00T IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL Ax-8ar-Ben Ball the Coming Event of the Beason, FORECAST FOR THE BRILLIANT GATHERING Nebraska's Youth There to Pay Mystie King: Society's Tt Nennty to De nor to the The Ak-Sar-Ben ball, which {s now be'ng dis eusscd frecly on all sides, will no doubt b2 the most brilliant and the greatest event socially which has ever ocourred in Omaha. It wil be to us what tho Mardi Gras ball is to New 0.- leans and what the Voiled Prophets ball is to St. Lonls. Nothing has ever approiched it tn its magnificance or k'nd. The Colisenm, which the knights have secured for their den has been remodeled o as to utilizs all of the spaco. The transformation has been so great that one would searce recognize the imm:ns: ball. It has been painted white and the 6,000 yards of red, green and yellow bunting have beon artistically and tastefully used by cxperts in decorating. The place has an attractive aie,about it. The ground floor is to ba used solely for the knights, maids ot honor, ladies of the court in walting and the dancers, and the south en trance Is to be used exclusively by them. 1 has been divided off into a large space for the dancing and the floor has been relaid and a fayer of cardboard put down and on this wil be canvas, which will maka it elast'c and most suitable for dancing and will accomnio date 500 couples. At either end of the miin floor spaces will be railed off, carpeted in red and fitted up with divans and settees. Num- berless potted palms and plants will be used to enbance the beauty and charm the eye. These wiil bo used ¢8 a retreat by the dince:s Around tha entire interior of the bulld'ng Will be a promenade. There will be two ralsed hoxes—ons for the King, the other for the ladies of the court, the maids of honor, among whom will be the queen, and the la- dles in waiting. The dressing rooms will b2 most complete, containing all those things most essential to both a woman or a man's tollet; anything may be found, from a pia to a but'on-hook, or from a shoeblacking outflt to a razor. The upper part of the build- ing has been cut into spaces and reserved seats are being sold for either side. There are to be two bands stationed in the gall of the Co'fsenm. At the south end wll be the First Regiment band, which will play con- cert music during the intervals between the dances, The Second Infantry bind at the north end will play the dance music. The identity of the queen will remaln a mystery until the king appears at tho head of his knights on a float embowered in roses. His page will present a beautiful bouquet of red and yellow roses and green fo'lage to the quesn and then she will rise and acknowledze it and after a little ceremony she will b2 crowned queen. The crown, which s being made by one of the Omaha jewelers, conta'n a ruby, an emerald and a topaz. Tho sides are filléd with Rhinestones. Surmounting the crown Is a beautiful star, which can be used for a pendant, containing a large diamond surrcunded by pearis. This will be a beaut ful souvenir for the fortunate young woma who 15 to be the queen. The grand march of the knights will be led by the king and queen, after which the royal lancers will be danced in the center of the floor. Then follows the dancing, which will continue until an early hour Friday morning. The identity of the king will remain un- revealed until midnight, when he will un- mask. Although one s not supposed to know who are to fill these exulted positions, many flatter themselves by thinking they know. Many conflicting rumors have been heard. The knights are very enthusiastic about this ball, feeling confident of its success, as many of the hest known society men have become its able and willing advocates. The committee in charge of the ball ls pushing the arrangements to make it a great soclal feature. It has been announced that no one will be admitted to the dancing floor unless In full evening dress. This Is intended to apply, not only to the men, but also to the women. Every gentleman who wishes to dance will be expected to appear in the regulation evening dress, and every woman who wishes to dance will be expected to at least doff her bonnet and approach as closely as possible to what the soclal rules for such occasions prescribe. most, The following is an interesting confession that has found its way into the soclety editor's mail: “Do you know JPwas Just thinking yesterday that it would be a very iInteresting experi- ment to behave in a perfectly natural man- ner—to follow one's inclinations, supposing them, of course, to be healthy, normal in- clinations, for—say a month. Take a man, for Instance. Now, I know several men whom I admire for different and various qualities, and am really and sincerely fond of—in degrees which I admit vary with the days, and do not at all correspond with my admiration of thelr individual attributes ‘Well, 1 should like to be myself for a period of thirty days or so with these men friends of mine. I should like occasionally to put my hands on the broad shoulders of one and say: “My! but you're looking handsome today!" or I should like to tuck my arm through the arm of another and say, “Come on. Let's ren away for the morning and go out into the ficlds and get this glorious air, and— not talk if we don't want to.’ I should even enjoy saying once in a long while to one of them (of course it wouldn't always be the same one), “I'm very fond of you." I might even like to accent the “very” and give his hand an affectionate little squeeze, or just pat his shoulder a bit—no more. But, shades of Mrs. Grundy and our grand- mothers! What would people say? ~ What would the men themselves say (behind my back)? I'm always wavering between a desire to be my own self, glve way to my natural ten- dencles and make friends with men in a Jolly, unaffected manner and the knowled that unless I adopt a demure, Priscilla, ‘violet-like air, I'll—nine chances to one—be termed forward. I am sure I should not be popular if T followed the bent of my inclina- tions, for I should develop what people would call personality, and you, I am sure, will back me up In the rtion that the popular grl, s0 to k, has no per- sonality. Still, the experiment I men- tion would be Interesting, If not dangercus —or perhaps I might b put it _ more truthfully—interesting because danger- ous." MARGARET KENT. Wheel Club Theater Party.

