iHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 3, 1918.
MUSIC
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
w a rlHAT an interesting pianist
VV I Harold Bauer is. Looking
manv excellencies impress
anew in connection with the various
numbers. Take his Beethoven play
ing, for example. How much he made
out of it. Each movement was a
mirror of the musical thoughts
Bauer found expressed in the music
of Beethoven. And Mr. Bauer found
therein so many good things to
stimulate his interest and fire his
enthusiasm that he passed them on
for the audience to hear and enjoy.
And because he heard and enjoyed
them from a musical standpoint they
also did, for an audience hears and
enjoys from the same point of view
from which the virtuoso interprets.
Then the sympathy with which he
presented the "Scenes from Child
hood," by Schumann. Each was de
picted with an intuitive understand
ingthat gave it a touch of humor, or
wonder, or thoughtfulness, as the
composer had desired, while through
it all, possibly because it was music,
and music can express so many
things under favorable conditions,
one felt the marvel of childhood.
A great deal is in the composer, and
a great deal is also in the interpreter.
His Chopin and his Liszt were also
full of delights, and were added proof
that Mr. Bauer thinks and feels as
well as plays. The Air de Ballet, by
Gluck Saint Saens was a most ex
quisite number that really was de
serving of exceptional mention.
Quaint, charming, evanescent, it was
fascinating piano music.
One of the main reasons for the
enjoyment of hearing Harold. Bauer
is probably his attitude toward ( his
music. He seemed to be saying "See
how beautiful this is," to take the
hearers into his confidence about it,
and to let them feel his enthusiasm
for it. As a consequence the audi
' ence responds accordingly. What
ever the conscious or subconscious
s attitude of an interpreter of music
the listener usually gets it If one
thinks "See how cleverly I do this
one hears with that idea, or if one
plays from the purely physical ex
hilaration of technical display, the
audience feels that more than the
aesthetic enjoyment.
Never in our wildest moments did
we say that "the more serious scenes
were presented with 'suite' finish and
restraint by Mr. Bauer" last Wednes
day evening, even though it did ap
pear in The Bee that way the next
day. We do not remember exactly
what the word was, but it was an
adjective at least; it may have been
"such." Sometimes it is a wonder to
us that the poor printer gets as much
right as he does in the vast amount
of copy which he has to set up. An
other thing we said was that Mr.
Bauer achieves "many novel effects
by his use of the pedal, nis metnoas
in this being uncommon as well as
effective." which came out as many
more effects." By the way, pianists,
did you notice the frequent and
judicious use Mr. Bauer made of the
sostenuto pedal, a pedal which few
pianists seem to know very much
about Harold Bauer once said in an
interview "Strange as it may seem,
it is nevertheless a fact that the aver
age pianist knows nothing of the con
struction of the piano, being in many
cases entirely unaware of such simple
things as how the tone is produced.
The functions of the pedals is as un
kown to them as geology is to the
coalheaver."
Isn't that a lovely comparison? And
it is true. But Mr. Bauer knows the
functions of the pedals, and he uses
them. He knows the construtcion of
the piano, and its possibilities, and
limits. He therefore makes the most
of the one and never oversteps the
other. It is not a teachers' fault if
pupils do not know these things
either. A teacher can not get every
thing into say two half hour lessons
a week, no matter how well equipped
he may be. I don't believe Mr. Bauer
got them from any teacher. The great
est aid to individual piano playing
is an inquiring mind, in which the
think-tank keeps persistently running.
And this kind of mind must belong
to the wouldbe player himself, and not
to his teacher nor his fond mamma,
nor to anybody else he knows. Such
a mind generates enthusiasm, and en-

The following glowing tribute to August
M. Borglum and his work appeared in the
Musical Leader of Chicago February 14,
1918, by Nora Babbitt Harsh of Des Moines,
la.: "A musical genius is August M. Bor
glum of Omaha. It was a joy and surprise
upon visiting that city to find such a
teacher of piano. After hearing a child of
WOMEN, dear: Did you ever
stop to think of the influence
your clothes have upon your house
hold and your friends as well as upon
yourself? No thoroughbred American
woman these days can afford to look
dowdy and unattractive if she wishes
to share in promoting a cheerful at
mosphere throughout the country.
This is no time for long faces and
solemnity of attire rather let us wear
happy countenances and cheerful
clothes, for through their influence
can we cast about us a spirit of cour
age and optimism.
Harmonious dressing, appropriate
styles and becoming colors give us a
peaceful, satisfied state of mind, and
in looking well we are pleasing others
beside ourselves and setting a good
example to dress becomingly.
When that soldier boy of yours re
turns on furlough, do make it a point
to wear your very prettiest clothes I
'Twill prove your cheerfulness, and he
will go back to camp with a renewed
spirit because he knows you are brave.
Let's consider it a joy, 'as well as
a duty to dress well. Wear cheerful
clothes this Spring!

