From the interest being taken by the

which have been proposed for the
holding of a monster ice cream and
cake social on the state house grounds
in the near future, the receipts from
which are to go towards the fund for
an uptown stand for Marshalls band,
which it is hoped can be erected on
the state house grounds. 1t is likely
that the meeting, which has been call
ed for tonight at the Copeland hotel TO
perfect an organization among the
women for the successful prosecution
of the plans for the festival VIII pc
largely attended.
AS yet there is no real head to the
affair, the matter having been thought
out by two or three of the prominent
women in town and taken up enthus-
iastically by the officers of the Com
mercia1 club, who Will bend every
energy to see that a goodly number OF
women of the town will attend the
meeting tonight. 1t ha sheen called for
s o'clock and every woman in town IS
invited to participate in it. An organ
ization will be perfected at this meet
ing and committees appointed to make
the necessary arrangements Tor the
fete, which will be an unique entertain
ment in the annals of the city.
No special invitations have been sent
out TO any OF the women OF the ely ~
attend this meeting. All Of them are
invited and the invitation of such
general character has necessarily been
made through the newspapers. 1t Is
to be hoped that there will be large
attendance because the idea is to make
the affair one which will be as repre-
sentative of the whole people Of the
city as is possible. G. K. Holiday,
president of the Commercial club, said
today that it would be good plan
for the officers of the various women 5
Clubs in town to see to 1t that their
orea nizations were well represented at
the meeting. Several women nave al
ready notified the Commercial club OF
their Willingness to help the gooo
cause along and of their intentions %
attend the meeting.
One Bandstand Anyhow
Through the activity of A. H. Mar
| shall. William Moeser and W. A Dyal
| it is certain that one bandstand for Tree
| omen air concerts will be erected IN
| the city before many weeks nave
| passed. These three men have collect
| ed S467.50 for the building of a BAND
stand in the city park at the end OF
Kansas avenue proper and the work OF
| erecting this stand will begin at once
! The subscriptions for it have been
made chiefly by the business Interests
on lower Kansas avenue and In North
! TODeka No more ideal location for a
[
| could have been decided on than the
city park, but the decision to build a
stand there will not interfere in any
way with the desire for one in the cen
trail portion of the city proper, and
| that is the state house grounds.
| John Marshall. the leader of the
band has signihed the Willingness OF
| the band to give concerts on alternate
weeks at the city park stand and al
the one to be built in the state house
grounds and that these concerts in
both places will be largely attended
and furnish lots of pleasure for the
residents Of the city, there can be no
| doubt.
Mr.. A H Marshall and Mr.. Dyal
stated today that there would be con
certs in the city park before two weeks
have passed. It is proposed to build a
stand after the pattern of the one
which was put up in Garfield park
some years ago. This was most ac-
ceptable stand for the band. is attrac-
| tive in design and one like it can be
built for less than $500. Az yet per
mission has not been obtained from the
park commissioners for the erection
| of the stand in the park but the per-
mission will certainly be granted
