THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY, APRIL 3. 1921. 5 B IK X 1 r v v uepreciation of "Modern Art"' m ' By DOANE POWELL. 1 It is within the bounds of legiti jBate though that all education or culture has a certain definite trend. The history of education, so far, has shown us points in common held hy all the arts the importance of composition and harmony. Taking savages, the uncultured and children under the general generic head of the uneducated, we may assert with out fear of contradiction that in common they are appealed to by "jazzy" music and bright, gaudy colors. The cultivation of the ear tends towards the appreciation of harmonious sounds and the cultiva te, n of the eye to a knowledge of ;olor-barmpny and the appreciation of the quieter and more subtle tones. Of late there has been an adora i tion of the primitive, a reversion to barbaric. There is no doubt that I !u barbaric has a primitive appeal, 1 which is temporary and cultural ad vancement strives on towards higher ideals. One may enjoy the art of the savage as being the product of the savage mind, but for a civilized individual to imitate the primitive and foist it on the world as modern art is the height of absurdity to any Dtrsfin nr rumir Artists have all due respect for anybody that furthers the arts. They see the sincerity of Monet in paint ing and Walt Whitman in poetry, but they cannot countenance the haphazard siezing oi. these men's idiosyncrasies and playing them up in an imitative fashionso a$ to ex i, tgl the freakish. If jazz is music trAir apt" ic nninlinor "Aff is long" and we doubt the sincerity of any artist who retrogrades to the easiest way, discards drawing, perspective, the laws of light and color-harmony and takes up the crude, crass appeal of the primitive instincts.- If so called modern art reflects the character of the present age then would I say "God help us." Musicians maintain that the imi tations of natural sounds is not music. Tinted sculpture seeks some- thing outside itself to bolster it up. j No art should infringe on another. Tl , , . inc assertion nas oeen maac mat the modernists, in painting "seek to express motion, complexity, sound, sensations, etc." If this is true then painting is going outside its natural field and encroaches on the art of the cartoonist and musician. Because men of progress in the past have been ridiculed is no rea son why we should laud, indescrim inately, each upstart as a fore-runner of a future art. It is the easiest thins in the world for anyone to make the assertion that one is not educated up to an appreciation of a mystery picture yet. it is indubitably a fact that all of our real master pieces have a well nigh universal apical. - Vs a test it is amusing to know (.that almost any artist of average ability, with little effort, can turn (out one of these childlike attempts of the modernists, yet we find that a modernist can not overcome some the first principles that a real a"':st has to learn. , t is strange that some" people uV icunce bolshevism yet in the same KrttL aril!! all fllA a tcAi-it i Aa if iVA qxiuinik. ma ,iiu .... v., . a v. j jm . .) i T : . : . respects is in its infancy. New schools are bound to arise. We are not averse to progress. We do think, though, that the present age is too impatient of the thorough study of the fundamental principles and seeks the easier way to attract attention. The past can teach us much the future more but not through the retrogression of the modernists. Girls' Community Service League Ooen house Sunday 4 to 9 p. m., D. T. A. club, hostess.

The durability of enameled ware depends on the qual ity of both the foundation and the enamel and on the care given it. If the. foundation is not firm, it 'i!l bend with use and the brittle enamel will crack and flake off, for example, as often happens .on enameled Spoons. Enameled ware should be protected from acids, from sudden changes ot temperature, ana trom unnecessary knocks or blows. An enameled ware kettle that has food stuck on it should not be scraped, but should be boiled with a little soda, washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried thoroughly. If this method is hot effective the di,sh may be scoured with fine whiting or rot tenstone. ' You and I the whole wlfl world we bold In fee. j However omere view, (They know not what you art te me.

O'CONNELU Eastern Star Gives Cantata and Drama The presentation of the drama and cantata of Queen Esther, which pill be given by Maple Leaf chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, on Tues day evening. April 5, at the Shrine auditorium, Masonic temple, for the benefit of the Masonic home for chil dren, at Twenty-second and Daven port streets, will be of interest to those who enjoy both music and drama. Mrs. Joseph C. Lawrence, who has the title role of Queen Esther, has combined the cantata and drama. The chorus of 50 voices will have as accompanists the West sisters' string quartet, and Mrs. Gertrude Godman, soprano, will sing the obligates. Flower dances, Greek assemble, and oriental dances will be given by pupils of Miss Mary Cooper's school of dancing. The story of the play is founded on a book of the Old Testament, written aoout years a. U fcsther, a Jew. having been left an orphan at a tender age, is adopted by her uncle, Mordecai. Vashti, the wife of. King Ahaseures, Persia's sovereign, is banished from the king's throne and heart because she refuses to obey his mandate to present her self before him. Royal messengers are sent throughout the king s vast realm in search of fairest maidens that the king might choose one and make her queen. Esther finds favor in the king's sight, and by keeping her race and country a secret, ascends to the throne of Persia, with the sole de sire of serving the oppressed Jews. The action of the nlav is based on Esther's attempt to save her people,' which she finally does at the risk of her own life, making this story fam ous in me annais ot history. Railroad Rates For Cleveland Convention Advantageous railroad rates have been secured for delegates and oth ers attending the second annual con vention of the National League of Women Voters at Cleveland.

