MUSIC!
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
PLANS of the music department
of the Omaha Woman's club
for the season are so progres
ive and interesting, and so different
roni anything we have had in the
Musical line, that everyone interest
d in the welfare of music in our
ity should know about them, and
;noving, one can not help but ap
reciate their value and desire to
akc an active part in them. For
nese plans mean tne encourage
nent of music locally, and real gen
n'ne encouragement at that.
The Music department realizes
hat just as a person's standing in
the world depends (in spite ot all
struggles to the contrary) upon
what he himself is, so the stan
dards of music in a community
ire gauged by the music
which is contained in it, rather than,
'as some might think, the music
which passes through it. If the
standards of the community are
high, and the influence of music,
and the work in it broad and gen
eral, the musical events which come
from the outside are not going to
lack for patronage, but instead, they
will find a ready response, and dis
criminating listeners.
The plans of the Music depart
ment are made up of three distinct
parts. The first is a series of con
certs by leading local artists to be
held at the Y. W. C. A. auditorium
etween the last week in November
md the last week in February. This
vill afford the opportunity for prov
ng their interest in the music of
.heir city to hundreds of music lov
:rs. There are many who do not
now what high class professional
laient there is in our community,
nd yet, if it isn't their business to
.now, whose is it?
It will also afford to all who at
end, the opportunity of enjoying
ix really worth while recitals for
t price which is almost a joke it
s so reasonable only two doliars
or the season ticket. The person
al of these artists will be an
louuced in the near future, and will
ontain many of our best known mti
.ici;iis. Too much can not be said
n favor of the public spiritedness of
(lie Music department in backing
this project, in offering so much
good music for so small a sum,
md the house should be sold out
or the series.
The second part of the plan is
0 develop the Music department into
1 i regular amateur musical club,
n which the talent for the bi
:nuiithly meetings wiil be drawn
'roni the membership entirely. This
.vill encourage the local amateur,
who has studied earnestly and long,
but who has not entered the pro
fessional field, to keep up her music.
It will afford her a chance to hear
Others and also to be heard, and
tvill serve to bring together people
with congenial musical tastes.
The third part of this plan is a
continuation of the ladies' chorus
under Mr. Henry G. Cox. This chorus
was formed from the membership
last year, and a fair start was made.
Besides the regular choral work,
community singing will be taken up,
and points on directing will be given
by Mr. Cox.
The Music department has laid
out a comprehensive program for
itself, and success should crown its
efforts. An organized scheme of
support lias been needed by our lo
cal music for some time, and much
credit is due Mrs. V. E. Shafer,
the director of the Music department
and her assistants for their work
in its behalf. The membership fee
is reasonable, and special rates will
be made to girls from the studios
of Omaha teachers. The season
tickets for the concerts are almost
nominal in price. It now rests with