In continuing the dizcussion upon the sub. ject of Beethoven's ninth symphony, Dr. Baetens say The conversalfon turnod on Goeihs, and after Beethoven had described his sojourn with the poet at Carlsbad, Rochlitz spoke of his poetry and the nspiration it cught to pro- duce in the mind of the musivian. “I kuow It—I know i, Beethove: inter rupted. “Since that delightful summer at Carlsbad I read Goethe every day—eve:y day that 1 do read. He has destroyed Klopstock for me. Does that astonish you? You laugh at the idea of my reading Klopstock? Well, I must confess that I have read him for many years during my walks In the country. Did 1 always understand him? No. He com mences too low; always in maestoso; alway in D flat. But he is grand, he olevates th soul, and if I do not altogether comprehend him 1 can divine him pretty nearly. Only he is always wishing to die, as if death d'd not come quickly enough. But that is all very well in poetry. But Goethe—he sees, and all his readers see with him. That Is why one can put his words to music. I will say ro more. No one writes betier for music than he.’ “I seized this fortuitous opportunity,” says Rochlitz, “and wittout more alo w.ote my proposition on his slate (for the poor grand old man couldn’t hear any more). My heart beat rapidly when I handed it to him. He read it gravely—thoughtfuily. ‘Ha,’ he cricd, ‘that would be a piece of work! Somethifg might come from that And then, after a pause: ‘But for tome time I have busicd my. selt with thres other great works. Much is already hatched out—that is, in my mind. 1 must first rid myself of them—two sym- phonles differing from each other and boih differing from my others, and an orator o. All this will take much time. You see, for some time past I have not been able to write readily. I sit and think, and think, and get it all settled, but it won't go onto the paper. A great work troubles me immensely at the outset; once into it and it's smooth sailing.’ " FIRST USE OF VOICES. And now for evidence as to the character of the two symphonies which Beethoven says were in his mind. Upon a page of the sketch book used in 1818 was found this memorandum in Beecthoven's handwriting. He plans an “Adagio Cantigue,” to be In- troduced as a plous song in a symphony in the ancient keys, or modes. There Is a sug- gestion of the test in the beginning of a choral, “Lord God, We Praise Thee! Haile- lujah!" The number is to be complete in itself, or is to serve as an Introduction (or theme—"preposta™) to a fugue. Then comes the suggestion (and it is noted for reflection) that perhaps tha entire second symphony might be characterized by the intrcduction of volces, either in the last movement or already In the Adagio, In the finale the orchestra, violins, etc., should be increased ten fold. Or, another plan, the Adagio might be repeated in some manner In the last movement when the voices could enter grad- ually in succession. For the test of .he Adaglo, he suggested a temple hymn from Greek mythology, and for the subject of th: allegro a festival of Bacchus. Had this scheme been put Into effect it would most assuredly have resulted in a work _different from his other symphonles. In this memorandum wé find the first intimation of his intended use of voices In a_symphony, but even here the uncertainty whether to introduce them in the Adagio (usually the second number of a symphony) or the finale; whether to use them as a vocal introduction to an instru- mental fugue, or In an independent piece, shows that his plans were by no means ripe. The Inference is plain that the first of the two symphonies, that is, the one which we now call the ninth, was designed as a purely instrumental work, and not alone the introduction of the “Ode to Joy,” but the introduction of a choral part in any shape was an after thought. . And now, for the nonce, we will leave this as the char acter it was designed. The tenth symphony should assume and wateh the development of the ninth. During the four years follows ing 1817 the work seems to have been al- most entirely neglected, the time being taken up with the composition of three plano forte sonatas (op. 109, 110, and 111), the solemn mass in 1), and the overture, “Consecration of the House." (Op. 124.) In the summer or fall of 1822 the work wi@ again taken up and great progress fs showm by the sketches on the first movement. The appearance, however, of one marked “Finale’® shows that meanwhile the idea had occurre@ to him of using the “Ole” in the final mov ment. But it is not fixsd, nor is even the melody itself, for shortly afterward the words appeared with a new setting, HE WROTE TURKISH MUSIC. This sketch bears the superscrip'ion as fol- lows: “Sinfonie Allemande, either with vare ations after which & chorus will ba intro- duced, or without varfatlons,” and ben:ath the line of music is written: “End of the symphony with Turkish music and vocal chorus." 1t may be proper to remark here that what Beethoven meant by Turkish mus'c was not music of a kind that may be heard in Turk The Germans use the phrise “Turkish music'® for orchestra musie in which the large drum, cymbals, triangle and other instrumcnts of percussion are employed. This was a rarer occurrence In Deethoven's day than row. He carrfed out the suggeston {n a measure by putting “Turkish music Into the sccond number of the last movement, the tenor olo in B flat, march tempo. Among the sketches of this year are several thematic outlines for the symphony which botray (he many doubis which were harassing the mind of the com- poser. But here now we see the first and ocond movements placed in the posl.ions (hey now occupy; tho third sesms not to have presented itself, and a blank Is left to by filled; the fourth is a presto that had figured in ono of the other schemes, and he has added a fifth with the melody to which tho ode is set. In the midst of these cutlines he notes a memorandum, which doubtless has more sig nificance than has yet been attached to it by the commendators. It 1s this: Insterd of a new symphony, a new overture on B-a-c-f, well fugued and with thres trombones. A sketch of the subject of this overturs upon the notes which form the namo of Bach has been found, and is published In Marx work on the life and works of Besthoven. This rezolve to drop the purpose of writing a tenth symphony doubtless determn'd the choice of the choral ending for the ninth, al though there is abundant evidencs to show that it took a long time to quiet all of the master's doubts.
