Into the forsaken field enters Miss
Blanche Sorenson and with the earnest
ness and energy and ability which she
has shown so well in other directions she
proceeds to continue the work OF her inn
mediate predecessor
Miss sorensons name is so familiar to
readers Of this column that It might seem
superfluous to say anything further than
that she will run a course of attractions.
But for refreshing of memory II may be
said that Miss Sorenson has been iden-
titled with Omaha's musical development
and advancement for many years She
has been known as soloist, teacher, writer
and department leader for many seasons
and her work as leader OF the Music de-
partment Of the Woman's club has been
heartily recognized in this column on for
mer occasions.
She now appears as manager Of artists
and concerts. and after very great
amount of elaboration, after personal
consultation with some OF the most prom
inent managers face to face, and after
the most serious study of the matter
she has picked out course OF musical
events which deserve the most unquali-
fled support and which would be credit
to any musical community anywhere.
The announcement of the course will be
found below, under Musical Notes" The
Bee wishes to convey to Miss Sorenson
its best wishes for success in her ven
ture. which involves some heavy guar
antees, and assures her that the same
support which was extended to Miss Hop
per will also be extended to her.

In little book which was kindly loaned
to me by friend last summer, I came
across some beautiful lines on Silence
which are worth reproducing here. The
book is not to be found on the nearest
book-counter and consequently this in
scription is on the fly-leaf: mot to be
loaned"
However 1t was loaned on this occasion,
and it's name is the Diary Of a Pilgrim
age" by jerome X. Jerome.
1t is safe to assume that many who
know the writings of jerome will be
surprised at this, while some will not
How small and unimportant seem all
our fretful troubles and ambitions when
we stand with them in our hand before

Truth I'm Silence falsehood cannot
live You cannot float lie on Silence.
A lie has TO be puffed aloft, and kept
from falling by mems breath. Leave a
lie on the bosom of Silence and It sinks.
A truth floats there fair and stately. . .
Silence buoys her up lovingly for all men
to see.
Silence is the only real thing we can
lay hold OF in this world Of passing
dreams. Time is a shadow that will
vanish with the twilight Of humanity:
but Silence is part OF the eternal. Al
things that are true and lasting have
been taught TO mems hearts by silence

might worship Silence and listen to H. for

/ after all, one may believe that 1t is tho
silence after the music which Is really
producing the effect on ones soul!
The saying Speech is Silver but Silence
is Golden" has proven true in many Of
our lives, and we have all passed through
some crisis or other when the golden
silence was the most absolutely effective
reply to a speech Of silver.
We have all learned that there are times
when we could make a silver speech in
reply to some unkind action or haHsh
judgment, but in the long run the golden
silence has been infinitely better. One
learns that more, the longer he lives, and
the more thoroughly one learns it the
better.
Silence is Golden! AS Shakespeare put
it, and somewhat differently yet the
same, Takers are no good doors, BE
checked for silence, but never tax'd for
speech"
Robert Browning said great deal in
those three Words" Silence implying
sound"
1t is worth the time OF every serious
student and teacher of music to study
thoroughly the potency OF those three
words. "Silence implying sound" Ere
quently when a student is directed TO
make dramatic pause at a certain place,
the student win say But the audience
will think that l have stopped" Not
bit of it. The silence is implying sound.
When the pianist after playing a beau
tiful strain, fingers with pedal prolonga-
ton of harmonics, on the closing chord,
and when after the music has ceased the
artist remains motioniess, as though still
hearing the harmonies, that is silence
implying sound.
Reverting to the illustration at the
opening portion of this column today, the
implication of sound after those wonder
full pauses is "Parsifal" is really more
golden than the sound itself. 1t is not
discontinuance, it is not breaking off. It
is not cessation, 1t is silence Implying"
something.

kitchen which has just been fitted up at
the housekeeping experiment station, an
affair ten feet by seven, with a multi

everything is at hand and nothing In the

Conn, is credited as saying there are not
fewer than 100000 housekeepers in this
country. most of them unhappy and all,
apparently to his mind. because of Kitten
en- methods, which are not what they
should be.
"Housekeeping," says Mr. Barnard. lis
by far the most important service in the
world and the most backward, and why?
Because women insist in doing as mother
did, and mother did it all wrong. Be-
sides this fatal mistake. there Is the
other one that ''men-n1ale creatures
have not yet interested themselves in
housekeeping" There is the saving fact
that very few manufacturers are looking
seriously into the scientific why's and
wherefores of pots and pans. lamps, ket-
ties, and cookers. and he hopes that as a
result of the interest thus manifested
improvements are in sight.
An array of these things looked for all
the world like a corner of the Decent
store or the cellar OF department store.
Each utensil. however, represented de-
Walton from some present uneconomical
type. The top of a cook stove. for ex-
ample, exposes ordinarily 500 or 300 square
inches of heated surface: the usual tea
