MARSHALL'S CONCERT.
Fifteenth Annual Musical Treat En-
Enthusiastically Received.

The musical ability of Marshall's
band, pronounced by Sousa, Libretti,
and other bandmasters to be the best
amateur organization in the country,
was never shown to better advantage
than in the selection from I'll Trova-
tore at the Crawford theater last night
John Marshall never waved his baton
to the accompaniment of more perfect
harmony of brass and reed, and To-
peka audience never heard the band in
better form. 1t was a delightful and
mastery rendering of the splendid
music of the grand opera, and was
easily the most enjoyable of the many
enjoyable numbers of the programme.
The close of the selection was fol-
lowed by the greatest display of en-
thusiasm on the part of the audience
during the evening, and Mr.. Marshall
was compelled to draw on his stock of
generosity in the matter of encores for
the third time.
last night marked the fifteenth time
that Topeka people have shown their
appreciation of Marshalis band in
substantial manner 1t was the fif-
teenth annual concert of the band, and
Notwithstanding the severe weather the
audience was large enough to fill the
first and second floor of the Crawford
theater. In addition to all the seating
space on the two floors much standi.-g
room was sold.
John Philip Sousa's latest march,
1.-The Man Behind the Cum" formed
an inspiring opening for the concert,
and Tobanis sacred fantasia "Provi-
dence'' a fitting conclusion. The over
ture to william Tell'' heard here with
such good effect at the hands of God
frey's British Guards band was one Of
the notable numbers of the programme.
The band was assisted in the concert
by the Ladies' quartette, Mrs Park
hurst, Mrs Won Dahlen, Mrs Foster
and Mrs Ferry, and Miss Cornelia
Apply, cellist of the Western Star Con-
cert company, and the assistance proved
the excellency of the selections. The
ladies of the quartette and Miss Apply
were forced by applause to respond
after each programme number.
Mr. Marshall redeemed his promises
of generosity, made before the concert,
by directing several encores- These in
cluded Victor Herbert's delightful
march from 1.-The Fortune Teller"

LACE GARNITURE
A bit of real lace is supposed to add
distinction to any gown, and there are
several ways of arranging a lace scarf
that make it more than a conventional
bit of trimming. A long scarf of beau
tiful Cluny lace adorns brides dress
in the following fashion: 1t passes first
about the waist in the form of a high
Directoire belt, closed with a bunch of
orange blossoms. The two ends one
much longer than the otner, pass down
the side of the skirt, and are held sep
arately near the bottom by a bunch of
the flowers, and from here the longer
end is carried a trife about the hem
To use a short scarf OF the same lace
the bodice of gray velvet gown is a
good excuse. On this gown is a choker
of turquoise blue velvet, and in the
back a frill of the lace scarf stands up
from the choker. The scarf appears to
pass under the choker and the two ends
to meet on the bust in a bowknot with
the loose end hanging to a little below
the waist. The skirt of this gown is fin
ished with a gray fur lying over a band
of blue cloth.
THE BLOUSE.
Although the blouse has gone out of
favor for the theater it retains a place
in the wardrobe. The great number of
jackets and bOleroS worn necessitateS a
form of simple underwaist, something
sufficiently plain in construction not to
destroy the close fit of the jacket. and
yet pretty enough to give dressy APP
pearance when the jacket is discarded.
The most fashionable top is one of
white lace, simply made, but with some
unique idea for choker and belt. An
ecru art guipure is loosely draped over
white satin. A choker and small yoke
are made by lines of an embroidery of
mock turquoises separated by lines of
black velvet. This is the only trimming
on the blouse. Another example of
blouse to be worn with a jacket suit
is of some heavy lace in deep ecru
mounted loosely over red silk. The pref
ty feature of this top is the little fit
ted vest of red panne, embroidered with
gold thread. This vest is pretty in it
self, but doubly so framed by the soft
folds of lace. A third example has d
foundation Of pink silk over which is
embroidered white muslin. A yoke
forming a vest is of white silk arranged
in clusters of small tucks separated by
lines of narrow black velvet This
makes the choker. which is higher in
the back than in the front. Edging the
vest is a double ruffie of white NOUS
seine and white silk. edged with black.

Plans of the Deep Waterway From
Chicago to the Gulf Outlined.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The first step
toward a deep waterway which will
connect Chicago with the Gulf of Mexi-
CO will be taken in a few days when a
special commission from the drainage
board will go to Washington, there to
ask congress to appropriate $4,000, 900
for a channel between Lockport, Ill,
and the Mississippi river.
The draft of the petition was sub
mitted to the committee on federal re-
lations and engineering today and prac
tically approved after a few changes
in the text had been ordered. The COM
mittees will hold another session Fri
day to approve the document formally
and arrange to send a delegation to
Washington. The memorial asks con-
gress to build a canal to connect the
drainage channel with the Illinois river
and to deepen the latter stream so as to
accommodate the largest draft boats on
the lakes. The dredging contemplated
covers a distance of 2S9 miles

Pretty Things to Wear.

For the evening black trimmed with
white or a combination of black and
white is one of the oddities of the mo-
ment. A gown of heavy black net has
a deep fiounce of white Cluny headed
with a six inch band of jet. The bodice
is trimmed with ruff1es of lace and
pleated tulle and has big bow of coral
panne placed on one side.
FOR THE DEBUTANTE.
For a debutante's frock few things
are prettier than mousseline de sole
embroidered with tiny ruff1es of the
same material. That is. these tiny ruff
f1es are used to outline a pattern as vel
vet or chenille would be used. This is.
of course, for an all white dress, but the
idea is equally pretty in a color. A cos
tune for an older belle is of pale pink
gauze trimmed, in the way of corselet
and shoulder straps. with velvet in a
deeper shade of pink. What is hand
somer for a dinner gown than a red
ingote of Irish lace made with long, I'M
lined sleeves? The redingote is edged
with a fine pleating of pink mousseline
de sole and opens over a trained skirt
of the same. The vest is of pink mousse
