I THE REMODELING
Of the building we occupy is progressing rapidl and by about March 1st we will be in our new quarters.
Customers visiting' the dilapidated main floor can see the vast improvements being made, and the invari
ably remark, " What a fine store you will have when the alterations are completed!" The' will also be
greatly surprised when we show what a fine stock of new spring and summer goods we have (now stored in
the basements). While it is impossible to do justice to these pretty spring fabrics b' displaying them while
our main floor is so badly twisted around, nevertheless we intend to bring as many as possible from this time
on and show them to the best advantage on our counters.
We can safely say that it will more than repay intending purchasers to await our opening of everything
new and stylish in up-to-date Spring Merchandise.

In a Persian Garden.
Under the auspices of the Matinee
Musicale, a club of Lincoln women who
have agreed together to foster music,
the lore and knowledge of it, a quartette
of singers sang on Monday evening,
Januaiy twenty-nine, soma of Omar
Khayyam's Kubaivat. It was the sec
ond artist's recital given by this notable
club, which is actually doing somelhiDg
(not content with mere talking) to mpke
this prairie part of the world more
beautiful, mora worth living in. To
foster the love of music among barbari
ans who prefer "A Hot Time," the club
gives every year several artists' recitals,
which supplement the fortnightly re
citals by the active members of the club
The Matines Musicale has begun to
attain the object of its existence for
in spite of the general objection to
everything but the crudest and most
primitive combinations of sounds and a
frequently expressed unfavorable opin
ion of "classical music," the husbands
and brothers and Leaur who accom
pany the members to the recitals are
beginning to show an appreciation of
what, they profess to be bored by. The
members of the club give time, money
and energy to music because their own
understanding has been enlarged, and
their spirits quickened by the untrans
latable message of music. We, who are
outside will always be outside but they
may, by strenuous effort, draw us near
the borderland where we may dimly
comprehend the world they live in.
The concert on Monday evening be
gan with some miscellaneous numbers
by Mr. Runcie, Mrs. Fullerton, Mr.
Farrell and Mrs. Weakley. It is cus
tomary to speak of the bell-like quality
of a certain singer's voice, comparing it
to the vibrations of the melted bronze,
silver, iron and gold that leave the air
a-quiver when the sound has ceased.
The simile never translated itself, to
one listener, till Monday night when
Mrs. Weakley sang "Nobil Signor."
Without effort, and with a tender note
that would melt anything but a signor
in an opera whose role forbade yielding,
Mrs. Weakley won the hearts and all
the applause of the audience. Mrs.
Fullerton's soprano was clear and flexi
ble. With mora effort, Ehe sang the
swallow and her darting, soaring, diving
notes were onomatopes of the swallows
fl-ght. Mr. Farrell, sang "Blow, blow
thou winter wind," with Shaksperian
simplicity and directness. His bass
voice is cunningly trained and he has
studied effects in Shakspere. Mr. Run
cie, the tenor sings like every other
member of the quartette with instinc
ive delicacy and the happiest shading.
Mr. John Randolph prefaced the
songs from Omar (whose full name is
Ghi yatb ud deen Abulfath Omar Bin
Ibrabeem Al Khayyamee) by a short
dissertation on the lifo of Omir in the
eleventh century and upon the life of
Edward Fitzgerald of the nineteenth
who translated a few of tho five hun
dred epigrammatic stanzas that Omar
wrote. Mr. Ranpolph'a introduction
was very graceful aud exceedingly in
teresting. The rellective, hopeless, impassioned
gentleness or the Fitzgerald version of
Omar set to music by Mme. Liza Leh
mann was sympathetically sung by the
artifts. When the Borrowful, musical
worde, that were written for the pur
pose of impressing upon mankind the
constant tragedy of living, are sung the
mournfulneBS ot life that keeps, oozing
like wine drop by drop reaches the
heart and makes it quiver in truer pre
monition of the moment it will stop.
Music and poetry are impressively unit
ed in the Persian Garden. The testi
mony of perfect silenco and solemn
faces to the truth and power of Omar's
verses and the adequate interpretation
of the singers, convinced me that Lin
coln people through the ministrations
of the music-loving are beginning to
like classical music. Mrs. P. V. M.
Raymond accompanied the voiceB on
the piano with perfect comprehension
of tho music, and the need of the
singers.
Father Roade gave a dinner at the
rectory to a number of his parishioners
that had presented him with a fine set
of dishes. Along tablp was stretched
through the rooms and flowers were
used in great profusion. The rooms
were lighted by candles that stood in
candelabra on the table and mantles.
Smilax was draped between the folding
doors and covered the chandeliers and
mantles. A beautiful bunch of lilies
was used as a centre piece, La France
and meteor roses were at each end of
the table. Daffodils and pinks were
placed at each plate and palms were
banked in corners of the rooms and on
the sideboard. Covers weie laid for:
