The flavor comes in liquid form

Jiffy Jell -Waukesha, Wisconsin
hoped to present it .some time in
January. Here again is it Called Off.
The great Victory Sing, which was
planned for this afternoon at the
Auditorium in connection with the
roll call week of the.Red Cross, has
also been postponed until such time
as everyone interested can join
in -the singing without dis
seminating "flu" at the same
time. Everything is called off
for the present. But, you 'know,
there are some artists who are not
artists long and with some their
vogue lasts but a day. Let us hope
that Called Off will not be the rule
forever and that it will not 'he long
until his appearances are followed
by a master production of part of
the title of a certain Russian work,
which part is "Onegin."
The following letter is self-explanatory
and it brings to mind sev
eral things which ought to keep
Omaha from getting too chesty
about being such a wonderful town,
where there are such great oppor
tunities. How about cultural oppor
tunities? And, really, does it look
well' to strangers when thqf are
here to have our Municipal auditor
ium growing older and older day by
day and still unfinished? It sort of
reflects upon the home folks, as it
were:
' Sunday evening, September ,8,
1918. I 'amended the 82d recital at
the large, ample and finished San
Francisco Auditorium and heard the
masterly official organist. Edwin H.
Leifiare, at one of United States'
grca; organs, the municipal organ
of San Francisco.
"After that wonderful evening I
had a dream.
"I dreamt I was in my home city,
Omaha, and before my inner vision
appeared that old fine male chorus,
the Apollo Club; after it the Omaha
Musical Art society, l'eniiiman's,
afterwards Sims,' Oratorio Chorus:

hundreds of people
from Smaller cities
come to Peacock's each year
to purchase a ood part of
their Christmas Gifts. Some
thing from Chicago's "Gift
Store" means much to the
recipient and expresses the.,
thouhtfulness of the lver.
The PEACOCK imprint stands for
quality and value whether the artk..
cle costs much or little. t .

town customers who cannot visit
the store we have an efficient shop

and perfectly satisfactory to shop

the Mondamin Club, the Exposition
Chorus, and the Mendelssohn Choir,
not to mention a score of lesser
choruses and clubs, all dead and
buried by an unappreciative and
nonsupporting public. The danger
of precedent prevented united sup
port of local organizations, so we
were told.
"Again there passed before mv
closed eyes a broken-hearted and
discouraged procession of unselli
devoted and never-tiring enthusiasts,
such as Young, Franko. Homer
Moore, Mrs. Calm, the two Butlers.
Hans Albert, Kelly and many
others. Their one purpose, that to
make Omaha a better place to live
in. musically, had failed, they had
felt compelled to leave us.
"Again the scfne was shifted. The1
Municipal auditorium at Omaha was
actually finished as' it was intended
to be. I marveled at the beautiful
ceiling. I was enthused at the
sight of a Rretn organ installed. I
was told that the city had secured
an official organist to give recitals
at stated intervals for a nominal ad
mission. I learneed that the Com
mercial club and the business men
generally', unstintingly supported a
fine ohorus.
"My Omaha haM gone over th
top in every way. '
"We Lave the unsurpassed Ak
Sar-Ben. the magnificent Athletic
club building, the exclusive Omaha
club, the well-kept playgrounds rr4
base ball parks and now musical-
but then I awoke and, alas, it wa'j
only a dream. After being satis
fied it was only a dream, I turned
over and went to sleep again, hop
ing to sleep 20 years, musically.
"J. S. II."
Numerous plans had been made
by the special committee for com
munity singing for Red Cross roll
call and for Victory Christmas cele
bration. The first large community
sing was to take place this after
noon, but will not now be held un
til a later date. Letters were sent
out to the different choir directors
urging co-operation, plans had been
made for an adequate number of
bands and other arrangements
made. The music committee is
composed of J5en Stanley, chair-1
man, organist lrinity cathedral and
director Liberty Chorus; Juliet Mc
Cune, supervisor music, Omaha
public schools; Jean P. Duflield,
president Omaha Clef club; A. L.
Green, Burgess-Nash Chsrus, and
J. C. Wrath, choir director. Mr.
Harry Murrison, who has recently
been assigned to Omaha as organ
izer and song leader for community
singing by the War Camp commun
ity service, and who has charge of
such-work at the forts, was to have
directed the singing this afternoon.
Orpalia has not as yet had any com
munity singing to speak of, although
many other cities report most favor
ablengatheringg of this sort. Musi
cal America opens with a large head,
"Millions Join in Victory Sing on
Thanksgiving Day." A large meet
ing was held in Madison Square
Garden in New York on that day, at
which time patriotic songs were
sung and an interesting program
given. Four hundred singing sail
ors, under the directorship of Percy
Hemus, were among the numbers
and they gave a demonstration of
the kind of singing' that is done in
camp. Community singing was also
indulged in on Thanksgiving dav in
many other cities, among them Bal
timore, Atlanta, Scranton and Providence.
George Hamlin, the celebrated
tenor, is prime mover in a project
which plans to organize a company
for the production of opera comique
in America. This is somewhat sim
ilar to the Society of American
Singers, which has been so success
ful in New 1ork City. Mr. Ham
lin's idea is to visit several citites
and will probably in no way inter
fere with the. other project. Mr.
Hamlin's idea is to enlist a sufficient
number of artists so that alternate
casts may be had for each opera,
and also to enable the company to
send casts to other cities at the

