terest, now that meetings are .not

the Omaha Woman s club continues
to plan its interesting programs by
local artists, and one of these will
take place on Wednesday afternoon.
And Josef Hofmann will come

Musical club, February 23. .
Surely; with all, these activities,
and more. which will be avnounced
from time to time, the local music
it?.i ftd serious students, will not
lack for interest and inspiration.
The fourth, Annual' Piano and
Violin Sonata evening ' by Edith
Louis . Wagoner, and Louise Shad
duck Zabnskit, will be held under
he", auspices of the Business
Women's club on Tuesday evening,
January. 20, 1920, at 8:15 o'clock in

' -The1 appearances' of the Ztrellner
quartet in chamber music recital al
ways v bring not only ' pleasure but
something of interest out of the or
dinary to the listeners The Zoellner
quartet has made a practice of
searching out unusual music which
is, interesting and not only learn it
fee their wo gratification, but have
the' nerve to play: it upon their pro
grams. .One would .like, them to .re
turn and play over the various novel
ties which were presented last Tues
day evening One would like to ap
preciate the more tne nne climaxes
and graceful inflections of the "Sere
nade , by Sinding, and one would like
td ponder carefully the "Romantic
Quartet ' by Jan, Brandt-Duys, a
Dutch composer. One only geta a
glimpse at the first hearing, and this
workwal unusual to say the least.
Then there was that delightful en
core, a -Russian folk song, counter
pointed by Glarounov, so full of
vitality and color that one hardly
realizes the clever .arrangement of
the music for the four instruments.
The West sisters have played the
Rain Song, which made such a de
cided impression. It is a fascinating
work and the impression of the
music is so real as to make one al
most physically feel the damp sticki
tessi of the misty day through the
music.
Chamber music is a delight. It
gives to the casual listener a visual
as, well as audible idea of the four
voices in music, Upon which the or
chestra, the large chorus and. in fact,
alt modern music ' ,is built. The
string quartet , was ; perfected by
Haydn way back in tie latter part
of the eighteenth century and it has
retained its classic character ever
since. In it the arts of counterpoint
and thematic development are pre
eminent. . We do not hear enough of
it to get the full enjoyment of it.
In fact, the only ones who really get
the full enjoyment are the artists
who sue ceed in properly interpreting
it themselves. .
Reginald de Koven is another of
the famous musicians of this coun
try whom death has summoned in
the past few weeks. Reginald de
Koven has been known for many
years as one of the foremost of
American musicians. He is one of
the most prolific writers of light
opera which this country, has pro
ducedj and his light operas are not
only known in America, but also in
England and "other countries of'
Europe. t,
He was born at Middletown,
Conn., of distinguished parents. His
father soon left ;for abroad, and the
son was-prepared for Oxford. He
graduated from St Johns college,
Oxford, in 1879, with the highest
honors of. bis class, although he was
the youngest one in it His musical
studies egan at the age of-7, and
were; continued abroad.. He studied
harmony, counterpoint and voice
with celebrated teachers, and also a
special study of light opera with
Von Sjippe, and Richard Genee in
Vienna. - His opera "Don Quixote."
produced by the Bostonians in 1889
instantly won him recognition. Next
"Robin Hood" was produced, which
,was the first light, opera by an
American to be considered on a par
with other similar foreign produc
tions. The high standard of this
Opera De . Koven never - surpassed,
although, -nangr fijheri swa, of
equal importance. Hit "Rip Van
Vv inkle" had its premiere in Chica
go two weeks ago, and it wat here
that he was overtaken with apo
plexy, which proved fatal. The
Metropolitan Opera recognized his
talent by producing hit "Canter
bury Pilgrims," (I believe) and he
has also been recognized as a con
ductor, and musical critic of au
thority. Among his light operas
are "' Foxy Quiller," "Red Feather,"
"Happyland and others. His songs
and instrumental pieces number
well around the 200 mark. His set
tings of "Eugene Field's Little Boy
Blue" and "My Love is Like a Red
Red Rose" and "Mariorie Dew," are
among his most well-known songs,
but the most popular of all was
"Oh. Promise Me."

' "Jan. 12, 1920. My Dear Mr.
Watts: One day several yean ago
I was driving over the beautiful Cal
ifornia roads in my automobile
when something went wrong with
the works and the car stopped. I
got out, raised the hood and looked
at the machinery. Not that I ex
pected to find out what wat wrong,
but I had seen other men raise the
hood and look at the CngiSie and I
felt that it was the ' proper thing
to do. . -
"Of course it was a useless pro
ceeding. I could have studied every
bolt and screw in it with a magnify
ing glass and I would still have
known nothing about it, because I
didn't know the first thing about
machinery. So I had to hoof it back
three miles to a garage and ride out
in a wrecking car with a mechanical
expert who sepaarted me from $18
for telling me that my gasoline had
run out.
"Right then and there I deter
mined to study the mechanism of an
automobile. - Someone told me I
had better anchor in a well equiped
garage and learn about a motor in
the proper surroundings.
Now I am a busy man - and I
couldn't spare the time away from
my picture work to find a garage
and practice in it. So in order to
combine business and education I
had a thoroughly modern garage
erected at my studio. This was
filled with all the latest practical
