WELL" was the reply, II sing the con-
tarlto part, Of course"
. isn't that lovely? And do you sing that
beautiful solo, He Was Displeased?'"
The singer Immediately made practical
use of the laws of personal repression.
while on the subject Of "The Messiah"
I am reminded that l saw very recently a
program on which the following item ac-
tually appeared. 1 will give the usual
form Of printing such an item on a pro-
gram:
solo-'He Shall Feed His Flock 0rom
THE Messiah .........-..........Hanoel
and this is what appeared:
solo-"He Shall Feed His Folk from
Messiah"
For the benefit of doubters, I wish to
add that 1 "have the papers to prove this.
In programs one will very often see the
word %'recit," or "reeitative," which
Usually means a few lines sung in more or
less Of a narrative or "reciting' style,
prefacing the solo proper.
At a church in Omaha last winter a local
singer was programmed to sing a "recitative
and aria" A lady and gentleman were
discussing the program, when the latter
said, II see that this is to be all music, no
sermon or anything else" And the limo
cent response came quickly, "No, l guess
not, here's a man down for a recitation"
You know the shape Of the bassoon, that
instrument which looks like a long bamboo
stalk with a mouthpiece like a curved pipe
stem, and whose low tones are capable OF
tragedy or of grotesqueness. l told a friend
the other day that a band at one of the
summer resorts had just secured a bassoon
player direct from Berlin. Some days after
wards 1 was informed by my friend that he
had seen the man and knew him, because
he had a long Dutch pipe in his mouth
Meaning, Of course, the bassoon.)
Mr.. W. w. Kicker, the we'll known organ
builder. lately resident In Omaha, is now

for one of the big musical firms. He is
now working on the organ at the 'stude-

The eommotion excited In London society

Manager Carl Reiter OF the Orpheum re-
turned last week to personally watch after
the renovating and Iedecorating Of the
Creighton -Orpheum, which is now under
Roadway. The return of Manager Reiter
does away with a lot Of rumors that have
been in circulation since the close Of the
Orpheum season. The most persistent OF
these was to the effect that the Walters
people intended to abandon Omaha and
that Secretary Beck Of the Orpheum COM
pany was trying to sublet the theater.
While Mr.. Reiter has made no announce
ment Of his plans or those Of the company
he represents, IT is evident from the ex-
tent Of the improvements undertaken that
the orpheum company has no immediate
intention Of giving up Omaha. On the
contrary. we will have the customary
seven nights a week of a varied bill
through the long winter months, just the
same as we have had for the last four
years. Carl Reiter will again be IN
charge Of the house, a fact which will be
welcome news to his Omaha patrons, for

Interest in Adelina Patti never flags. No

Patti never had a childhood. She was a
prina donna whom she was SO small that
it was necessary to put her on the table
that she might be seen, and at night she
was singing with hre and passion the role
of Norma, revealing It's tragedy of love be-
treyed. OF jealousy all-eonsuming. Of ma

e to 30 waist.

Box Plated Blouse, 4156-Box Plated
Skirt, 4117-Box plaits make a prominent
feature OF the latest gowns and promise, TO
gain favor both for midsummer and autumn
costumes. This smart gown shows them to
advantage and is made Of voile, in lettuce
green. with bands Of silk in the sam shade
and cream guipure lace, but the design
suits many materials and many trimmings.
Linen, with cluny, is both stylish and
servieeable; yelling, barege and the like are
at their best when treated in a similar
manner.
The foundation for the waist is a fitted
lining that closes at the center front, but
which can be omitted when washable fab
RIGS are used. On It are arranged the plain
back. the shield and the box plated fronts.
The back is smooth across the shoulders
and drawn down In gathers at the waist
line, but the fronts droop lightly and be-
comingly over the belt. The sleeves are
box plated from the shoulders to slightly
below the elbows, then fall in soft pufs and
are gathered into deep cuffs.
rhe skirt is cut in seven cores that flare
stylishly at the foot and Is laid In box
plaits that enectually conceal the seams
and which are allowed to fall free at the
lower portion to give a fiOunce effect. AT
the back is an inverted plat that is pressed
quite nat, but provides fulness below.
