He thought it would help him out a good deal if he took some flowers to the lady, and he purchased a beautiful bouquet. But just as he was about to approach the house it suddenly occurred to him that the lady herselt had a fine conservatory. He tried to think of some way to get over the blun- der. Suddenly he recollected the saying about ‘“carrying coals to Newcastle,” and determined to make use of it. But as he rang the bell the cold sweat began to ooze from every pore, and when the lady ap- peared in the reception room he scarcely krew where he was at. “I—I—th—thought,” stamm barrassed youth, “‘th—that I b—bring you a b—bou like c-—casting swine." the em- -1 w—would bouquet, b—but it's p—pearls before s—s— The gushing girl sometimes meets her match. Said one at a 6 o'clock to the sen- sible girl who was “pouring,” “May I hav this lovely little pink cup?” “Certaluly *“Oh, thanks, awfully.” *“Don’t mention i returned the other, “you're dreadfully w come.” The gusher retired in confusion. Gravers and scoopers and other mys- terious little instruments have crept into the modern maiden’s den, says an eastern writer. It sounds quite formidable—cameo cary- ing—but in reality it is quite simple. First you provide yourself with a working table, it need not be large; then, at any art store, buy half a Gozen gravers and scoopers of varying degrees of fineness; the next out- Iay is for a shell upon which you are to cut the cameo. Black, red and yellow ‘‘hel- mets,” as the shells are called, are required, and they cost from $3 to $5 cach, but from a good shell several ovals or rounds can be cut. After it has been cut the required size and shape, it is then fixed with hot cement upon a holder—a little block that can be held in the hand. The upper surface of the shell is made sufficiently smooth to take the design, which is then traced upon it, as one traces on china; all the white part beyond the design is cut away, leaving the pattern on the dark ground to be, by de- grees, cut Into form. The thickness and quality of the white stratum cannot be known until the shell is cut. It varies a good deal, 8o that sometimes the figure will stand out in much higher relief that was at first anticipated. Sometimes when a particular design is to bo made several shells are cut before a suit- able one is found. The skill of the artist is shown In the ar- mangement of the design 0 as to make the best use of the shell. For instance, the follage must be arranged to como where the white is thinnest. and figures where the thickness of the white will give roundness to the limbs. 1t naturally follows that the one who un- derstands the arts of drawing and painting and all ebout lights and shadows will make the greatest SUCOSSS a8 A CAINGO engraver. Tu take out any scratches made by the graver the cameo or shell must be polished by rubbing it with pumice stone and water, after which it must bo washed in warm water, when a second pollshing follows with pumice dust and oll, and with_a small box- wood stick. Then It must be Washed again. "The third and last finish is given with fine rotten stone and sulphuric acld; a very high degreo of polish is thus obtained, and behold your cameo! Perhaps not, at first, the suc- cess you dreamed, but still fairly satisfac- tory, while with practice you go on to per- fection and in time have a ehoice bit to ofter & friend. “What! a cameo, and you eut 12" “Yes, ob, that's nothing. I've done dozens of them,” and 80 forth, and so on, while you in turn lnitiate your friend 1n thé mysteries of cameo cutting and feel sufficiently re- warded for your labors in her exclamations of surprise at your great cleverness. It will bring joy to the hearts of hundreds compelled by accldent and disease to remain in the hospitals to kfow that the flower m sion, one of the mbst beautiful of all our charities, and originated in Omaha by Mrs. George Hoagland, will resume its labors of love next Thursday. Mrs. Hoagland invites donations of flowers next Thursday morning to be left at the south entrance of her res- sdence, Sixteenth and How wrd streets, where all flowers will be put tn bouquets and later resented to the inmates of the vario's ospitals. Old Lady's Home, and wherever may be found some one shut off from tho er joyment of nature as cxpressed through flowers.

