THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUAft fZ, 1919. i f is. m . "S. M l) BY-HENRIETTA M. REES. AT LAST concerts and recitals again. Last week brought us two, the first Thursday with .three well known local artists and the second Friday evening with the illustrious Galli-Curci. Both of these found a ready response and enthusiastic audience, large enough to fill their respective halls to such a capacity that it was a joy to be hold. If only the interest keeps up for the rest of the season as it has started with the new year, it will .more than make up for the many lang months when there have been no musical attractions to attend. i Galli-Curci's voice is certainly one of the loveliest in quality we have ever heard. There is a velvety softness about it, a pure limpidity, and a heavenly sweetness in its tones that delights by the very 'sound of it. If singing of songs was hut a succession of lovely tones, Galli-Curci would be far beyond al most any other singer of her type f the present time. But the singing of a song is more than that. If we were an artist, we would rather be a charmer than a dazzler, or if nature had given us such great K'ifts as to make it possible for us to be a great dazzler, we would rather be noted for the charm with "which we dazzled than for the daz zle with which we charmed or .tried to. But half of the charm of the song is gone if in order to daz rle, sense of word and rhythm of music is spoiled, ror the audience Js composed of the lovers of musical ' art and others who want their ears tickled. By charming first and dazzling afterward, both groups are pleased to pieces, but by dazzling fust, the "gallery" is delighted just ihe same, but one does not always s Jget it over with the other group. nd although they are the smaller -irrouo. thev have the greatest in fluence.

We Sell Everything in Music S I C Plays for the Tuesday Musical Club. of this city, and starting her musi cal studies here at the Borglum studios. Figuratively speaking, instant murder is too good for the person who goes' to a concert and keeps time during the numbers with his feet. He -is not the star that those around him came to hear, and how dare he subordinate the artist by setting Ijp a counter attraction in the hall with his ignorant and selfish thump? Yet he dares. If any one interfered thus directly with an other's business in purely commer cial lines things would happen to him and quickly. The person who thumps with his foot is the-lowest type of concert goer. He exposes his ignorance of and absolute deafness to all the artistic charm of the sounds, the poetry of music, and boorishly makes evident that he responds only to the beat of the rhythm. Even then he is thrown off by the least change in tempo. This upsets him, to the mor bid delight of the really polite peo ple about him who are much more sensitive to music than he is, and who are trying vainly to concentrate upon the message of the music. He is several degrees lower in grade than the other type of con ceit goer, who usually sits about two rows in front of one who beats time with the head. At, least thelatter type shows that the music appeals to the part of the anatomy where the seat of the intel lect is supposed to be. Besides this type does not make any noise. If one begins to get a little bit sea sick, one can shut one's eyes, and still getvthe enjoyment of the music, unadulterated. But the thumper is an unforgiv able pest. He may be the gentlest, sweetest person in the world to meet as a business man or something else, far away from music, but in the concert hall, figuratively speaking, death in its simpler forms is too mild for him. He ought to be jammed down into a chair and thumped into eternity. A cute little plan was told to us the other day about some person who had been working in certain parts of town, who for a certain sum of money agreed to set to music verses written by Omaha people. The song, words and music was then to be sent to some publisher, who was to leap at the chance of publishing it. But the trouble was that granted Sweep SAL h $400 Chickering Upright . .$215 $425 Farrand Upright .... $235 $450 Emerson Upright. .. .$240 $475 Schaeffer Upright .'..$268 $750 Steinway Upright .. .$325 $900 A.

Question: Who gets rich and who holds the sack? $ The Christmas musicale by jun ior and intermediate pupils was giv en at the Borglum Piano school, 2661 Douglas street, on Saturday evening, January 11th, 1919, at eight cclock.

