If to be fried or cooked In a casserole, ther. they should be cut up In suitable pieces. Boneless fish put on in cold water requires only a few minutes' cooking after it begin" to boll, which it should do very gemly. Boiler or fried fish should be carefull drained in each case, and served in a napkin with the sauce in a hot gravy boat. Boiled fish may be ploced on a buttered dish, after draining, dusted with seasoning, dotted with grated cheese, then lightly browned In the oven. A thin cream sauce is often served with fish cooked this way. Now as to the "waste" of the fish, if we must use the expression, from which the sauce foundation Is made, known. a« fumette: Place the skin, bones end trimmings In a saucepan with two cupfuls of water, a cupful of tomato juice, a small diced soup bunch, a bay leaf two slice onions, a half bud of garlic, six cloves and seasoning. Boil gently for half an hour, then strain first throuhg a sieve, then through a fine cheesecloth. -Set aside to cool, remove the grease, and the fumette is ready to use as a foundation of a cream tomato, drawn butter or any other sauce desired.

Sousa and His Band

By H. fi. tt igjrin*. Taking teu> mosiderati/jn the fart that I hare been permitted to attend teru given by a great majority of the leading band* and symphony orchestras of the world, sad that from time to time I hare Ueo interested in various musical societies, and also have hid considerable band experience myself 1 feel that I am about qualified to* give a fair and impartial opinion, or to comment ~ the »rustic ability of any imsical organisation, a* to how near they anproaefa what 1 ' insider the ideal in their respective cla—es. In ord-r to give the reader ac idea of the tco « of my observations, I take pleasure in stating that I hare attended concerts rendered by the following spk-ndid m sical organizations: Toe Goldman C ncert Band. United States Marine Bam. Chicago Marine Band, Pryor’s Band. Mexican National Band, the Kilties' Band, La Guarde Kepublicaine Band, of Paris; the Berlin Band, Inne*' Band, Lib-rati's Band. Creator*'* Band. Filipino 3and, Ban Godfrey’s British Guards Bam and the Grenadier Guarus Band of Lo don. In addition to the above list of topnotebers. I have also enjoyed man; concerts given by a Mxrc of the best symphony orchestras in the world. ' Chile all of the above are most excellent nuaicial organizations, and the; all en.oy a splendid patronagi. nevertheless, .here must be one musical organization w ich can single out and point to il aa posteasing superior merit. 1 am full; alive to the fart Use' ‘he Sousa Band is a unique orgs-'-^tion. that it is in a class by itself; that Us >urs carry it to just about cverv point of civilization under the sun; that : ts coming is alwace hailed with delight -rerywhere, and that it has played to and pleased more of the musi- loving public than any other musical organization in existence. I air. much pleased to state that I hav. had the extreme pleasure of enjoying the playing, of this incomparable band at nearly everv important point from Manhattan Beach to the Mi-«is*ippi River. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sousa a num- ' years ago, when he was on tour. . .... well remember the first time that I had the privilege of attending a Sousa concert. It was back in 1807, at the old Harlem Opera House, New York City. I can recall two of the numbers or * the program: Overture, “Garni . al Romaine. and the "Second Hungarian Rhapsod) ” That wa* not the first time that I had heard these two selections plaveu. but it was the first time that I discovered the real betuty in them—the first time Uiat I had heard a concert rendered by a band whose personnel was made up entirely of artists. The playing by the band and Mr Sousa's style of conducting simply captivated me. The program was of generous length, but it being the first Sousa concert that I ever had attended it was not long enough I wanted more, more, more. jc made an indescribable impression on me. The masterly technique of the stick was always evident. Mr. Souse’s every movement was crystallized into bewitching melody or unique effects by the memliers of his band. The Mluring harmony, the faultless unison, the thrilling crescendos, the purity ' delicacy of the pianissimo movements and the power of the fortissimo strain* simply enthralled me. so speak, and I have been an ardent a mir-r of the Sousa Band ever sim Good music is one of the things that make life worth living; it has an uplifting tendency; it ra’ises _ one to forget the grind of every-day life. The more we hear of the better things of life the more it takes to satisfy us, but Sousa is the best panacea of which 1 have any knowledge, and his generosity is not equaled by any other bandmaster. Py .trtual count I* have known him to play fourteen encore# at a single concert. Sousa will play an extra in the time that many conductors will be splitting the air bowing to ther audience. Talk about getting your worth—that’s the way you feel when coming away from a Sousa concert. I thoroughly appreciate good music, and there are time* that 1 get a sort of craving for it—a craving that’s got to be satisfied through the be»t available

channels.

