HE PRINCIPAL miisiral
I I event of the week will be
1, I the reappearance of Mrs.
toward MacDSwell, which
will take place Saturday
evenine. February 2. at the
Young Women's Christian association
auditorium, under the auspices of the
MacDowell club of Omaha. Ms.
MacDowell will play several numbers
of MacDowell music, and will inter
sperse her playing with remarks about
the composer and his various com
positions. Slides of the artist colony
at Peterborough will also be presented
as a part of the program. Mrs. Myron
Learned, former musical editor of The
Bee and an enthusiast in musical af
fairs saw these slides in Chicago when
a special program was given by the
State Historical society in honor of
Mrs. MacDowell. This is a very
select society, and after Mrs. Mac
Dowell's program Mrs. Learned met
Mr. and Mrs. Lorado Taft, Mr. and
Mrs. Hamlin Garland, and others of
importance in the art life of the coun
try, who had remained for a brief
chat with the widow of America's
greatest composer. Mrs. Learned is
1 looking forward to the coming appear
- ance 01 Mrs. MacJJoweu, and says
that the slides are well worth seeing
Mrs. MacDowell has appeared before
fine arts' societies and musical clubs
in all of the leading cities, and has
met with gratifying success, and a
continual growth of popular favor.
This recital and lecture is a benefit,
half of the proceeds go to the sup
port of the Peterborough colony for
creative workers, and half goes toward
the establishment of a home there for
50 convalescent soldiers.
Mr. Borglum, musical editor of the
World-Herald and president of the
Omaha MacDowell club in his column
last week, set out that a three-fold
af peal is made to music lovers of
Omaha and patriotic citizens by this
concert, but he left one out It is a
four-fold appeal. Three are as he
stated:
"First, MacDowell, as America's
greatest composer, will have his com
positions presented by one whose in
timate knowledge of his life and works
enable her to give her listeners tradi
tions which are not possible through
the printed editions.
"Secondly, the Peterborough me
morial needs encouragement so that
tht creative talent of this country may
be given full opportunity for develop
ment, and not wrecked in the prime
of life as was Edward MacDowell.
"Third, the patriotic side of the
movement is one that deserves espe
cial attention at this time. The young
men who have been through the
trenches must be .given the best of
care so that they may recover and be
returned to normal life. They will
sacrifice everything for us at home
and we owe it to them to provide suit
able places for recuperation."
The fourth appeal is that it affords
an opportunity to spend a most de
lightful and enjoyable evening. There
is not a dull moment, and both the
charming personality of Mrs. Mac
Dowell and the interest of her sub
ject make one feel well repaid for at
tending. Under the auspices of the Tuesday
Musical club an event of especial in
terest will be the appearance ot iidith
L. Wagoner, pianist, and Mrs.
David Stone, mezzo soprano, at the
Boyd theater, Wednesday evening,
February 6,, in the fourth concert of
the season's seres. Mrs. Stone, whose
beautiful voice is well remembered by
her many friends, is a former Omaha
girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Hoagland, and a great fa
vorite in social and musical circled.
m a private musical last year Mrs.
Stone charmed many by her delight
ful singing. Mrs. Wagoner for some
years has made a practice of giving
at least one recital each season, and
needs no introduction to an Omaha
audience. Her only appearance this
year will be on the evening of Feb
ruary 6. Mrs. Wagoner has been
spoken of many times in the columns
of this paper for her excellent
pianism. A former pupil of Mac
Dowell, Mrs. Wagoner in her playing
reveals the results of splendid school
ing. She does more, for she is a
pianist who thinks out what she plays
And interprets it accordingly, to the
evident satisfaction of her audiences.

