BAND ONE HUNDRED
AND FIVE YEARS OLD

that the band be increased to thirty
members of three different classes, the
first class to be paid $S4 a month. and
the others $40 and SIT, respectively
Congress approved the idea and a bin
was passed TO which President Lincoln
affixed his signature July 25, 1861. This
act was the first which really marked
the recognition of the band as such by
Congress and the President. The title
fife major" was officially discarded,
and the leader became the chief musi-
clan.
Sousa Appears.
Scala remained at the head of the band
during all of the stormy days of the civil
war, playing at concerts, receptions, and
funerals-more of the latter than the
former during the later years of the
struggle-until he was succeeded by
Henry Fries. who held the baton until
1873. Fries was followed by Louis
Schneider. who was the leader until 1886.
Next on the list of leaders is John
Philip Sousa. who is still one of the
loved OF Washington. Ambitious. Sousa
quit the band in 1892 to get together the
organization which is now on a tour in
Europe. Francesca FranciulH held the
baton until October 81, 1897
The present leader, Lieut. William E
Santelmann. was appointed March s.
1898. and a year later President McKin-
ley signed the act which gave the leader
of the band the rank and emoluments
of an officer serving in the field" under
conditions different from those known by
President Adams.
The band has played at every recep-
tion and affair of any Importance given
by the Government and many of those
given by individuals for nearby all OF
the hundred and five years of its exist
ence. 1t is the oldest band in the United
States, and it has always been located
with the headquarters of the Marine
Corps in Washington, throughout the
century of its life weaving a strain OF
melody. sometimes gay, as at White
House weddings. and sometimes tragic
as were the dirges at the funeral OF
President Lincoln. in the web of the
eountry's history.
The band. old as il is. has not had ar
exciting career. 1t has never gone TO
the front in battles. because the head
quarters OF the Marine Corps did not dc

What great uproar is that which passeth
the heating of tomtoms and the baseball
roofing of young America?
II is not an explosion of fireworks. the
bombardment of city. or war between
two German bands. II is but the new
waistcoat of Montgomery Blair.
Vests there have been since the davs
of Beau Brummel. and some of them
have been worthy of note for their gor-
geousness OF design and display of ma
terial. But never in the history of the
art sartorial has anything been con-
ceived or executed that could come with

1t would never have been said that in all

Lilies Have Lost Heart.
A few lilies have seen the new Blair
creation. They Immediately dropped
and faded, for they realized that their
position as the most gorgeous things in
the world.had gone forever
This wonderful dream OF the knight of
shears and needle did not originate with
Mr.. Blair. but with his friend, Clarence
Moore, master OF fox hounds at Chevy
Chase. Mr.. Moore was going to make a
trip TO Europe and told Mr.. Blair that
If he would wear any vest that might be
brought him from Paris he would prom
Use to bring him something the likes of
which had never been seen in Washing
ton or anywhere else In this broad land.
Mr.. Blair was game and said that a
little matter like wearing a loud vest
could never take his nerve, so the
agreement was made.
A Congress of Talent.
In Paris Mr. Moore saw Charvais, the
shirtmaker in the Place Vendome. In
Mr.. Moore's judgment the greatest figure
in the world in creating new
and artistic costumes for men. The
case was explained to the great
shirtmaker, who said b. reckoned
he could turn out vest that would
make a summer sunset look like a tea
store chrome. or tropic landscape look
like a section of the East Side.
Accordingly the experts got busy. The
great Charvais took personal charge OF
the case and went into consultation with
Mr. Moore To their assistance came
artists. designers, cutters. trimmers,
jewellers. modistes. seamstresses, gold
smiths. decorators, landscape gardeners
and about every other class Of men
whose training and ability indicated that
they could offer valuable suggestions in
making vest of international fame.
For hours the congress Of genius
argued, meditated upon, and discussed
the Blair vest. Thesresult OF their COM
bined efforts will go down to future ages