the music lovers and public-minded
citizens to do their part.
When Cleofonte Campanini leads
his organization under the banner
of the Chicago Opera Association to
Milwaukee on Monday, he will enter
upon his 12th season of grand opera
in America. When Oscar Hammer
stein began his first season at the
Manhattan in competition with Hie
Metropolitan opera house in New
York lie brought Campanini to
America as a tower of strenght to
match Toscanini, the first conductor
of the rival house. After the four
seasons of the Manhattan company,
when the Metropolitan directors
brought Hammerstein out, they in
duced Campanini to take the entire
organization and its equipment to
riiiraco. vherp it has continued for
seven successful seasons under his
guidance. Last winter he took tins
Chicago-grown institution back to
the scene of his first American tri
umphs New York and the entire
organization, sffrs, chorus, orchestra
and all, scored the most remarkable
success any visiting company has
ever made there. Evidence of this
is the alacrity with which New York
music lovers are subscribing for its
second season there opening next
January, for which the reservations
are so great that every performance
will be completely sold out by sub
scription before the regular box of
fice sale opens.
The tour of the Chicago company,
just now beginning, brings it to the
Auditorium for two nights only, No
vember 1 and 2. Two sets of stars
are to appear: Fermstad, Paklanoff,
Ciccolini, Nicolay, Trevisan, Amazar,
Duan and Defrere in "Tosca" the
first night, with Campanini conduct
ing, and Galli-Curri, Stracciari,
Carpi. Arimondi, Trevisan. Claes
sens and Defrere in "The Barber of
Seville" the second night, with
Sturani conducting.
Mme. Fremstad has a peculiar
psychological method of learning an
operatic role. She memorizes the
words first, as she "must know what
it is all about." Then she fits the
words to the music. With this
technical preliminary accomplished,
she studies the story of the opera
its libretto as a whole and con
siders the probable movements and
actions of her colleagues in the cast.
Inventing her own dramatic action
and welding it with the words and
music which she has learned, she
shapes the whole into harmonious
music drama. Then she is ready
for rehearsal with ' others of the
cast. At rehearsals she even ob
serves the orchestration, having al
ready worked out a general ac
quaintance with it through study of
the piano score. Thus she makes
every unit of the performance a
direct accessory to her personal in
terpretation. All of which explains
how the foremost critics of Europe
and America consider each perform
ance by Mme. Fremstad a finished
work of art. It was such genius and
labor that made her the leading por
trayer of the title role of "Tosca," in
which she will appear with the Chi
cago Opera company.
Jacques Thibaud, the brilliant vio
linist, who is now engaged in his
third tour of America, has been
booked by the Bureau of Publicity
of the Omaha Commercial club and
will appear at the Omaha Auditor
ium Friday evening, November 8.
Admission will be only to members
of the Nebraska State Teachers' as
sociation, whose annual convention
is there in session.
Thibaud was a soldier of the First
French Army during the present
war. His duties were of a hazard
ous character and he acquitted him
self with credit. His injuries were
serious and his recovery slow. He
is now under leave of absence. Ihi
baud is 38 years old, gained a
Premir Prix at the Paris Conserva
tory at the age of 16, made his first
tour of America at the age of 23,
second tour at the age of 33.
Appoggiaturas.
Edith L. Wagoner, one of Om
aha's leading pianists, has been en
gaged to give the opening recital
or the Schubert club at St. Paul,
Minn., on October 23.
i
James Huneker, one of the lead
ing musical writers and critics of
the present time, has been engaged
as chief critic of the New York
Times. Last season? he was as
sociated with Philadelphia Press,
and for many years he has been
known for his books upon music
and musicians, and special articles
upon related arts. i
Pierre Monteux, temporary con-j
ductor of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, tells in the Boston Her
ald, that in May, 1914, four months
before the war began, Richard
Strauss and his wife were in Paris,
for the production of his ballet,
"Joseph," which Monteux had pre
pared for him. As she came into
the opera house for the reheasal the
wife of the composer looked around
and said "M. Mojiteax, this beautiful

Amelita Galli-Curci, John Mc
Cormack, Jascha Heifetz, and Enrico
Caruso joined forces in a memorable
concert in Carnegie Hall, New York
City, in aid of the fourth Liberty
loan, and raised $4,304,000 in bonds.
Riccardo Stracciari, baritone, is
one of the particular stars who will
be heard in Omaha in connection
with the Chicago Opera company.
Mr. Stracciari will play Figaro in
"The Barber of Seville," appearing

master has been appointed tem
porary conductor pending the ad
justment of matters.