The Junior league of the First Methodist Bpiscopal church gave a May pole and scarf drill in the pariors of the church on Thure- day eveniug under the direction of Mrs. Morand, only the children of the flifll part. The officers arc: Mrs. Hol- d, superintenden! Miss Rowena Me- Adelaide | Ausland, president Lizzle May. retary; Miss Ethel ‘Mead, treasurer. Bertha Phillippi was queen of the May, Margaret Phillippi was crown bearer and the maids of honor were Myra Breckemridge and Gracte Rohrbaugh Besides the May pole and scarf drill Miss Daphne Crane de- lighted the audience with her correct Del- arte posing, and a poem by Letta Itohr- baugh was sung by Miss Myra Brecken- ridge. A temperance recitation by Master Georgle Planteen was spoken exceedingly well. Miss Alma Ringer also deserves great praise, as she has proved herself an adept planist for children's entertainments, 11 Lust Kites of the «lnas o The class day y-Five ‘wer Ninoty-Vive, exercises of the Class held in the main | the Woman's club apartments Tuesday after- noon, commencing at 2:30. The room beautifully decorated with flowers and smilax. The pillars in the ceater of the room were twined with bunting in th class colors, green and white, and over the platform in a central tion was a floral emblem, composed of figures 1805 in white flowers on a green background. On the platform were a number of chairs with rugs underfoot, a | plano at one eide and on the other a table with punch bowl and glasses, bits of green showing inconspicuously in and out among | the glassware on a pure white lunch cloth. Mr. Earnest Sheldon, president of the class, opened the program with a speech, in which he said the class was proud of its girls, becauss they were not only pretty but womanly, and of the boys, because they were chivalrous and manly He ended by an- nouncing a piano solo by Miss Grace Leon ard, very much enjoyed by the large aud enc The history of the first two ars of the class’ life in the High school was most wittily and interestingly related by Mr. don Clarke, followed by “Shubert’'s Ser enade,” sung in a heartfelt manner by Alice Chamberiain, accompanied by Miss Nordwall on the piano, and a skillfully played violin )bligato by Mr. George Heumrod. The most interesting part of high school life, the junior and senior years, were described in the sec- ond part of the class history with great vi- vacity and graceful mann-r by Miss Leulse mith. A vocal solo, “Like a Bird I Roam,™” by Miss Fannic Myers, was very pleasiny Mr. Jesse Merritt propounded *‘School Co- nundrums” in such a delicately humorous way that he was many times obliged to wait for tho laughter to subside before continuing. A unique feature of the afternoon’s pro- gram was the way in which the class proph- ecles were foretold. Miss Allen came upon the stage first, apparently annoyed at the tardiness of expected guests. Soon auother member of the class appeared, greeting Miss Allen as Mrs, Smith, and mentioned the date as 1905, ten years in the future. In like manner many more classmates dropped in and the lively conversation ensuing told of the position in life of each member of the class, making a pleasing diversion from the old time one-man prophecy. A violin solo by Mr. George Heimrod was greatly appre- c Mr. Jjohn Sumner gave an cloquent oration, “‘Statesmanship.”” His earnest de- livery commanded close attention. ‘“Marje" was charmingly sung by Miss Johnston in a clear volce he various possessions of the senior class were legally bequeathed in the class will, read by Mr. Christie. Miss Myrtle Robinson described ““The Minister's House- keeper” with piquancy and elocutionary merit. The banjo club of '95, composed of Misses Plerson, McMillan, Leonard, Messrs. Colpetzer, Burns and Sumner, delight:d all with its popular music, the program ecul- minating with the class poem, composed and read by Miss Dorothy Holland. The poem was gracofully constructed and its poetic quality very much in evidence. The last meeting of the graduates occurred Friday evening at the reception given in their honor by the Alumni association. Sat- urday many of the members left town for their summer outing, with no chance for a reunion until the next reception, in 1896, Farewell Roception to Macnab and Wife. The four years which Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Macnab have spent among the parishoners of St. Matthias church on South Tenth street have been years of peaceful prosperity for the church, congregationaily and socially. The many eatertainments and soclals origin- ated and executed through the cleverness of Mrs. Macnab have brought the members of St. Matthias together in that social harmony 0 conducive to a church’s welfare and the genial manner, and cordiality of the rector with strangers has made many a visitor a permanent attendant at the pretty gray stone church adjacent to Brownell hall In attestation of their high regard for Mr. and Mrs. Macnab and to signify the sorrow felt at the removal of the rector to Toranto, Canada, over 300 friends and communicants were present at the farcwell reception held in the crypt of the church Monday evening. The rooms were beautified by smilax and flowers. After an interesting musical pro- gram, under the direction of Miss Johns, Mr. William Cleburne, treasurer of St. Matthias, spoke eulogistically of the rector’s splendid work for the church, closing by presenting Mr. Macnab with a handsome testimonial signed by forty of the principal members of the church. Mrs. Macnab was then made the recipient of a framed photograph of the members of the Woman's auxiliary, pre- sented in an address by Mrs. J. N. Cornish. The choir, through Dr. Doherty, gave Mr. Macnab a 'silver topped walking stick. After propriate replies by Mr. and Mrs. Macnab, refreshments were served by the girls’ society of the church. Mr. Macnab's successor was announced by Bishop Worthington during the evening as Rev. Mr. Bonner of New York. Friday afternoon the rector and wife left for Toronto, where Rev.