BRILLIANT BOY SOPRANO
SINGS IN OMAHA " SS
young man in question and Mr. Ben
Stanley of Trinity Cathedra! has en
gaged him as soloist. He has sung
with this choir for two Sundays and
last Sunday I heard him. His voice
is of lovely rich quality. It is
full and sweet and has that purity of
tone so often associated with the boy
soprano. His high notes are excep
tionally flutelike and the low ones are
just as pretty as the high. For a lad
of his years he sings extremely well
and displays much talent. His
enunciation is very clear and he uses
his voice without the least effort. Boy
sopranos are rare and Mr. Stanley is
fortunate in being able to engage one
who is so well equipped.
This is not George's first public
singing. With his parents he has re
cently moved here from Fargo, N. D.,
where he studied in the Dakota Con
servatory of Music. While in that
city he took part in local theatricals
and in many concert programs, and
his services were constantly in de
mand. He also filled an engagement
with the Orpheum theater there and
received a cordial letter from the
management upon his success. George
attends the Central school, where he
is In the sixth 8rdc.
Robert Cuscaden has heard Jascha
Heifetz play. Aad by the way, he
says it is pronounced "Hayfetz." It
was seven years ago when Mr. Cus
caden was in Berlin: The orchestra
tion was the Berlin Philharmonic at
one of the big N'kisch subscription
concerts. It had been announced that
the 10 year old prodigy would play
the Tschaikowskv concerto. Now of
all concertos the Tschaikowsky is the
ambition and the bugbear of every
violinist. It is the most difficult to
interpret, and the most tricky to
'av. " Nikisch led him out, a slight,
y headed boy, dressed in a black
,et suit with white lace collar. He
used a three-quarter size violin.
There he stood, this little boy with a
little violin, ready to play a wonder
ful concerto with . one of the most
important orchestras of the world.
"And never." said Mr. Cuscaden, "did
I hear playing that was more perfect
or more mature from any finished
artist Tears were running down my
cheeks and half of the audience was
crying. One almost expected to see
an angel hovering over him." Short
ly after this appearance, Jascha Heif
etz disappeared from public view,
continuing his studies and general
education until his recent re-appearance.
Mr. Cuscaden met a cousin of
Heifetz in Boston, who said that he
seemed to have always known how
to play the violin, that all the instruc
tion he had needed was merely to be
guided in the selection of what he
should take up next in the order of
playing.
Some of us who heard Guilfcert the
other evening are wondering if we
would not be able to get something
of the same effect from her songs,
if we could hear them sung by an art
ist like George Hamlin, Julia Culp or
Oscar Seagle. Mme. Guilbert inter
prets for the audience what she her
self sees in these lovely old ballads,
and in spite of the handicap of her
poor singing voice, by her remarka
ble art of graphic portrayals, she
makes seem real all that they sug
gest to her imagination. Interpreted
with art through a flexible and color
ful voice how much would these same
songs suggest to our imaginations
without the acting? I wonder. We
might get the idea but would we get
all the idealism? I hardly believe we
could imagine such wonderful cos
tumes as those which Guilbert wears.
If we could we are wasting our time
at our customary duties in Omaha.
They made her appear not only a
person, but a presence. It is said
that "One. touch of nature makes
the whole world kin." Not only
through one but through many of
these touches, manifested by an art
of acting developed to its zenith,
Mme. Guilbert endears herself to her
hearers. Through her indefatigable
labors she presents an artistic enter
tainment which is entirely individual
and unlike any other which is offered
to the public of today.
I did not like the arrangement of
"Deep River" by Sam Franko, which
was played by Miss Gresser the other
evening, nearly as well as the Maud
Powell arrangement of the Coleridge
Taylor setting of the same mlody,
did you?
Ayone who has attained any grat
ifying success in artistic endeavor
and . especially creative work knows
the truth of what Emerson has said,
"The oracle speaks becanse we hare
laid seige to the shrine." Isn't that
a delightful remark?

"The two new organ numbers played by
Miss Loretta DeLone last Sunday and compos

worshipers at St, Mary Magdalen'a church
during the special noon day service. Al
though Hiss DeLone hat given most of her
time for the past few years to harp concert
programs and teaching, she has kept in
touch with all that concerns the king of in
struments, and bat from time to time com
posed some preludes and offertories for the
pipe organ. Many hearty congratulations

January the montli of white sales
and Bargains in .eady-to-wear, but ow
ing to the exodus t Palm Beach,
California, San Antonio and other
fashionable winter resorts, it has be
come the time when we gel our first
glimpse of spring styles. The earliest
harbinger of all is the hat for the
southern traveler. Seeral Omaha
Hat Shops have been displaying it,
and already has it made its bow at
the matinees, in our hotel dining
rooms and occasionally on the street
accompanied by the fur muffled gar
ments of winter. Thi roidseason af
fair is usually the piquant close-fitting
turban, particularly comfortable for
the journey southward.
The new veil, with its delicate
tracery of flowers, dots or conven
tionalized pattern, when pinned
snugly over the hat certainljr gives to
the wearer an air quite fascinatjng.
The frocks and coats I saw this
week designed for sunny southern
wear are charming, but cleverly sim

hour or so, after your strenuous work
at the Red Cross rooms, why not do
a little window shopping? You'll en

