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

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

the verses were rnasterpieces of po

by somebody else first, with per
haps two or three notes changed in
the third and sixth measures, etc. Of
course the versifier, not having a

It is now stated that Frau Wag

of them can sing a smooth legato,

around?

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."

bership of over 40 musicians. Frank

to give recreation concerts at the

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,

Many have written to ask if I'll
do sales-shopping for them. I'm in
"full sale" every day of the week,
glorying in the excitement of pen
nies and dollars saved. Really the
sales are most marvelous and are
attracting gigantic crowds. I thought
all the people had emptied their
purses at Christmas. It seems I was
mistaken. Did you know that we
are to have two Eastertides this
year? So the buyers of the big

Art Work for Busy Fingers.
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. Of fascinating .delightful
materials, over uniquely"graceful
framework, they dangle tassels of
chenille and silk. Have you seen the

upon visiting the opening of new of

esteem. Many of the flower ar

inor the lovely Rlackshire

clusively in the leading fashion
books of the day. I've just learned
that these dresses are being shown

great pleasure in showing them to
you.
Superlative in. Accomplishments
SILKS and satins, fabrics which
at all times have distinguished
themselves in their services to fash
ion were never so good as they are
this year. Nothing could be more
effective for spring frocks and suits
than the silks which are now on sale
at Thompson-Belden company, Six
teenth and Howard. Specially fea
tured in this sale are such famous
lines as Haskell's and Belding's.
Wondrously attractive is a case
showing bright satin striped taffetas
in yellow, turquoise, gold, rose .and
pink, at $1.98. In the same colors
with the addition of Kelley green
and white is a line of crepe de chine
at $1.69. Then there are suitings
and coatings in all the new fabrics.
Bolivia, silvertone and velour in
I'ekin blue, plum, taupe, brown and
henna, are now priced at $4.49.
Fancy linings in odd designs are
most charming for lining furs,
scarfs and coats. Costume velvet
with soft silky nap . which doesn't
mar is priced at $2.29. If you'll
write I'll be glad indeed to mail
samples of any of these.
Really Clever People
ARE taking advantage of the pos.
sibilities for saving opened b)
the sales were having these days.
In going from shop' to shop and no
ticing the wonderful price reduc
tions they're offering, I've noted in
several instances drapes, rugs,
blouses, suits, frocks and blouses,
which looked at least three times
the price at which they were being
offered. Don't hesitate to get them.
All they need is a bit of skillful
cleaning and they will be as good
as new. I've sent a number ol
thingsup to the Dresher Brothers,
2217 tarnam street, this week and
the results are amazingly gratifying,

Flatiron Garage, Seventeenth and
St. Mary's avenue, is truly located
in the heart of the city. With en
trances from two streets directly,
it really opens from four. You'll
find an oil filling station at the St,
Mary's entrance for your conveni
ence. Their repair departmenl
leaves nothing to be desired in skill

is exceedingly prompt. '
