HE Nebraska State Music
I Teachers' association will
J I meet in Omaha April 1, 2
ana J, witn headquarters at
the Hotel Fontenelle. Musi
cians from over the state
will be present and partici
pate in the program. A large number
of Omaha musicians will also have a
prominent part. Mr. Willard Kimball
of Lincoln is president. The organi
zation meeting having been held in the
Capitol City, there are naturally more
"members from other parts of the
state than in Omaha. It is hoped that
the musicians and teachers of Omaha
will rally to.the support of this meet
ing and a large number of teachers
ivill send the annual dues, $1.50, to
the secretary, Jean Gilbert Jones,
1804 Farnam street, before 'the con
vention. This will entitle" them to
sctive membership and entrance to
all the meetings and concerts during
the sessions. Associate membership
dues are $1. A circular letter has
been sent out by Mr. Willard Kim
ball, asking that every teacher of
music in the community arrange to
attend the meetings, urging that the
value of the information to be re
ceived, the contact with the leaders
in the work, the programs, the re
citals and lound table conferences
will well repay for the time and ex
pense of attending. The complete
programs of the meeting will be an
nounced soon! The year book of the
organization has also been issued and
contains the constitution and bylaws,
the names of members and many in
teresting papers delivered before the
meetings of last year.
The production of the "Golden
Cockerel," by Rimsky Korsakov, at
the Metropolitan Opera as a panto
mime, the characters being acted by
the ballet and sung by the singers,
who were seated on two sides of the
stage, in oratorio style, was pro
nounced a success; Th4 story of this
unique fable is of an ola king who is
tired of war with his hostile neigh
bors and seeks a way to rest for
awhile. His astrologer presents him
with a cock of gold which will crow
whenever danger approaches. The
cock crows truly two or three times
and - the king, after losing his two
sons, goes to war and captures a
beautiful princess, whom he takes as
queen. He ides back to his city, the
young princess is bored and the old
king in a fit of rage kills the astrolo
ger. The cock then flies upon his
head and kills him. The play closes
with a short epilogue in which the
astrologer bids the audience to dry
its tears, since the whole story is but
fiction, that in the whole kingdom
of the Dodon there were but two real
human beings, himself and the
queen."
Music lovers in many lands mourn
to hear of the death of Cesar Cui, the
great Russian composer, whose pass
ing was announced last week. Cesar
Cui was a composer of operas, songs,
and pieces for the violin and piano.
He was also a music critic, and an au
thority on the subject of artillery, en
tering his career as a military engi
neer. His father was a French soldier
who settled in Russia after Napoleon's
defeat at Moscow, and was a man of
great intellect. He was a disciple and
ardent admirer of Balakirev. He
studied at the Imperial Academy at
Petrograd and was later instructor
there. He lectured upon the subject
of fortifications at the Artillery School
and Staff College, and at one time the
former Czar Nicholas II was his pupil
He wrote upon the subjects of artil
lery and gained a high place in mili
tary circles. He wrote criticisms for
the then St. Petersburg Gazette, and
later published a series of articles on
the music of Russia which gave him
a high position in musical circles, and
since 1864 has been a contributor to
various magazines with musical arti
cles. Before the war he was major
general and professor of fortifications
in a military school at Petrograd, and
president of the Imperial Russian Mu
sical society. He was a staunch sup
porter of the modern Russian school.
Cui is known principally in Qmaha for
some of his lovely choral composi
tions sang by .the Mendelssohn choir,
and by his mystic and popular violin
selection "Orientale," which never
fails to win the audience. The dis
tinguished composer was born in 1836
and would have been eighty-two this
year. s
Another death announced this week
was that of Phillipp Scharwenka, pro
fessor of the Hochschule der Musik
at Charlottenburg, Berlin, and a
brother of Otto H. Kahn, Robert
Kahn of Mannheim, has been called
to his place.
The announcement in the Musical
Courier is as follows: "The late Lud
wig Philipp Scharwenka was born
near Posen on February 16, 1847. His
parents removed to Berlin in 1865 and
his musical education was obtained
there in Kullak's "Neue Akademie'."
On completing his course, he re
mained in the institution as teacher
of tlfcory, leaving in 1881 to teach
composition at the newly opened con
servatory of his brother Xaver, who
survives him. . When Xaver came to
live in America in 1891, Philipp un
dertook the management of the insti
tution with Hugo Goldschnridt. In
1880 he married Marianne Stresow, a
violinist, who taught in the conserva
tory. He wrote many compositions,