HARBINGERS OF SPRING.
JUT before the buds come and
bringing sweet assurance of the
coming Springtime are the new silks
at Thompson, Bclden's. Mr. Hazen
took down bolt after bolt of these
beautiful shimmering fabrics to show
me, when I visited the Silk Section
of this store the other day. First of
all, I want to tell you about the new
foulards, for as you know, they have
been heralded by our Style Maga
zines as the very smartest thing for
spring frocks. These ar shower
proof and do not esily muss, and are
therefore very practical for the
southern traveler. The designs are
simply stunning! Large coin dots,
and small dots, and groups of dots in
harmonious color combinations form
ing diamond-shaped figures, criss
cross black lines with here and there
a colored dot or rosebud. Foulards
are $2.50 a yard (double width). Then
there are the Hindu and Moon-Glo
crepes, so soft-toned and modish,
which fall in with every whim and
fold of fashion. And the taffetas for
taffeta frocks and suits will be im
mensely popular. Yof'H want to visit
this store and see these perfectly
beautiful silks. .
The ornaments of- a home are the
friends who frequent it, and oc
casionally the things a friend gives
you. The little things about the
house should be chosen with the ut
most consideration. (Witness the
White Elephant Sale!) I do want to
impress this upon you, and to urge
you to go for these things to people

Dear Readers
JUST FOR YOU (
FOR THE WINTER RESORT
WARDROBE.
O HI DID you see the beautiful dis-
play of Fashiont for The
Southland in Brandeis' Seventeenth
and Dmtcrla
' " w v x. , niiiuvnsj S4C1
week? Made me think of the first
arrivals at a party, all palpitant with
anticipation, did the appearance of
these charming new styles. There
. were six lovely models, each one vy
ing with the other for its share of the
admiring glances of passersby. Two
all-white Sport costumes fairly '
seemed to bring with them the
healthy radiance of outdoors. One
of these was an elegantly braided
suit in the new Roshanara crepe, that
beautiful material which lends itself
so amicably to graceful draping, yet
is practical enough to give the de
sired protection against the chill wind
on the sands of the Southern seas.
And then there was a frock of rose
petaled Georgette "Delicious" I
heard someone say and two very '
smart affairs of foulard and taffeta.
Besides this window display, Bran
deis has some distinctively "differ
ent" dress and suit styles in serge,
tricotine, gabardine and poiret twill.
One can get very good ideas f the
fashions to come just by looking st
those at this splendid store,

A BOON TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
fj HANGEABLE weather will
Y , probably dull your polished,
furniture, especially mahogany, which
gets' dull and clouded. I was so
happy to find a real remedy for this
in IVORY FURNITURE POLISH,
which not only removes til cloudi
ness, but is really the best polish I
have ever used. It is made by the
Orchard & Wilhelm company and
used by them on their own furniture.
You may procure this from your
dealer if you live in the country, or
from Orchard & Wilhelm in Omaha
at 50c the bottle.

FOR A PRETTY COIFFURE. !
VERY tfme I visit the little shop
- at 772 Brandeis Building, wheru
the Franco-American Toilet Requis
ites are sold, I learn something I
can't resist telling you about. This
week I was shown what Mrs. Hum
phrey, manager of the shop, clls a -"Frizze
Force," a pompadour made
of natural, wavy hair. 'Twas really
beautiful! If you have thin, straggly,
hair, I would certainl?" advise you to
visit the shep and order somo. extra
pieces of hair. Every shads and
texture of hair can be matched,
and as it comes from the peasantry
of Europe, it's the best quality hair "
in the world. SHAMPUGIENJS. a
dry shampoo, and BRILLAVT-
GIENE, for general use, sold at this
shop for 50c. arc excellent to nuke
your hair soft, clean and fluffy.
Now wishing OUR COUNTRY, to
serve,
Each woman b asked to conserve;
So we needs must resort
To goods of a sort
Not of wool to keep that in reserve.
Wool-saving has wrought quite a
change
And fashion has sought a wide range
Of satin, or crepr a
Or silk let me state. ,'
In "entirety" used seems most ' ,
strange.
A braided frock made of Shantung,
A sleeveless white jacket among
Many others in style
Would be dainty the whiler 11
And white satin s praises are sung.
Now neckwear has surely its place,
Made of organdie, satin, or lace,
But what ould you think
Of a new fashion "kink"
Letting "gingham" come Into the
race?