George Hickox, Plat- | ner, Harrison and Manville and Misses Mabel Scott, Hertzmann, Morris, Wisterman and Dean. The company took their depar- | tioned, | presuppose that the announcement shore. Others, however, are not so condi- and they are compelled to remain at home, exacting, however, from the rest strength to renew the battle of the musi- clan’s life when the days of summer have gone and the crisp, bracing atmosphere Is indicative of another recurring ‘‘season.’ For the stay-at-homes, for the sire to keep in touch with musical thought, the musical editor of The Bee has arranged with Dr. Charles Baetens for a series of characteristic articles along musical lines The reputation of Dr. Baetens is so well known In the community that it would seem wholly unnecessary to speak of his qualifications. With fifty years almost to his credit as a musician, he is in a position to lead the youngen musicians to higher planes of musical knowledge, and he sets about doing this in the following article A FEW WORDS ON HARMONY. It is a frequent practice to give musical lectures in the form of concerts, inter- spersed with anecdotes of the masters whose compositions they include, with per- haps a chronological notice of the rise and decline of the various styles these composi- tions exemplify. In pursuing a different course from this of presenting musical per- formances with, shall 1 say, historical fllus trations, I trust it may not be vain for me to emulate the pattern of great men in all departments of knowledge, and I shall be proud if I can communicate any insight into musical principles analogous to that which you receive upon other subjects. I of the above theme will find you prepared to look rather for instruction than amusement, and, as 1 shall not pretend to furnish you with amusement, I must appeal to the interest in the technicalities of harmony for such sympathy with the subject I am about to write upon as may enable me to render acceptable the instructive form in which it will be cast. I will not planations of who de weary my readers with ex- technicalities with which 1 every musical tyro is conversant; but I must tax your patience, I trust mot too heavily, in defining some terms that are in less gen- eral use, yet must frequently occur in my remarks. Let me say, also, in advance, to mature musicians, if any such honor me with their attention, who come less to learn than to criticise, that any unfamiliar views which I may bring forward are not of my own discovery. The term *“harmony” belongs not exclusively to music. The Greek original defines the fitness, propriety, accordance of things, so that we use the word in primitive rather than in a figurative sense when we speak of harmony among the members of society, of a harmonious whole, comprising the diverse elements in & work of art. It is employad as a technical term by painters, with whose province, however, I will not interfere by speaking of the signification in which it is understood by them. In music the word “harmony” expressly defines a combivation of notes, in contra-distinction to “melody,” which means a succession of notes; the first signifying music ~which recuires several performers, except when such instruments as the plano forte are employed, wh many notes may be sounded together second, which can be executed by a single voice, or any instrument that can yield but one sound at a time; the first expressing music which {s written vertically; the second music which is written horizontally. We must not confound this bare technical inter- pretation of the horizontal, one-voiced, su cessive melody with the sense in which the word is popularly received, the sense com prising rhythm, accent and numberless del icate gradatious. the total of which consti- tutes what should properly be called good melody, whose absence is implied when eritics complain that a piece of music con- tains no melody at all, since this would be in true technical terminology to declare that such a piece was composed of a single reiterated note. The term ““harmony,” in the musical sense of symphony, accordance and combination, was unknown to the Greeks. I am aware that scholars have had divided opinions as to this fact, but I am convinced, by the very passages 1n the writings of Greek theorists which are adduced to the contrary, that the ancients never knew the effect of harmoni- ous combination. The art of musie, there- tore, which I am not single in estimating as /the most subtle, the most intense medium of the expression of the beautiful, which has always been caused by ancients and mod- erns in advance of poetry and painting, s virtually the youngest of the artistic