United States Marine Band Is 40 Years Old

Marine corps in its publication, "The
United States Marine Band,' did
much to dispel the gloom.
The band often held its concerts
on hill where the Marines pitched
camp, and the music supplied much
needed entertainment for the popu-
lace.
In those days the band consisted
of two oboes, two clarinets,, two
French horns, bassoon and drum.
The band did not possess a bass
drum and efforts to obtain one
"were not successful for several
months"
The band made it's official debut
at President Adams New Years
Day reception at the White House in
1901. Ever since that day the band
has been called by succeeding Pres
idents to play on this occasion.
The bands most notable appear
ance was when President Lincoln
made his immortal Gettysburg adj
dress.

From an organization composed
of handful of ''fife and drummers, :"
the United States Marine band has
grown to one of the most famous
military musical groups in the
world.
The smartly clad bandsmen, ar
rayed in scarlet coats, scarlet or
white caps, and elaborate ornamen-
tation across the uniform are in con-
slant demand for affairs of state
and patriotic gatherings. They ap-
pear frequently at White House re-
ceptions and concerts of the Pan
American Union.
The Marines fife and drum corps,
organized shortly after the Marine
corps was established just prior to
the Revolutionary war, usually con-
sisted of Glands" of 10 or more
musicians.
When the war ended, military ac-
tivity virtually came to an end and
the Marines musical unit ceased
to function. In 1898, however, the
Marine corps was brought to life
again and provision was made for
a band.
When the national capital was
moved from Philadelphia to Wash
ington in 1900 the Marines also were
transferred.
Washington at that time was a
desolate spot and, according to the

That was all, just that plaintive
note. But Ade1aide's plaintiveness
| was always effective.

better. Philomel sang. The world
was lovely place.

Jane was telling Badly at break

She was perfectly unconscious of
the revelation she was making, but
he, knew-and was constrained to
say, '"Then you don't really love
him."
"Oh, do. He's much nicer than
imagined he might be-"
"Oh, well, if you think you are
going to be happy"
''I know I am-dearest," she blew
kiss from the tips of her fingers.
Badly, I'm going to have great

She looked up at him in surprise.
what makes you say it that way?
Has she told you she didn't carer"
"She has told me that she does
care. But do you think, Janey, that
I'm going to take her money!"
He patted her on the cheek and
was off.
Jane picked a spray of princess
pine and stuck it in her blouse.
Oh, what an adorable world! Her
world. Could there be anything bet
ter than Frederick Towne could give
her?
Baldy's words rang in her ears
"Do you think am going to take
her money!"
Yet she was taking Frederick
Towne's money. She wished it had
not been necessary. Each day it
seemed to her that the thought
burned deeper: she was under OBJ
legations to her lover that could be
repaid only by marriage. And they
were to be married in June.
Yet why should the thought burn?
She loved him. Not, perhaps, as
Badly loved Edith. But there were
respect and admiration, yes, and
when she was with him, she felt
his charm, she was carried along
on the whirling stream of his own
alteration and tenderness.
She went back to her own little
house, and found a great box of
roses waiting. She spent an hour
filling vases and bowls with them.
Old Sophy coming in from the kitch-
en- said, 'Looks lax dat Mistuh
Towne's jes' fascinated with you,
Miss Janey."
"Aren't the roses lovely, Sophy?"
Jane wanted to tell Sophy that Mr..
Towne would some day be her hus-
band. But she still deferred the
announcement of her engagement.
"I've told one or two people,"
Frederick had said.
"Whom?"
"Well, Adelaide She's such an
old friend. And I told Annabel, of
course. I don't see why you should
care, Jane"

Important Fashions
In Simple Patterns

THE smock-frock is really a
L fashion, not just comfortable
maternity dress. It's smart and
young and practical. No. 1888 is
a version of it that may be worn
for afternoon, because the pleats,
in both the smock top and the adj
Unstable slip skirt, give it a touch
of dressiness. Make it of flat
crepe, thin wool or georgette.
Good for Whole Wardrobe.
Unusually useful is the pretty
frock for little girls (1836) because
it can be made in two ways-with
round collar and frills, or with the
