, be had. The fan is Of silk, the design
of marguerites in exGuisitelr b'e.e'ed
! daintiness is enhanced with tiniest
spangles of the same shade as the flow
ers. The painting extends down over
, the carved sticks. Another fan at the
same price has an empire pattern pail
letted in gold, and painted wreath eff

in the green so much in vogue during
that period. Either Of these little fans
offers an exceptional chance to secure
a pretty and well-made article for a
moderate sum. The same model can
be had in different colorings, such as
pink and mauve. One of the extreme
novelties of the season is a black gauze
ground painted with a striking and
modish design OF white and purple VIC
lets, towards which a great butterfly
with brilliant wings is flying Tiny
spangles in the same, shade as the
flowers and leaves which are sprinkled
over the design are only noticeable
when the fan is in motion, when they
glitter and flash in the most effective
manner. The sticks are of ebony inlai1
with gilt, and the outline, when open
or closed, is in graceful curves. Price
$3.50.

Marine Band Coming.

The great Marine Band, of Washington.
d. c., which is the national band of the
United States, will give a concert in Tom
linson Hall the night OF Wednesday, March
q. The forthcoming tour of this brilliant
musical organization is the result of u
very widespread demand that it should be
heard in cities outside the national capital.
and also of a feeling on the part of govern
ment officials that the people of the coun-
try at large had a right to an opportunity
TO judge for themselves as to merits of the
band. The Marine Band has been famous
for many years, but has had only two years
of existence as the magnificent organization
IL now is. The present greater Marine Band
is an outgrowth of the increased national
spirit so manifest since the recent Spanish
american war. In point of number of
men-seventy-two players and two leaders
and in their ability as musicians, the
American national band has now no su
perior in the world, and, with the possible
exception of the Garde Republicaine Band.
government, has no rival. The two senators
from Indiana are among those who nave
urged q tour of the band, and il is largely
due TO their efforts that indianapolis is TO
hear the noted organization. The letter
written by United States Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks to John ID. Long, secretary
Of the navy, concerning the band, is OF
interest. Senator Fairbanks said: Il am
pleased TO learn that the Marine Band Is
contemplating a trip through the Western
States. The organization is one of ex-
ceptional ability, and L hope it may be
possible for you to grant their request, if
1t can be done consistently with the good
OF the public service. / am sure the people
of my State will appreciate an opportunity
to hear the music rendered by this organl-
zatiOn."
