QUITE A LARGE BAND.
One of the Largest, in Fact, Actor
Crane Ever Saw.

Frank Pixley, in Times Herald.
Comedian William II. Crane says
that the greatest brass band that this
country ever knew was an organization
in Ottumwa, Ia, many years ago.
i've heard Gilmore and Sousa and
all the rest" said Mr.. Crane recently,
but their bands couldn't be compared
with that prairie aggregation for
moment.
in my theatrical salad days--when
l was much younger than | am now--I
was trying to pilot company of thes
plan bright lights throughout the west
ern provinces. Business was bad and
our treasury was low. At OttumWa
the theater orchestra had some sort of
grievance against the management and
demanded pay in advance. The thea
ter refused and our organization was
not financially i'm a position to discount
the future for single moment. So
started out to find some sort uf music
II possible, to tide us over. ] finally
succeeded in getting the Ottumwa
brass band to agree tn play three Sc
lections in front of the theater before
the performance in return for free ad
mission to the show.
"The band showed up on time, car
ried out its part of the contract and
went INTO the theater. l was on the
door that night and by and by ! was
struck by the fact that the Ottumwa
brass band must be one of the most
remarkable musical organizations in
the country. Every minute or two
somebody would come up to the door
with a brass horn under his arm. wave
it at me and sail on into the theater
without word After ! had passed in
fifty or sixty musicians i'm this way
began to grow trifle suspicious and
stopped an old granger who was carry
ing in a big tuba.
"'EXcuse me. sir I remarked, but
do you play in the band?'
Nope he answered
what are you doing with that
horn, them | asked.
I'm goin' to go in on 1t, If I can,
he replied candidly.
Whose is it?' l inquired.
"'Blamed if / know he said. "A
feler outside there gave II to me and
said ] could get in with it.
Il left the door and stepped inside
the theater just in time to see one of
the band boys drop another horn out
of window into the hands of some
body In the crowd outside in the alley.
"As nearly as l can calculate the OF
tumwa brass band that night must
have had more members than Gilmore
or Sousa ever directed at one time"

They increase flesh, insure pure

GAIL HAMILTON.
Some Anecdotes Of Her Rare Con.

From the New York Times.
1t is seldom that Il woman is found

Miss Dodge (Gail HamiltOn) seems 10

one occasion, while she was spending
the winter IN Washington with Mrs.

shown.

knowledge of the world. He desired to
make the most of his first holiday and
first sight of the great city. He want
ed to see all there was to be seen, to
hear all there was to be heard, but
most ot all did he desire to meet and
have u word with Gail Hamilton in
deed, he contided to a friend that he
would consider such a privilege well
worth his journey to the east, did that
journey bring him nothing else. 1t
took him several days to summon up
his courage, but at last he boldly pre-
sented himself at the Blaines' door and
asked for Miss Hamilton" About
three hours later the friend met him
descending the steps fO the house, one
broad smile of delight and satisfaction

SOCIETY GIRLS COLOR.

TT y OLD saving tells us that after a
green Christmas we may expect a
4" white Easter. And white Easter
L 4 wehave had, nor is there any abate-
ment in the whiteness, now that
Easter has been followed by eleven days.
All have been equally white.
Every woman when she makes her round
of calls wears a brilliant costumc-with
a white vest. Every white vest is flanked
each side by a white rever. and topped
With white stock collar of ribbons.
And all is the whiteness of satin or chiffon
over satin, the sheen of it mingling with
the golden glitter OF sequins or embroidery.
To encourage women in this folly, and
4 charming folly ii is. the shops offer white
satin revers, ready TO be sewed on. En-
Jroidered vests TO match can also be Sc
cured. Chiffon comes in the prettiest
crinkle for the making of these vests,
while net is so popular that nothing need
ne said of its glories. Fine silk null
s perhaps as pretty as any material, but
I should be worn over colored lining,
yellow being the most favored.
1t is hcresy to say it, but white satin
revers are not serv rviceable. They need

them. or a very slovcnly appearance is the
result. Therefore, the sensible girl es-
chews them, wearing in their stead revers

il is maintained, is out OF date-she be-
longs TO the '4Os and eos, not to this end
of the century. Woman WIS then sub
missivc slave and man the righteous ruler.
Now all is changed. The new woman is
here, and she rules: therefore, she should
not cry.
In the opinion OF another writer, q
woman should cry provided she docs so
'noiselcssIy." IF her face begins TO
swell, all walls should cease. and she
must not sniff, gulp, or otherwise make
an object OF herself. If she does, all the
pathos of her crying is gone
The idea is thrown out that style iu
weeping should be cultivated; for there are
several forms" of weeping. Some weep
alone to their pillows in the dead of night
This, 1t is held, is a mistake. because it
makes the weeper old and ugly before her
time and does not do anybody the slightest
good.
Then there is the woman who is crying
atevery opport un ea andnopportUne moment.
That is bad form in weeping. The "whmp-
ering style. with a grievance, usually fOGcd

summed. The worst form of all is the
red faced cry of temper" which usually
asserts itself in an injudicious stamp OF the

+ A FEMININE INDUSTRY.

T Is rather a strange thing that more
women seeking an opportunity 10 earn
livelihood do not learn TO set type.
= In cities typesetting machines are
common, but throughout the country
there is no likelihood that their expense
will make them possible for long years TO

Nor Is it usual any longer for a boy
with common school education TO learn
the printers trade. He aspires to a pro-
fession.
Through all the suburban newspaper Of

and the pay is better, besides the oppor-
sunities for something toward advancement
At least, 1t Is worth each struggling
woman's thought, IL she cannot do some
thing for herself in that direction. Her