especially for the piano, and was an
accomplished caricaturist as well.
Appoggiaturas.
The Musical Leader in an editorial
jays that the best thing the visit of
the Chicago Opera company did for
the metropolis was to stir the mem
bers of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany to greater efforts for success,
and that the visit to New York was a
splendid thing for both companies.
The following it also from the Mu
sical Leader: "Daniel Gregory Masdn
iu one of his charming books tells of
the poverty of Mozart because he re
fused to write in a more easy, popular
style. On one occasion he had no coal
and he and his wife were found waltz
ing in their apartment to keep warm.
Mr. Mason continues: 'Now. if Mo
zart could willingly face starvation
rather than lower his ideal of what
good music shouldbe, and if not only
he, but Bach and Beethoven and
A SONG OF HATE.
I hate noise.
Constant continuous discordant nols.
That jars my nerves and scraps my sen
sibilities. And so-called music which
Is nothing more than ordinary noise
Refined down to s finer point than din,
But just as harsh and disagreeable
So called music which
Is music not at all.
But dissonance that nsver really rets you
anywhere.
Ugh! How I hate the very sound of It
I hate singers, all of those
Who have good voices, maybe, but can't
sing.
Who never heard of music as an art;
Who think when nature has endowed them
thus with voice.
That that is all that needs be don by
them.
As if, a man who owns some timber has a
house.
How much I hate to have to hear them
sing.
I hate pianists, those who pound.
And thump and punch the poor piano keys.
With right and wrong notes Intermingled
there,
Notes long held over when they should not
be.
And smudgy smears of pedal everywhere.
Ana pianists wno never deign to play
Two hands (ogether all at one same time
But who with wiggly, wriggly crawling
runs.
Disintegrate all rhnrria wm1iaii.iI m...
I hate them more than any words can tell.
I hate the whole atrin? nlnvlnfl niitflf
They saw, and scrape and squeak and pluck
Lnetr siring!
In vain to draw a thought of music through,
And thus bring forth the sens of what they
play.
When never once they really sing ths song
Which under other bows one finds Is there.
I hat teachers, thos who sell
Their time and nothing mora to trusting
folk, 6
Who never hav a pupil with results.
Who could not sell much knowledge If they
would
Because they haven't very much to sell,
Who bluff along with people who don't
think.
I hat those pupils, too.
Who take their musle lessons right along.
But never study music, oh my, no. Or those
Who think they're don when they are not
half baked,
Who dream that they are wonders when
they're not.
I hat so-called musicians of all kinds.
When through their lack of skill they get
off key.
Now sharp or flat or something never there.
And when one finds
Their time distorted and the rhythm
spoiled, '
Through what they think Is Individuality
It Is.
I hate recitals, when I hear them given
By those who are not ready to appear,
Who play and sing the biggest master
works When they can only possibly get by
With great good luck in less pretentious
things.
Oh who would get by best
If only they would not appear at all
And spend their energies in other things,
Not music.
I hat them when I hav to listen to them,
I hate them more, if I must writ them up.
It is not news if things are ordfnary
It is news only when 'tis finely don.
I hate pianos, which
Are out of tune, and keyboards where
The dust grits on the key, or where
Neglected ivories just waiting lie.
All dark and aticky which you needs must
touch.
Some unresponsive to your coaxing hand,
Others which fall, but not to rise again,
I hate their wheezy pedals and the most,
I hate the whole experience of knowing
them.
I hate pipe organs usually found in church,
Where half the pipes are merely camouflage,
Where half the stops don't work, and thos
that do
Are always out of tune, and where the power
Gives out just when the player needs it
most.
I hate a lot of other things besides,
But why take time enumerating more,
And dragging out the bad, and not the good,
Found elsewhere if one only hunt it out!
It's silly, too, to hat wher humor lies,
But sad when humor's found where 'twas
not meant.
I hate this song of hate, for hate Is bad,
And fostered leads to worse, just as in Ger
many, The only land where hate is popular.
And why go downwards when w can go up,
Why let the bad one hates rule in the mind.
When that same time and effort can be
spent
With mental microscope sorting out good,
And searching for the things on cherishes.
How I hate hate.
Schumann and Schubert and scores
of others could even glory in being
poor and unknown and overworked
for the sake of making music, ought
not you and I to be glad to take some
trouble in order to appreciate it?'"
The address to which anyone who
is willing to give of his talent for the
half hour diversion on Tuesday eve
nings at Fort Crook should be sent