sis- terhood; for its very birth—may, the firat dawning upon men’s minds of the natural principles which are at its basis—dates only within the last six or s*ven centuries. Since all harmonic progressious must, however, consist of a combination of melodies, it may be as well to glance briefly at the melodic code of that great people, and to note some of the distinctions which have been too commonly confounded between the Greek principles and our own. 1 will spend a short time first upon the three genera of the Greeks, since their titles belong to our modern terminology. CHARLES BAETENS. The presentation of the travesty, “‘Romeo and Juliet,”” modestly announced as super- vised by J. Edgar Owens and losing thereby nome of the promise of brilliant achieve- ment to those who know Mr. Owens' cava- bilities, is set down for Wediesday evening, June 12, at Boyd's. Omaha has been highly favored of late in the matter of burlesques. Of all this season’s enormous aggregations which minister to the desires of those who derfve pleasure from gorgeous scenic effects and a mingling of vocal and physical feats of endurance with stimulating exhibitions of femintne charms, hardly one has sparel us. The entertainment which Mr. Owens and his associates will provide appeals rather to the ear than to the eye; depends for tho making of its points upon the receptivity of the audience rather than upon the shapeli- ness of the ladies in the chorus, aud pro- ceeds, it ope may venture to hope so para- doxical a statement will not be misun stood, more naturally upon its head than upon its heels, being for all these reasons nd more beside less a burlesque, as that term has come to be popularly used, than a travesty. As will be seen from the cast of characters appended, the principal roles will be carried by people whose mames arc a guarantee of earnest endeavor and success- ful accomplishment. The book is bright and cleverly written and the music, though origi- nality is mot claimed for it, is of a kind which comes nearer to pleasing all the peojle all the time than most of the compositions offered nowadays. No pains or expense will be spared to the end that the play may be correctly staged and the players appropri- ately costumed, and as the plece has bsen in active rehearsal for six weeks under Mr. Owens' personal direction a smooth perform ture at midnight, wishing Mr. and Mrs Morse the compliments of the season. ance is assured.

This was a first- class entertainment in every particular. Theso concerts have always been well at- tended and descrve the patronage received, the talent employed giving evidence of train- ing and artistic merit. The members of the Elks Male quartet were at their best. Mrs H. B. Staley rendered two vocal solos, which deserved the applause they called forth Mrs. Jessie Brown-Crommett, a post gradu- ate of the Emerson college of oratory, Bos- ton, Mass., gave a very interesting program of sele s from modern An thors. A moticeable selection wns her ren- dition of the Boy Orator,” by Richard Harding Davis. The dramatic force and power with which she presentod the “Boy Orator's” plea in contrast with the pris- oner’s before the bar of justice left no doubt in the minds of the aullence that high sounding oratory is of secondary considera- tion when compared with the purpose which lies back of it, as Mrs. Crommett so happily prefaced her introduction to this selection with this observation. Mrs. Crommett's work shows her to be a thorough student of character in both light and shade, added to experience and a knowledge of the world, which lend a certain vivacity and spontane- ity of expression to her rendering which is not commonly found in public readers. She had a highly appreciative audience tic Eugeno Ysaye, the great violinist, will be at Boyd's June 8. M. Ysaye was but a name of European renown to the musical people of America up till a few months ago, when he appeared in New York and instantly capti- vated this country. Since then the press in the entire United States has devoted plenty of space (o him, and wherever he has played he has had the same enthusiastic reception Undoubtedly M. Ysaye is a great artist. The general comparison seems to be with Wieniawski, but all the critics agree in giving him the firét rank. The Los Angeles Herald of May 25 says: “The house was absolutely and literally packed with an audience in which were the most of the musiolans, and many, indeed, nearly all, the cultivated and fashionable people of the city. The evening was a triumph in every way.” It is to be hoped Omaha will be in line with every city where M. Ysaye has appeared and fill the Boyd from pit to gallery.
