lund, prima donna so- ! prano, comes to the Young Women's Christian association auditorium for a con : cert on the evening of February 28.

Marguerite Melville -Lhwntewska, pianist, will appear In recital at Brownell Itail for the benefit of the building fund. Saturday evening, March 3. Madame Melvllle-biss-ntewska is making her second American tour this year after many years spent abroad. For eight years, Mme Melvllle-Llsz-niewnka was assletant to the late Theodor Leschetlzky. She has toured Germany, Russia, England, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Holland and appeared as soloist with many famous orchestras. Madame Melvllle Mssnlewska is one of the few woman ever admitted into the Royal Maaterschool for composition in Berlin. Two of- her best known compositions are her sonata for violin and piano, which waa awarded a prise In Paris by distinguished judges, and a quintet which has been played by the celebrated Rose quartet of Vienna and Prof. Pessau of Berlin. Ons of Patrick O'Nell's pupils, William Hunt, goes to Red Oak this week to sing the double parts, Adama and Raphael, Id the "Creation.'' Miss Bovard, who has come from Des Moines to study with Mr. O'Nell, expects to make a career in light opera. - j Last Thursday evening pupils of Florence Basler-Pslmer gave a mualcal for the Ben Hur Lodge In the Lyric building, assisted by pupils of Miss Maekld, Mrs. Klttlesoo and Mr. Brill. This afternoon at 4:S0 o'clock at the Old Peonie s Home. 3214 Wirt street, a sacred concert will be given by pupils of Florence Basler-Palmer. ''The 8erer.aders," composed of perform or on tbe mandolin, guitar, banjo and ukelete, are planning to give a concert about the second week In March at Um First Chris, tian church. Francis Potter directs the or-, chaitra. A party of Omahans went to Arlington. Neb., Thursday to assist local musicians In giving the cantata of "Paradise," by J. W, Lerman. Mr. Eisner- directed the cantata, Mr. Carnal sang ths bass parts, Howard 3te berg, tenor; Mrs. Eisner, soprano, and Miss Partnella Bngte, contralto. Miss Mar guerite Carnal was the accompanist. Arling ton furnished a chorus of fifty voices. The words of Dr. Edward A. Rtrmety, a well known New York publicist, build up a baautiful picture of the all-powerful In fluence of music in the home circle: "Music in tbe family circles punas up ine inumaie. relations between parents and children, be-' tweeo sisters and brothers, that are the. basis of the finest feeling In life. Sharing In experiences such as hearing of the great master-pieces of music, brings the family circle closer. Music enlarges the life of the individual. Through mualc our own minds are strengthened and clarified. We are elevated so that we can ahare the experi ences of ths great human leaders. The najuilons. the emotions of life, moods of other times and of other people become our own. The things that can never be put into words are communicated by music.''

For these reasons it is only under rare circumstances that . good teachers will accept any class work of this kind and then only in small classes where they can listen carefully to unison work and devote as much time as possible to each member. , , But in the hands of the poorly pre pared or purely mercenary teacher the class lesson becomes -a deplorable abuse, and many are the hope and aspirations wrecked on account of it. Many also are the dollars which the teacher takes in under the false pre tense of teaching poor people or their children music, dollar which they can ill afford to spare. The class assumes large proportions, and the individual tone is swallowed up in the general mass of sound. The teacher can not possibly hear and correct each one. Wrong notes slip in, bad habits, are formed, and wrong musical ideas be come fixed in the mind, while the ear instead of being sharpened to dis criminate between tones, becomes in different to discord. For this kind of work each pupil in the class pays a fee almost equal to the sum he would have to pay for private lessons from a good teacher. Many times there are good young teachers just starting who would teach for almost the same j fee. Yet this kind of a teacher mav have from ten up in a class, thus re ceiving more for his time while he gives less knowledge than any t f q Vi r In nrmr I.maii. TIim It later the pupil wishes to go on with bis work, what is his dismay to find that he must unlearn all he has done and acquire new habits and a new point of view entirely. Nine times out of ten be becomes discour aged and gives it up, and a musical talent that with careful handling in the beginning might have been devel oped to bring much pleasure into the world is crashed out or blighted be yond recovery. Class lessons with but two or three in a class have been tried with fair success in some voice and piano studios. These have resolved them selves into short individual lessons for each one and whatever the pupil may learn from listening for the rest of (Conilriord era Page Free, Three,) hoowe.