the address was left out' of the paper

When I get real disgusted with the
printer for touching up my spelling. I
look at other musical columns and see
that they are also assisted, and I
think of one critic whose column
spoke of a "terror robusto" and other
such. Last week the New York Amer
ican spoke of Hector Dufranne of the
Chicago Opera company as follows,
according to Musical America: "Hec
tor Dufranne, fiend of many years'
standing, more than lived up to his
former reputation."
The Red Cross netted $11,500 from

Dame Fashion with her trunks and

fairly outrivals Nature herself.
Not within memory have our stores
and shops displayed such countless
modes, such gay fancies and smart
fads as were shown during the
FASHION SHOW. "C'est la guerre'
has been responsible for those loveli
est of fashions for since Mara sent
out his edict that we must leave the
sterner stuffs for the men, our pa
triotism demands that we wear soft
satins, silks and sheer things and
clothes are more charmingly feminine
than ever before.
I hope all of yon who live in
Omaha or nearby towns explored
Stvlednm thin week. It was a treat
more than worth your while.
And now that the fashion snow
has settled all the questions about
styles, there is no need to wait a mo
ment longer. Easter is but two Sun
days off, and if you wish to join the
parade down the avenue, you'd best
decide on "your costume this very
week. AN "Over the Top" coat built on
strictly Tommy Atkins lines at
F. W. Thome's Uptown Shop, 1812
Farnam is by far the cleverest mili
tary model I've seen this season.
'T would certainly fire' any maiden's
heart with patriotism. The price is
$29.75, and it is made of rookie
brown cloth with one of those new
crossed Sam Brown shoulder belts.
A rack of $19.75 spic, span new coats
in velour, tweed, wool-pOplin, bur
ella and serge are quite worthy of
your attention for they 'are remark
able values at that price.
Foulard patterns are favorites' in
cotton dress goods. '
THE designers of some new
blouses I saw this week must
have worked with singing hearts, for
there was rhythm and poetry of
style expressed in every one of them.
Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" might
have been the inspiration for a blouse
of exquisite tea-rose Georgette em
broidered , on the deep collar and
frilly front with tiny blue forget-me-nots
in French knots. It was only
$10.75, though it looked several dol
lars more. Spring green, beige, coral,
lemon and that new delicate shade of
gray called "dawn" are colors shown
in many other captivating Georgette
blouses seen at Lamond's Smart
Shop, second floor Securities building.
The prices are $7.50, $8.75, $10.75 and
$12.50.
Silk mitten have been introduced
as a fitting accompaniment to the
Victorian period revival.
BLOOMING plants make such ac
ceptable Easter gifts, particularly
if gracefully arranged in pretty bas
kets and boxes by Lee Larmon and
his staff of flower-artists. With the
whole world experiencing the de
pressing effects of WAR, we must
not forget that this is the awakening
time of the year, and a gift of flowers
will make some distressed heart hap
pier. Send a beautiful potted lily this
Easter-tide to one who is less fortu
nate than yourself. Mr. Larmon will
have a beautiful display of Easter lil
ies, besides many other attractive
blooming plants and ferns. His flower
shop is in the Fontenelle Hotel.