Hy BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Awful, Indeed.
Dear Mies Fairfax, Omaha Hop:!
The order clerk of onr office has the '
"awful" habit of spitting on tho rus
and in tho waste basket and don't j
seem to realize how dinaKreeuble it 1
is tor the rest of the otlire force, to
say nothing of what it must be for
the janitor who has to empty the
waste basket, and it is against hy
giene, as you will asree.
How would you go ab(ut break
ing him of this very disagreeable
habit? CAN'T fsTANDlT.
I cannot understand how a man
can grow to maturity without hav
ing his head Mown off -who indulged
in such filthy habits. Good man
ners is little more than courteous
consideration for others, and surely
this man must realize that spitting
on the rug and in the waste banket
is nauseating to his co-workers. Why
not present him with a ruspidor for
Christmas? If that doe no good,
nothing will except whitecaps, or
something equally drastic.

being a splendid testimonial to her
popularity and success in the past,

education in Chicago as a protege
of Mrs. rhillip D. Armour. She
made her European debut in the
royal opera at Wertzberg, and her
American debut with the Chicago'
OJi&ra company. She toured the
country with the Ellis Opera com
pany, with which she appeared in
Omaha in the role of "Micaela"iin
"Carmen." She has also appeared in
this country -with the Montreal
Opera company, the Century Opera
company of New York and the Cin
cinnati Symphony orchestra. She
has been most successful both in
opera and concert, and many whr
have heard her are rejoiced tha'
there is a prospect of hearing her
in Omaha again. Admission to this
concert is only to members of the

In so serious a matter as this you
must not depend on gossip and hear
say. The charges that you speak of
should be investigated hy going to
the friends and relatives of tho wife
who died. If the widower is not a
heavy drinker and a wife-beater he
will doubtless be triad to co-onerate
; in tracing these, charges to their
.'-otiree aid disposing of them. At
, all events, don't marry until the
whole question is cleared up, how
ever deeply you are in love with' him.

children and would dearly love to

Which Does He Love?
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 19. and
have known a young man three
years my senior for nearly five years.
.Many times this young man has told
me he cared very dearly for me, and
1 have learned to love him very
much. We had been wonderful
friends, until several months ago he
bec ame infatuated with another girl.
1 bad given up all hirpe of a recon
ciliation with him when he quarreled
with her.
The nc-it night he asked mo to
please give him another chance, as
he still cared for me and always had.
I decided to let bygones lie bygones.
Although he claims he still loves me.
he continually speaks of the said
girl. He tells me he cannot forget
her, though he has learned to dis
like her. Do yoti think that is pos
sible? 1 am considered beautiful
and have many admirers, but I like
him the best. Please tell me what
to do. I am almost sure he cares
for her. although he won't confess.
CONSTANCK K.
Don't you think it's wiser to insist
that your relation with this yung
man, for the present, at least, remain
-one of friendship merely? After
quarreling with a girl who had vio
lently attracted him I do not see
how he could be in a state to make
love sincerely to another girl, and I
would not encourage anything of
this sort if I were-you. Wait until
the memory of his infatuation has
become dimmed. ,
A Young-Widow's Problem.
Dear Miss Fairfjfx: I am a
widow 20 years old and have a, baby
of S months. I am very much irt
love with a widower of 30, now in
camp. As soon as he is discharged
he wants me to marry him. My
mother is trying in every way to
keep us apart. A dear friend of hers
told her that this man is a very
heavy drinker; also that he was very
mean to his first wife, and that once
or twice he even beat her. But I
have been told that all this is not
true. Miss Fairfax, I love this rnan
dearly and cannot bear to give nim
Self-Supporting Sixteen.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 16 and
have been working a year and a half
in a downtown office. About two
weeks ago 1 met a sailor, and have
been going out with him since then.
I find great pleasure in his company.
Now, Miss Fairfax, my parents are
very much against my going out
with him, one of the reasons being
that I am too young, although I am
not too young to be working a year
and a half. I have tried to explain
to them that my going out does not
mean anything but friendship, but
all in vain. B. N.
I am obliged to agreo with your
parents that 16 is very young indeed.
It seems a great pity that you had
to begin your working life so early,
but even though you do support
yourself, I think you ought still to
accept your mother's advice in mat
ters such as this. Why not ask your
sailor friend to come to your house,
instead of going out with him, which
you really ought not to do without
a chaperon? Would your parents
object to that?

John McCormack Now a
National Institution
John McCormack, the interna
tionally famous tenor, wlio will be
heard here at the Auditorium at the
second number of the All-Star Con
cert course, is now a national insti
tution in America, writes Karlton
Hackett. in the Chicago Evening
Post. "He has something that ap
peals to the public with a charm that
is irresistible.
"The time may come when the
people will have become weary of
hearing John McCormack sing, but
to judge from the size of his audi
ences, and the noise the people make
over their favorite, that time is not
yet. It would be fairly safe o ven
ture the prediction, that so ong as
he sings as he is singing this sea
son, that time will not -coine for
many a long year;". -.