The Musical Courier furnishes the
following: "Last week's Musical
Courier was the first paper to print
the report that Mary Garden had
sent word from Paris that she would
not come to America this season.
Cleofonte Campanini denied the
truth of this report, saying that 'Our
Mary' had merely sent word that
she would be delayed in returning
on account of slow recovery from
an operation for appendicitis which
she recently underwent; that "she
could not sing on the preliminary
tour, but would surely be here in
time for the regular season. The
only trouble with Mary's message
is that, unless she has a larger sup
ply of appendices than the averagv
human being, she must have mis
taken her illness, for appendix No.
1 came out last year or two years
ago, if memory serves aright."
Washington Society
, News Notes by Omaha
Bee's Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 12 1918.
WASHINGTON'S past week
has not been a dull one, in
spite of the closing of the
theaters, the churches, the schools,
the movies and abandonments of all
club meetings and other meetings
for the purpose of stamping out the
"flu." It only goes to prove that
Washington -can be busy and can be
interesting on her own resources.
The visit of the first lord of the
British admiralty, Sir Eric Geddes,
and his distinguished suite has been
the signal for several brilliant din
ner parties. He and his party are
occunvine the palatial gold mount
cd mansion of Captain and Mrs.
Perry Belmont, which was offered
the government bv Captain Belmont.
Admiral Benson, chief of the U.
S. naval operations and the charge
d'affaires of Great Britain have en
tertained them at dinner, and Vice
Admiral and Lady Grant, who came
over in the admiral's flag ship, name
not mentioned because of war ne
cessities, but which is anchored off
Washington barracks, had a great,
brilliant tea on board tor Ins ad
miralship, when all of distin
guished diplomatic and official so
ciety met him. It was a very inter
esting occasion. Colonel Thompson's
houseboat, the Everglades, came up
the river during the tea with a load
of our wounded convalescent sol
diers aboard, who had been taken
down the river for an afternoon
taste of fresh air, and ran up close
to the British flagship. The boys
were all called to attention. and
drew up and gave the British first
lord of the admiralty a salute, the
whistles and bells of the Everglades
doing their part. It was quite thrill
ing and full of enthusiasm, trom tne
U. S. soldiers who bear the marks
of the front line of battle.
Notes of Interest.
The retirement of Major General
Gorgas as surgeon general of the U.
S. A. is a matter of the greatest re
gret, almost universally. General
and Mrs. Gorgas are equally beloved
in Cuba, Panama and in Washing
ton. Mrs. Gorgas having taken the
lead in the matter of practical work
for the Red Cross. Their successors.
General and Mrs. Ireland, are
charming people and destined to
make an enviable place for them
selves. Mrs. Ireland has been for a
year or more a member of Mrs. Gor.
?s' Red Cross unit and is a woman
" streat capabilities.
Among the new-comers in Wash
ington are Mr. and Mrs. Ward Bur
gess of Omaha. They have taken a
house on Connecticut avenue, be
tween Q and R streets, and are rap
idly getting settled there for the
winter. Mrs. Burgess came down
here recently from Wianno on Cape
Cod, where they have a summer cot
tage. Mr. and Mrs. George Peek, the
latterformcrly a popular Omaha
girl, have returned to their home on
Nineteenth street for the winter.

its the new lines in panels, drapes

bow of the tricollette over a double

The combination of transparent
navy tricollette and rose silk is no

in the practical way, for women of
all types, ages and conditions who
delight in beauty of body and phys

she has been fitting these corsets
in the hospitals under the supervi
sion of medical and surgical pro
fessions and the physicians say that
through her knowledge of scientific
corset fitting that she has given
them the desired results they have
been looking for in the way of ab

The October sale at the A. Hospe
Music Store, 1513 Douglas street,
embraces their best as well as their
lower priced pianos and player pi
anos. Here we find the Mason &
Hamlin, Kranich & Bach, The Vose
& Sons, Kimball, Cable-Nelson and
the Hospe pianos! in every variety
of wood and artistic designs. The
Apollo Reproducing instrument is
wonder working indeed, and sounds
as if played by the hands of great
artists. ' The Gulbransen Player is
so light of pedalling that a 6-year-old
child can bring forth the music.
If you'd like these instruments for
the holidays, you can by making a
small payment, down, secure the low
prices and easy terms offered in
this sale. They are, every end in

"Mrs. Sammy Goes to Work."
IT is not a necessity that all sol
dier wives seek employment, but
x for those who do, office work
appeals more strongly than any
other line of work. Boyles col
lege is at present putting forth ex
tra effort to train soldier wives for
office positions, and in doing this,
they give these particular students
their choice of whatever hours that
are most convenient for study. Of
fice positions at the present time
are paying better than any other
line of work, and the soldier de
pendent is really making herself
independent by taking up such a
course of study.
Loose kimono-lined coats with
hobble hems, and bouffant draped
silhouette is the newest whim
evolved by the Paris designers.
There Are Queens and Queens.
THIS time it's the "Laundry
Queen," one of the many de
lightful electrical household ap
pliances in the E. B. Williams Shop,
312 South Eighteenth street (just
across the street from the court
house.) As you may have guessed,
the Laundry Queen is the name con
ferred on an electric washer worthy
of this clever name. The first point
which appeals particularly to me is
the fact that it's so very easy to
handle. The wooden or copper tub
rests on a frame of steel which has
an extension rack -which may be
attached for a rinsing tub. The
whole has casters, making it most
convenient to move. There is no
machinery in the tub; when you lift
the lid it stops the washer. When
ready to rinse the clothes shift the
lid with "dolly" attached, dropping
it into the rinsing tub, where with
quick shaking, dousing motion the
smooth sticks of the "dolly" rinse
the most delicate fabrics and( laces
with absolutely no wear or "tear."
To save time, you can operate both
washer and wringer at the same
time. The wringer is operated by
the moving of a handle, and may
he rolled either way. By switch
ing the wringer over the basket,
the clothes may be wrung from the
rinsing tub directly into the bas
ket. "From suds to line" indeed.
Small, inexpensive furs, scorned
in days of peace, will warm the fas-.
tidious "fashionables" this winter.
Muskrat, white parts of the gray
squirrel, wildcat, monkey fur, imita