NE of the joys of these shopping
tours of mine is the opportunity
to meet the people who really know
the "Who's Who," in fact, in the Big
Game of Women's Clothes. This
week while attending the Fashion
Show at Brandeis I had the pleasure
of a talk with Mr. Witte, formerly of
New York City, but now buyer of
ready-to-wear for this large depart
ment store. Omaha women should
indeed consider themselves fortunate
to have one with the ability of Mr.
Witte choose their'garmcnts, for his
long experience in the very heart of
fashion centers has made him a cri
terion of styles. After our talk I
was shown some very ultra suits
arrivals that very day from Fifth Ave
nue. Delighted! Indeed I was, for
each one possessed stylefulness plus.
A three-piece costume of serge and
foulard, copied from an original
Jeanne Lanvin, a Cheruit model in
Roshanara crepe. But I'm not going
to attempt a description of these
styles so fetching, styles so winsome,
for I know you'll want to see them
for yourself when you visit Brandeis'
Store.
Organdy frocks with organdy, or
lace hats, are charming.
THERE are some new Hostess
Frocks of Georgette and Mar
quisette at Herzberg's Women's Tog
gery that are perfectly hypnotic in
their charm of individuality. One
can't picture them, one can't imagine
them they are so indescribably
lovely! One which particularly ap
pealed to me as having been touched
by the finger tips of art was of deli
cate, white, finely pleated marquis
ette over which a jumper effect ex
tending into a long panel in front and
back was elaborately braided with
white soutache braid. The graceful
girdle was caught at the side of the
back by a large, white ivory buckle,
from which hung sash ends. It was
priced $40.5Q, and is only one of sev
eral allwhite frocks some embroid
ered, others heavily beaded, but each
distinctively unlike in their rare
beauty. If you're considering a din
ner frock, do see these at this shop,
1517 Douglas.
New lantern lamps with painted
panels of silk inset in light gray wood
frames impressed me as being the
most fairy-like things imaginable for
a sun-room, or a daintily furnished
summer cottage. Priced $2 to $3.75.
THOSE beautiful and decidedly
elaborate embroidered ' designs
which yqu admired so much on gowns
displayed at the Fashion Show this
week may be accurately reproduced
at The Idea! Button and Pleating
Company, third floor of the Brown
Block. The operators in this shop
have had years of experience and you
can trust them with the sheerest fab
ric and most intricate pattern. Talk
with Manager VanMehren about the
trimming on your new Spring gown.
Silk is combined with wool jersey
in one-piece dresses.

modest with self tone stitching, or
stunningly effective with white. These
are priced $2, $2.50 and $3.25. The
pastel and gray tones are also fa
vored suit gloves, while white, with

than ever this season. You can al

being of beautiful quality, so I sug
gest that you buy your Easter gloves
there.
Organdie collars and cuffs are
shown in a variety of colors and de
signs, and tiny ruffles are very much
liked on the simple straight bands
which come in various widths. In
the stores this is called Mignon

npHE Spring and Summer wardrobe
of women who follow closely the
trend of fashion is not complete this
season without several separate
skirts. At F. W. Thome's Uptown

this is tlje season when we do

to tell you that these beautiful snow

much to us of joy and peace at
Easter-tide will be shown this year
as usual, despite the difficulties the
florists hav had in securing the
bulbs by shipment from Japan. Mr.
John Bath, at 1804 Farnam has a
wonderful supply of Easter Lilies
and he assures me that if the prices
are increased at all it will be but
slightly. Better call Mr. Bath at