ruptly in the back. This is piquant

striking little military figure,
as I paused to gaze into the attractive
show windows of Herzberg's
Women's Toggery at 1517 Douglas
Street and so martial did it appear
in its soldierly suit of khaki colored
jersey cloth, that I was instinctively
forced to raise my hand in .'"salute.
This uniform is as perfectly tailored
as any Sammie's, with its closely but
toned high collar, military pockets,
knapsack, crossed belt and shoulder
straps and if you're a true little pa
triot you'd just love to wear it The
price, I was told, is $34.50. There's a
trim turban of exactly the same color
to top off this military outfit Quite
in contrast, the opposite window

with a handsomely braided Georgette
blouse, over which is a sleeveless
coatee of rose-pink. 'Tis ultra and

TJAVE you seen the sleeveless
coatees? Such new ideas as they
do express I And aren't they just the
smartest sort of accompaniment for
light frocks, or separate skirts?

10 play with the physical and mental poise
of an advanced musician, one understood
how his artist pupils had attained such dis
tinction. At one recital we recall 600 per
sons crowded into a small hall, all standing
room occupied. When people stand for
nearly two hours to hear a piano recital
given by children, it is an event. Mr. Bor
glum is a great teacher. While his pupils
are individual, their teacher shines through
them in artistic insight, technical resource
and masterly interpretation.. Omaha must
consider Mr. Borglum one of her greatest
assets. He is a faithful adherent to the
teachings of Wager Swayne, with whom he
has -coached.

frocks! Mr. Hazen at the Silk Sec

simply go into ecstacies of delight
Moon-Glo crepes in silver gray,

This material is in a very heavy

new skirtings of Fairway silk for
Sports wear checks, plaids, stripes
and plain colors. But what impressed
me most of all were the absolutely
new sheer, printed silk voiles, some
in the spidery Batik patterns, and ar
tistically blended colors.
To wear a silk coat this Spring is
an act of patriotism, for we must con
serve the wool.
In the Garden of Fashion
THERE is a veritable garden of
-1- Spring styles abloom at F. W.
Thome's Uptown Shop at 1812 Far
nam, and one of the fairest blossoms
there, waiting to be picked by Milady,
is an exquisite frock of indestructible
voile in a wonderful black and white
Batik pattern. Brilliant King's blue
velvet seen in the bow at the back of
the neck, girdle and buttons, is a dar
ing though decidedly becoming em-'
bellishment. The bit 6f Duchesse lace
at the throat, the French mantel back
and flowing angel sleeves are other
charming characteristics of this lovely
frock. Priced $49.50 but it looks
many dollars more!
Hop sacking is one of the newest
fabrics for coats.
Congenial companions
P HIS costume will immediately win
x your affection! A skirt of heavy
white satin, whose companion is a
stunning blue velvet trench jacket.
White satin graces the collar, lining
of the pockets and pipes the button

at Lamond's, second floor Securities
Building.
Jet will continue to be a favored

Footwear for the Fastidious
G 3152 There! that number doesn't
mean anything in particular to
you, does it? But when you've heard
my little tale about the beautiful pearl
gray kid boots, of which it is the style
number, you'll want to jot it down
so as to ask to see them when you
visit Napier's Booterie. This ultra
footwear, with its nine-inch lace top,
light hand welt sole and pretty kid
covered French heel is of a shade of
light gray available only in imported
leather. The price is $15. Cash mail
order prepaid subject to refund. Mr.
Napier says he will be so glad to open
out-of-town charge accounts if refer
ences are sent with order.

they are of taffeta, and are actually

For the Refurbishing of the Home
T UST about now we are thinking of
many improvements in our
homes the living room, for instance,
which has been heavily used during
the winter months, seems to require
more attention than the other part of
the house. While shopping at Or
chard & Wilhelm's I visited their
third floor and discovered a really
wonderful assemblage of overstuffed
furniture, upholstered for the most
part in tapestry, velours and damasks.
It was a showing in every "respect
worthy of our larger eastern cities.
Omaha people who are confronted
with the problem of making their liv
ing room more attractive and com
fortable will do well to pay an early
visit.