Conserving Wool If you have, bits of wool from this, that or the other left after welfare knitting or Christmas fancy work, gather it together and select all of one weight. This may then be used to fashion a garment and be dyed a good black. If the wool is limited make a filet crocheted garment, as this takes less and is very pretty when finished. If you are .supplied with knitted wearing apparel why not begin an afghan? They are al ways lovely. To Keep Ham When you have purchased a whole ham and use it slice by slice it is inclined to mold quickly. If melted paraffin be put over the end it will keep indefinitely. Suet or drippings melted and poured over a slice of raw meat will make it pos sible to keep a little longer with no harmful results, and can easily be removed by warming. The Newest Style Step in Spring Designing Circles IS THE use of hectic hues every bright and garish color has been toned down by lavish all-over em broidery, or woven in two-toned effects by the use of tan or gray as a color leavening. Lamond's Specialty shop, second floor, Se curities building, Sixteenth and Far nam, have a representation of the season's stylcful color shadings it. every department. The new frilled bloomers to wear with the bouffant frocks to keep them bouffant may be had in Kelley green, gold or rose, all changing to soft tan in the light; these at $12.50. A crepe frock combines tangerine crepe with navy, the embroidery using both colors. Novelly Charming is a sport suit whose Egyptian red duvetyne box coat is embroidered in silk and yarn, of white to combine for stylefulness with its white flannel circular skirt. a Smart little collar and cuff sets of gray linen are embroidered in the same color, tangerine sets in quaint shaping arc fascinatingly embel lished in the same shade of tangerine.

Fortunate Is the Home With An Extra Bedroom The extra bedroom is a rarity these days. Crowded living quarters tot uojfs. uowacu Jiving quarters have about eliminated the guest -- " ' - .- sary part of our mothers and grand- mothers' homes. . Today the guest "bunks" on the v camouflaged cot in the living room, or different members of the family are shifted around in a complicated way until a bedroom is left free for the visitor.; This pathetic situation is found mostly m cities where the small apartment holds full sway. Our sub urban acquaintances have not to re sort to such agonizing methods when they extend to iis their hospitality. Therefore, we may go on the sup position that a guest room is almost never to be found in the city apart ment. (I can see the stom of let ters from those having an apartment and a guest room. Corne along I'd nke to hear all about it.) But wc can suppose that, due to suburbanites and smaller cities where space is not so limited, the species is really not extinct. That" being the case, let's talk about them. Each type of room has its own mission to fulfill, and each must have a comfort of a different kind but not of a different degree. The de- gree of comfort in every room should be of the fullest.

'.,. "Such a Problem Every Season," OAID a little friend of mine the O other day in talking of selecting the tailor, to. fashion the season's garments. But she hadn't experi enced the pleasure of having a "Kneeter-made" tailleur. L. Kneet er, exclusive ' ladies' tailor, second floor, Sixteenth and Howard, has the enviable reputation of solving me : ranor proDiem, tor- ne gives ex- cuisite tailoring at exceedingly low prices.

"Burn the midnight oil." The psychology of envlroment should be considered when planning the decorations of the guest room. Some there are who contend that be- cause no one personality must be considered, the guest room should be allowed to be dominating and gay. so that a guest, on looking back to the visit, will remember the room as stimulating and cheering. Advocates of such a plan feel that happy sur roundings will better suit the varied types who from time to time will occupy the room. The opposite opinion is that a guest room should be most restful, and so decorated as not to intrude its ovtn personality on the occupam. Thus is the idea better carried out that the room should offer to the visitors a background for a tempor ary home which they will stamp with their own personalities. Both sides have value. It is hard to decide which is the more correct. Let individual housewives work it out in the wav they prefer.

Red Tag Prices on Quality Lug- gage. THE Omaha Printing company have "red-tagged" their large line of exclusive luggage at prices to delight the lover of distinctive leather pieces, to make glad the. traveler of limited resources, as it makes the prices about one-third off their original pricings. A small- sized trunk is a removable tray suitcase in a oatent finish. Cretonne l-'ning adds further to the fascma- tion of this large, roomy piece of luggage, now offered at $. Small- er m size in the same finish, a bit finer in stitching and mountings, has lining ot dull blue, is conveniently shirred along the sides and is priced "red tag" style, at $10. This size is smart indeed, and may be had in either silver or gold mountings. Popular as ever are the' exquisitely finished overnight bags in dull fin ish, seal fitted in pieces of ivory or torto, highly resembling tortoise shell. You'll be delighted, I'm sure, of this opportunity to procure one of the ever-convenient Boston bags so indispensable to our smartly gowned eastern sisters or a brief case for a professional member of the family. Look for the red tags! Many upstanding neck frills of muslin are to be found among the new things. These doubtless give' a collared appearance with the least discomfort possible to the wearer. ' Gifts for Wedding and Anniversaries WITH the approach of spring gifting time, it is indeed a pleas ure to' note the display of gift sil ver offered at the John Henrickson Jewel shop, Sixteenth and Capitol. Coffee sets, exquisite trays, serving pieces, pitchers, platters and vege table dishes, designed to make beau tiful the table during the busy time of entertaining, every bride enjoys during the first months of her mar riage. 'One of the prettiest silver designs they're showing , in this shop is the Sierra, a design of dig nity and gracious substantiality com bined with graceful lines, giving an impression of durability, much to he -,,i, i ri,: u u admired. This pattern mav be ob tained in both flatware and hollow, a silver design which affords ideal gift opportunities.