Appoggiaturas. Edith L. Wagoner observed the other day that she noticed that is was very hard to do mental work after physical labor, but that it was very easy and even refreshing to do physical work after mental ef- lort. this is a truism with others besides this well known pianist Therefore it is better to do one's practice early. It is now stated that Frau Wag ner is not dead, as previously report ed, although she is of advanced age and very ill. The more we hear of great singers the more we realize how very few of them can sing a smooth legato, 1 he only two singers who have sung Handel to please us sufficiently to make us remember them forever are Arthur Hackett and John McCor mack. Isn't it remarkable how the curfew whistle can always hit the key of the song the artist is singing at 9 o'clock? Or is it the other way around? Musical Notes. Mrs. E. R. Zabriskie announces that her organ recital at the First Presbyterian church, which was postponed from December 1, will be given on Sunday afternoon, Janu ary 19, at 4 p. m. Mrs. Zabriskie will be assisted by Mr. George S. Johnston, tenor, and Edith L. Wag oner, pianist. An interesting program has been planned for the meeting of the Music department of the Omaha Woman's club for Wednesday, January IS, at 3:30 in the afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. auditorium. The leader of the day is Mrs. J. R. Travis. .The program is made up entirely of French music. Those taking part will be Miss Margaret Widenor, Miss Flora Shukert, Miss Madelin Scott, Mrs. Ellouise Shep pard Miller, and Miss Margaret Leary. Mrs. Ray Abbott accom panist. The following announcement of Miss De Lone's activities has been received: "Miss Loretta De Lone gave a most delightful harp recital before the Woman's club in Lin coln on Monday last. With a mem bership of over 2,000, Lincoln fur nished a most enthusiastic and ap preciative audience, many of whom assured Miss De Lone that her program was by far the most ar tistic, unique and enjoyable of any program ever presented in the city. Today, Miss De Lone is playing a church engagement in Lincoln, hav ing been engaged to play a return engagement at the college last eve ning, when she rendered several of her own harp arrangements, among them 'The Harp of Tara,' for the left hand alone." The Omaha Philharmonic orches tra has reorganized. It has a mem bership of over 40 musicians. Frank Mach violinist, its director, wishes to give recreation concerts at the different social centers, in the near future. Scandinavian ' Countries Show Big Increase in the Family Budget Maximum prices for goods for domestic consumption have been fixed by -the Danish government as one method of giving relief from the advancing cost of living, according to the Monthly Labor Review, pub lished by the bureau of labor sta tistics, United States Department of Labor. It has been found, However, that when these are made low enough to satisfy the consumer the producer usually complains that they are less than the cost of production. The government, therefore, has under taken to equalize this by fixing high minimum prices for products avail able for export. Thus if a producer lose on his domestic sales, he makes so large a profit on exports that he has a substantial net gain. He may export only the surplus ov er domestic needs. In order to cov er any loss the government may sustain through low minimum pric es on imported articles or domestic products like wheat, which is not ex ported in large quantities, increased taxation is resorted to, generally regulated to bear hardest on the largest incomes. Salary increases aha are being ar ranged, but th advances favor the labor rather than the middle-class salaried man. Reports on standard family bud gets for 1918 as compared with 1914 show the following increases: In Norway, 137 per cent; in Sweden, 103 per cent; and in Denmark 82 per cent. Prices of food stuffs have increas ed during the four years of the war to the point where the producer re ceives more than twice as much in cash for the same amount of nu tritive value, and the wholesale dealer nearly twice as much. The figures collected and published by the United States food administra tion in a pamphlet entitled, "General Index Numbers of Food Prices on a Nutritive Value Base," a review of which appears in the Monthly Labor Review of the Department of Labor for November, 1 IfSlUn My Dears: A FTER reading my little talks written from an infinitely feminine viewpoint embodying intimate detailed descriptions, ex pressed in language at once the de spair of analytically inclined mas culine readers, after all they're really rather ignorant of many things which bring us deepest pleas ureshopping for instance.

You've doubtless heard it said that some women could of the most bar ren ranchhouse imaginable make a home if they had a rug or two and a workbasket. Not casting asper sions on baskets, I am of the opin ion that these clever adaptations of mahogany are here to stay. Richly useful, they've charmed the hearts of all. Now that the Christmas rush is over the art departments of the city stores have set forth new distrac tions for busy fingers. (For you must know that we've all contracted the habit of extraordinary industry during wartime.) Most particularly have I been in terested in the lamp shades which are being made under expert super vision.

Life Is So Short That it rather behooves us to ex tend every possible courtesy and ex pressjpn of regard possible, in busi ness as well as social life. This thought was brought home to me upon visiting the opening of new of fices in one of Omaha's most beau tiful new buildings. The rooms were filled with flowers, bearing cards from business friends and acquaint ances, all expressions of sincerest esteem. Many of the flower ar rangements were sent out by the John Bath Flower Shop, Eighteenth and Farnam street, some of them in vases and bowls of art pottery in dark colors, which will serve as per- manent fixtures of these offices, long after the initial opening of this great building.