Some years ago a rumor wa* current that Mr. Sousa once discovered an old organ-grinder playing in front of the Grand Central Station, New York City. He was playing at a very slow tempo, and Mr. Sousa discovered that it wa* his iwn ’Washington Post March” that was •ing murdered. The. story goes that Mr. Sou*.i approached the organ-grinder and taking hold of the crank of the ma chine replayed the march, at a lively tempo, reminding the organ-grinder that that was the proper way to play a march. Next day the organ-grinder appeared at his favorite stand and decioed that he would do a bit of tising for himself, and when :.e plsyed the Sousa march he displayed a Urge card bearing the following: "’Washington Post March.’ sir-nged by Sousa and played by a student of Sousa.” fin Sunday night. September 28th last, the Sour* Band gave an anniversary convert at the New York Hippodrome, it lie ing exactly twenty eight ;ear» since Mr. Souss organized Ins band, which was quite a success term the start, soon beesm. popular and a little later developed into the lest, snd has for many ••car* enjoyed the honor of being the 'most popular and fam ius musical organ ization :i existence. Mr. Souss had his bsnd ragmen ted to ‘00 performer* for the anniversary concert. The monster Hippodrome wa* crowded to capacity. There wa* aa ovation for the “March King.” now a lieutenant-commander, when he appeared on the stage, and at the end of ’he fifth number Mr John Fulton, secretary of the Musicians’ Club, stepped upon the stage and paid a glow ing tribute to M.. Sousa. About the same time large wreaths ard fiowe.-s were brought on the stage from both side, and uie—n’c-i to the “March King.” Sonia wa* literally buried nine! them. Every one in the great ampiiheatre rose and cheered loud and long, and, to complete the climax, DeWolf Hopper, representing the Lands. Club, jumped upon the stage and warmly congratulated the smiling So" and made a number of humorous mark* which were very apropos. The land was at iu best, and So has lost none of his former vigor an; of his unique style with the wend. The concert was a great sue was thoroughly enjoyed by Uie great aavmblsgc.

furnish much of a clue by which to ide; tify. A short time before he announced the approaching marrisge of his daughr Mr. Sousa wa* prevailed upon to .tisfy the curious. The following is his unique and humorous reply , ' i -

words:

1 there is one thing that I dislike more than another it is to spoil * good story. The story of the origin of my name is a rattling good ore, and, like all ingenious fables pnnite of international variations. The German version that mv name is Sigismund Ochs, born the Rhine, emigrated to America, trunk marked: ‘S. O., U. S. A.’ There fore the name. The English version is that I am one Sam Ogden, a Yorkshire The domstir brand «f the story is that 1 am a Greek, named 1‘hillipso. This more or has polite fiction ha# been one of the best bit* of advertising :i my long career.

93 and 83 Married; Fifth Time for Each Port Worth, Texas—The god of romance never weakens. The older they get the harder he hits them. Witness the marriage of D. J. Manley and Mrs. I. A. Walach here this week. The room was 93 while the blushing bride ■as 83. After the justice of the uesce tied them up for the remaining year* their lives they started on a tour of Texas for a honeymoon. But the Dairying of the aged couple as not the only thing at which scoffers at Dan Cupid were set back It was the statement mode by the couple following the marriage cere-

mony.

The blushing bride admitted coyly that it was her fifth veil tore on the matrimonial sea. but that she had over been in a divorce court, for hers •as not that kind of love. The embarrassed groom made a similar admission. It was his fifth trial, too, and the other four better halves were lying beneath the sod in our different States.

Why Purple Signifies Royalty Purple has come to signify royalty, wealth and power. Aa ia the case with most phases, it is interesting to trace quoted above and see how purple came to have such associations. Price is of course the controlling facand when the price is such as to limit of use of a material or object to those who are te. affluence then these materials and objects readily come to have an idomatic use. Notwithstanding the high prices of dyes in l?!! and 1919, one must look back much further in history to find a time when dye was really high, so high in fact that to “wear the purple” has ever since meant the command of riches. The ancient purple was the Tyrian purple named after the powerful city of Tyre which, like Carthage and Si don. owed much of Its prestige 'o the purple dye and the cloth colored by IL According to Charles E. Pellew, the Latin records show that no other dye has ever brought so high a price commercially . As the supply diminished the price rose until linen costing $52 per pound sold for 652 per pound after dying. Assuming that 3 per cent of purple on the weight of goods was required to give a full shade say on silk, the dye runs Into the thousands of dollars per pound. From records and enormous piles of shells near ih© ancient cities of the Mediterranean tho source of Tyrian purpn has been found te be a whitish thick liquid found In a small vein of certain snallllke fish. Only a few drops may be recovered from each fish and 12,000 were required for a quantity of liquid sufficient for accuanalysls of the active principle. As the demand Increased the number of fish rapidly decreased as their growth is not rapid. Finally the art was lost and for 200 years was not revived. In 1865 the Purple fish” was rediscovered when .t was found that an Irish woman living by the s,-a was using the whitish liquid ter marking garments ter identification after launderinr When this liquid is applied to libers and then exposed to the sunlight a purple co' or Is developed. If it is not washed with soap a fast crimson is produced. Tyrian purple running from a Mulsh gray to a brownish red through ind'.ro blue, purple and violet. These shades are so varied that we are led to suppose that in time any unusually fine dye was termed purple meaning a quality rather ban a definite color. TAp* the crimson robes for the Catholic clergy of today has come down as a remanent of the practle at the time when the church insisted that its represontatlve.- should have the same prerogatives as State rulers and princes. With such traditions an history tt ... not strange that the dye chemist should dream of prot:-icing synthetically the dye which accounted for so much. The shell fish were identified 12,0 *0 collected from the old beds where they had again become numerous. and a careful analysis made of the coloring principle in the liquid. It bad been assuded that It would be in some form of Indigo, both from the color and the way it developed on fibers, but that tt should be a bromine deri- alive was a surprise for this was first time bromine had been found be a component of an animal. Chemically speaking, Tynan imperial shades of long »go are too dull and muddy to salt the taste cultivated by modern brtllianL attractive colors. They are no faster to light or washing. Modern purples contain exactly the same atoms as Its ancient prototype. sayz the Scientific American, so the most humble wwuor of ■ s-vy blue Is afforded a color In all respects superior lo that used to designate tho Roman consul and the senators of the Roman state by oar row borders on
