COMMANDER CALLS
 FOR OLD ARMY SONGS

Paris, March 2.-(special.)-Old heroic days, if not something like "Auld Lang Syne, were evoked by General Niox. commander of the 1nvalides and director of the great museum of the army in Paris, at lecture which he delivered in the Universte des Annalcs
 General Niox is taking a lively interest
 in all that concerns the history of French soldiers and French armies. and his lee ttire was to recall the old military airs, marches and songs which were executed bH q military band and expert soloists. Theileeture was one of the most interest
 ing ones heard recently in Paris and was given in the same hall in which M. Maurice Dennay told us all about the Chat Noir the other day.
 After an academician it was quite the thing to hear general and he surprised us by suddenly recalling among the niil- itary marches and songs composed by Lupi and other classic authors, an old air of Scotland, the March of Robert Bruce. He placed this wonderful old march al the head of his list and told how the "Marche des Soldats de Robert Bruce" was imported from Scotland into France in the 14th century and was fla milia1 air with the soldiers of Philip the Long and Charles the Handsome. Words had been composed to it and they were sung on the march and even on the battle field down tosthe time of Louis XIII. The old air stood spendid comparison with the "Marche Francaise" and the ''Marche des Mousuuetaires" of the time of Louis KY. and the "chamson de rOignon" of Mareugo, composed on June i4 1860.

EXPENSIVE EMERY
 AT FRENCH DINNERS

Paris, March (Special) )-'1ler 1. O clock being now firmly established as
 q slcial function in France, society wom-
 en in Paris are complaining of the display
 of luxury which is expected more and
 more at the tea table. The rivalry ne- tween hostesses to strike an original note l at their afternoon receptions has resulted in a notable increase of household cX-
 penses. Table linen in Paris today is of the most elaborate and expensive description. Fsl cloths are made almost entirely of lace , composed of squares with insertions oi finest emt roiderv Haa serviet ees andghan- { Iins must also match the scloth Anotlief expensive habit is to have all the crystals Ain colored Bohemian cut glass to match { the hue of the hostesses's afternoon toil- cite. E i At a recent reception given by a society leader harmony of color was very success
 fully carried out. Plates, glasses and de- canters were of pink cut crystal, while the
 lady. of the house wore a tea gown or rose colored messa;ne de soi. The color scheme was also preserved in the flowers on the table. and long stemmed pink roses were everywhere about the room.
 colored glass is, however, debarred at dinner parties at present. only the finest and simplest plain crystal being the fash ion. Sevres centerpieces are no longer seen. What are described as aquatic fan tasies take their place. The center of tho dinner table Is hollow and a small basin is sunk level with the tablecloth. Reeds thrust themselves out of the water, in which goldfish and tench disport them selves.
 g A wealthy host the other day prepared q surprise for his guests by an elab- crate "sea fantasN'' built. up as table center, with shrimps and tiny eels swim ming about in the miniature ocean. The guests entered so much into the spirit of the thing that they emptied all the salt cclars into the sea