A Fitting Tribute.
FOR the nation's honored dead
is a wreath which I saw in
the making at he John Bath
Flower Shop, Eighteenth and Far
nam streets. Magnolia leaves in
rich dark green formed the foun
dation. The lower part of the cir
cle was garlanded with roses in soft
pink, cream and gold. These were
massed with artistic touches of
maiden hair fern at the lower right,
while to give height and dignity at
the left were three Japanese cycas
leaves. . Just over the tops of these
leaves an artfully arranged knot
of satin banded chiffon interwoven
with the "Stars and Stripes" dropped
veiling ends over the roses. You
may be assured of a subtle inter
pretation of sympathy in this art
istic flower shop.
"Boots, Boots, Mon!"
THE Walkover Boot Shop, 317
South Sixteenth street, js show
ing shoes in an abundant vari
ety of smart styles, in shades to
combine with every new color and
fabric. The vamps are long and
tapering, smart uppers in contrast
ing shades, leathers, also cloth tops,
simulated tips, the new stitched
wing tips, and clever new shaped
heels. The prices are most appeal
ing to the prudent woman for they
are from two to five dollars less
than you can buy them for in the
other shops. This exclusive shop
is showing a most attractive but
toned kid boot in soft gray and
brown. (The buttoned boot is quite
the last word in boot smartness!)
A dull black kid with cloth top
bound in kid, ($7); an ultra-smart
bronze boot at $11.50 has a hand
turned sole and nine-inch covered
heel. Individual indeed are two
models in Maple Tan, a thin calf
skin, turned sole and covered heel
at $12 and a lighter more dressy
boot at $15. A black leather walk
ing boot with military heel and
goodyear welt stitching is $8. While
a gray walking boot with cloth top
and fancy tip is $8. I'll be glad
indeed to get these shoes for you,
also a pair of hose to match ex
actly. The Walkover Boot Shop
carries an extensive line of the
Onyx and Phoenix hosiery, two of
the most widely known makes of
hosiery in the country, famous for
their lines and workmanship.
The very latest shopping bags

for your home. Chrysanthemums,
jonquils, asters and sweet peas in
soft blues, pinks, rose and violet,
gorgeous scarlet geraniums and ef

groupings of cyclamen, in most life
like reproductions. On a platter of

Furs From the
Hudson Bay Country.
THE F. W. Thome Shop, 18th
and Farnam, have just received
a shipment of fur coats which
should have reached their shop in
August. They have been in trans
port all this time, and now, when
we are seriously considering fur :
coats, we may have the advantage
of the early prices of these luxuri
ous garments, for they are being
sold at the same prices they would
have been exhibited for if they had '
arrived in August. Just a few notes
I took. A Hudson Seal Coat, 4d
inches, with royal purple lining,
large collar and cuffs, as well as
wide belt holding in the flaring full
ness a $300 value you'd say at oncd
at $245. A Sable Marmot, with long -lined
coat, marten collar and cuffs,
early price, $129, really worth at
least $150. Sable Marmot in three
quarter length at $98, present value
would be $125. Natural blended
Northern River Mink, $200 value, al . 7
$165, has patch pockets of fur, with .
band of fur round the lower edge
of coat, laid horizontally, lining ol
rose. A Natural River Mink ought
to be $175, but we're delighted to,
find it $139 has belted fullness, patch
pockets, marquis collar, and quaint
flowered lining. From a score of
models, I've mentioned only a few.
Really a wonderful showing. ,