HERE'S news indeed! The beauti
ful little French Hat Shop of
Drahos-Luttig'a at 1706 Douglas will
have an informal opening on Monday
and Tuesday this week and you're in
vited to see the Spring styles in dress
and sport hats. I had the pleasure
of the first peep at several of these,
and each was an individual little crea
tion with a Spring song about it.
You'll not be able to resist the be.
witching coquetry of the lovely new
hats at this shop.
A friend of mine en route from New
York to the coast stopped over In
Omaha for a day this week. Such
beauteous things did she have direct
from Lucile's. Among them was a
stnock of checked silk gingham, very
simply yet effectively made with a
wide pleatel organdy collar and
cuffs, embroidered in an American
Beauty shade of yarn. A yarn rose
added, the ultimate touch. Lucile's
price for these simple smocks is $55.
Yon can buy identically the same silk
in Omaha and. make one yourself for
a mere fraction of that amount
Gems of unsurpassed loveliness
PINK diamonds!- Did you ever see
one? I did not even know of the
existence of these rare gems until
shown one this week at Albert Ed
holm's jewelry shop on the corner of
Sixteenth and Harney streets. So
unique was the beauty of this stone
with its faint flush of color, it made
one wonder if it were not reflecting
the pink-petaled fairness of a rare,
exotic rose from Omar's garden. This
diamond is valued at $1,200 and
weighs a trifle over a carat. And
think of it, dear readers, my eyes ac
tually beheld a necklace of perfectly
matched pearls valued at $4,300. O,
such a joy is it to see these wonderful
things!
The Mainstay of a Woman's Ward
robe. THE proper foundation! Aye, my
dears, that's the secret to a cer

exceedingly well-groomed women.

A Popular Family
THE whole TAN FAMILY! No.
I'm not trying to be profane, but
this family has aroused so much in
terest in Fashion's circles this season,
and if you want to see it all you'll find
it represented among the trim top
coats at F. W. Thome's Uptown
Shop, 1812 Farnam. There are tan,

In the Spring a woman's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of SWEAT
ERS! WHEN the season comes that
brings hints of the wonderful
out-of-doors, of blue skies, soft mead
ows, golf and club-house verandas,
one's thoughts are very much associ
ated with that useful and decorative
article of feminine apparel, the
Sweater! At Thompson-Belden's I
saw some very new styles made of
Shetland flors of the becoming slip
over variety. These were in harmoni
ous two-tone effects pink with gray,
old rose, with tan, buftan with a light '
tan shade, turquoise blue with tan
the wide sailor collar being fashioned '
of soft Angora wool. Priced $9 50.
There , are some beauties of Spring
green and other new shades for $7.50.
Muffs made of flowers will be 'worn
with dressy suits of silk this spring.
If you're fond of pictures
HAVE you eyer delved into those
deep floor portfolios at the
Hospe Art Shop containing pictures
in sheet form? If you're fond of pic
tures this is indeed a treat, for you'll
find there many of your favorites
from old masterpieces, besides many
recent works' of art; each case con
taining a different series, such as steel
engravings, carbon photos, reproduc
tions, mezzotints and various color
productions. A half-hour while wait
ing for a friend could thus be pleas
antly and profitably spent at this
shop, 1513 Douglas.
A florist who pays attention to
details
LAVENDER and deep pansy pur
ple sweetpeas, with Easter lilies
was the chosen combination for one
of the most beautiful funeral wreaths
I have ever seen. They had just com
pleted the grouping of the flowers and
tied on the bow of lavender chiffon
when I happened into John Bath's
Flower Shop at 1804 Farnam, last
Thursday morning. Mr. Bath's floral
arrangements for funerals are so ar
tistically lovely, so perfect in every
detail, that it is a source of the utmost
satisfaction to order flowers from him
when a loved one has passed away.
His blankets of flowers to cover the
coffin are beautiful. , '
A little bit o' snowing,
A little bit o blowing,
A bit o' sunshine glowing,
And winter lingers on.
A bit o' green a-showing,
A-shopping now we're going.
New garments homeward towing,
For winter'll soon be gone.
A hat and a gown
For the sweetest maid in town.
A boot or a shoe
Exactly styled for you.
Diamonds and pearls
For the wealthiest of girls.
