4 SOCIETY STILL SLUMBERS Midsnmmer Somnolence Oomes Over the " Omaha Smart Folks, WEEK DEVOID OF NOTEWORTHY THINGS h Peen Checked. 1¢ possible, last week was even more un- entful than the week previous, but so- elety, what there fs left of it, has gotten used to that this summer and appreciates small things. Out at the Country club the list of girls has dwindled down until by the close of the w it will not exceed half a dosen, which te of affairs prom- ises, or at least should promise, something interesting, conmsidering that most of the young men are still here. It was the ball game by all odds that ook first place In fashionable interest last week and the Monday game saw the larg- est, most enthusiastic gathering that has assembled for some time. It has been years, not since the daye of the old St. Marys avenue grounds, in fact, since the ‘women have taken such an interest in the ame, and for the last month the Monday and Friday games have attracted an al- most equal attendance of men and women. * There has been a quiet little flirtation going on out at the Country club and, in fact, everywhere else whers soclety has mssembled in numbers, for several months past. To be sure, there is nothing es- peclally unusual or startling in this fact, @s soclety is prone to that sort of thing, mnd privileged, likewise, but it sometimes dappens that a dearth of other things in- teresting, together with some unusual feature, lends to an affair of this kind an fnterest even for soclety, and this happens o be one of those cases. In fact, soclety Bas only recently made the discovery that At is really a flirtation and that makes it | wll the more interesting. She is from out ©f town and a comparatively recent acqui- sition to the list of charmi young ma- trons that are just beginning to be elegible as chaperones. He is of that eet that the blase and some of the other experienced ones have so uncharitably dubbed the *“Kindergarteners,” They met two years ®go, when she had a younger sister visit- ing her. She has been “kind"” to him since Wnd he has been ‘“one of her boys,” and that has been all there was to it until re- ‘tently, when some one, one of the experl- snced ones, discovered symptoms that re- minded him of a time when he “‘needed ] 4 pdvice,” and since then society individu- plly and in groups has done its duty to 1 fuch an extent that she Is not speaking to some of her former friends,swhile he, poor | boy, is growing a mustache. ‘The week at the Field club began with he Sunday evening tea given by Mrs. T. J. h’nmn for Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Murphy, r. and Mre. J. P. McGrath and John Wel ‘Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Qrath gave g seven-course dinner for Mr. &nd Mrs. R. B.

How often does one think that the daily study of the technical part of one's educa- tion can be slighted. One is inclined to think that the attention to breathing detall, in singing, or the various little things which co-operate in the production of good tone, is a thing which must possibly be constan during the first few weeks of study, and can then be abandoned. The in connec- tion with instrumental work. The slow, steady development of the technique may perchance be & necessity at the beginning, but after & while it can be dispensed with. And the result is always deplorable fa both cases. 1t you, as & singer, were to give a few minutes dally to the careful, thoughtful, mental effort to realize just what you are trying to do, in your breathing, and if you should give the same timo to a realization of what “relax” means to you personally, your volce would be much more amenable to con- trol, your easy compass would be greatly increased and the hardness in your tome would be eliminated in favor of a velvety smoothness. While on this subject let me suggest that the most Insidious, most subtle foe to easy singing 18 unconselous . breath pressure. Watch for it and exterminate It; you can get rid of it if you will carefully think it over, with concentrated mental energy. As to instrumentalism, the same negli- gence of routine w a There is a growing tendency to ignore the eficacy of the ‘‘ten-hours-a- cticing and to emphasis e of t'oughtful, intens ic prineiples of technique in i study. Time, without thought, is wasted. The absorbing of a principle requires thought, not time—measurement. By eternal practice onme may perbaps stumble upon the idea to be grasped.

Dive deep into the sea of thought, want to bring up the treasures. which 1t you Now, let us look at this subject of rou- tine In musie from another atandpoint. A young woman will spend twenty min- utes or so every day in dressing her hair or In the joys of manicuring, etc. (I state this on the authority of the soclety editor —personally 1 know nothing upon that sub- Ject.) The same person will, however, think it a terrible hardship to be ervected by a teacher to spend that same time on the study of those detalls which the student of music approaches first, but with which he should keep up & daily acquaintance. Let us all—now that we have lelsure- begin to look into the routine, the detall, the first simplicities, and see how far we have strayed. The twenty-minute period to which T al- lude 18, of course, an extra time for the one speclal purpose of reviewing “first thoughts.” The object, however, of this article 1s to plead for the regular daily renewal of the simple things taught in one’s earliest student days. “But,” says the one-who-objects, “what 1s the use of all this thought on the early lessons? Are we always to be hampered by having to seo that we sit right, stand properly, breathe a0, do such a thing with the fingers?" The answer is, yes, i you call that ham- pering. But why dress your hair? Ah, the result repays you, does it? And yet, you expect results In the lofty mission which you have assumed as a disciple of the great art of music, without daily attention to the “gear." While we are at it, we might as well carry the discussion further. I have men- tioned the necessity of the “first thought™ perlod daily, In addition to the other work. Just as is in the illustration used, the hair- dressing is done in private, and is done whether one is going to a swell function, or the ordinary household meal. So should it be with study. One should mot expect to get results by polishing up the work just before a concert. 8till another thought and then I will leave the subject for you to continue. What would you think of a young woman who comes to your reception, dinner or theater party with hair unkempt, uncombed or unbyrushed, or the young man who came unshaven or with his hair in ends and knots? Yet, figuratively speaking, we see singers and players do that very thing. (Sometimes, I regret to say, we see it literally.) For instance, it is disgusting to any singer of taste nowadays to see a led artist display the whols physiological pro- cess of breathing. It is no less offensive to ses a planist turn himself or herself into an acrobat. It a pilanist {s obliged to “do stunts” with the body when he or she plays, then it is time to provide a trapeze for the or- ganist, because he has two or three key- boards, a pedal-board of about thirty keys, a heavy swell-treadle, three or four rows of stop-handles on his right and left and a number of ‘‘composition pedals” for bringing together certain combinations of stops. Yet I am confident in my assertion tl the average professional organist makes far less unnecessary body motion than the average professional planist. 1 hope to see the day when singing and playing of the type mentioned is charac- terized by the critics as ‘‘vulgar,” for that is the only epithet fit and suited thereto. Mr. Steinhauser. the well known musi- clan and orchestral leader, has just fin- i6hed the composition of a very effect! concert number entitled the “Glpsy Girl's Dream.” 1 have had a glance at the man- uscript and it gives promise of being most interesting to the public. It opens with an effective bit of “slumber music” sug- gested by the “shimmering” of the vio- lins over a horn and a ‘cello solo. There is gipsy dance music which le thoroughly faithful in its portraiture, and a zither solo in ‘“‘amaroso” style. addition to these there are birds, chimes, etc., adding much pleaping variety. The composition wil ‘be heard at one of the Omaha sum- mer resorts in the near future. . Mrs. Allen P.
