HUNTER CHOIR THURSDAY. An important musical event for the week will be the appearance of the ladles Royal Welsh choir at the First Methodist church, Thursday evening. March the seventh. The program will begin at eight o'clock. The affair will be under the auspices of the church choir, Mrs. Grace Oormon being director. The following concerning tho choir is of Interet: These ladles feel keenly what they sing, and If there is a secret to their success well, then, it is that Inborn Celtic temperament that enters into every word and sound tbey utter or sing. When they sing they center their vision and feelings In the con duetor and they are absolutely hers heart and soul for the time being. It often happens, indeed, that the young ladles are overcome with emotion, and when anyone of them is seen to be on the verge of breaking down, the one who observes the fact instantly assumes her part no matter what part she herself may be singing at the time. Some mechanlcial and superficial singers may doubt this statement, but the Welsh choir Is infinitely more than a mere machine. All the members of the choir live with Madame Hughes-Thomas in Windsor Place, Cardiff, and are well paid and given plenty of liberty. They all speak of their leader as a mother in all respects, and she is beloved by her pupils, many of whom prefer living with her to going home. The prefix "Royal" to the name of the choir was specially conferred upon it by the late King Edward when he commanded Madame Thomas and her choir to Windsor Castle to sing before the royal family. There is no other royal ladles' choir in the United Kingdom. Artists mutt-' establish their fame before they are commanded by by royalty. It is the policy of Madame HughesThomas to sing all Welsh music In the vernacular. While giving a concert at Liverpool on her way out this time,1 she was asked to favor an English digitary with an English version of Welsh music. The choir was duly instructed to do so at the concert, but when the moment came to sing, each member . of the choir, including the leader herself, were nicely put off their, guard by sheer force of habit, and sang In Welsh. They, however, incurred no offense, but on the contrary were thanked for their mistake. Those who have heard the native music of Wales confess that It is second to none of any national music. The Folk 8ong society recently organised in Wales has been instrumental in unearthing over 100,000 folk song of the principality, ranging from 50 years to 1.600 years of age. The Royal Welsh Ladles' choir is one of the institutions which helps to perpetuate this unparalleled musical history. TO VISIT MRS. MURRAY. Mrs. John Frances of Cincinnati, Ohio, will come Thursday to be the guests of Mrs. Omar O. Murray at her pretty home In East Main street. Friday Mrs. Murray will give a luncheon for her guests. Bridge will feature the afternoon. This promises to be one of the most enjoyable parties of the week. SHENK WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Shenk recital at Earlham on the evening of March 6th, bids fair to be one of the most successful musical events of the season, as a large number will go out from town. Street car accommodations have been arranged and there will be cars waiting at the entrance of the grounds after the concert. FLOWERS IN A WINDOW. Did you ever stop to observe how the beauty and brightness flowers Is lent to the faces of women who lovingly care for them? There is a certain relation between the, flowers that grow in the pott In the window and ones own spirits. And whether conscientiously or not, you are affected in no email degree by the blossoms and their state of prosperity. If the flowers come out bravely and bloom aa they should, you are correspondingly elated. The sight of them tranoallises the nerves. The perfume from them soothes the temper. The very presence of the cheery growing things makea you content with the earth and your lot upon it. And this is felt not only by you. but by every man and woman who grows flowers and love them. Have you not among your acquaintances some kind soul who revels in her window garden? In the winter it is filled with bloom, when other windows stare bleak and bare into the sullen street. In the summer it is twice as gay; and the woman who tends the garden spot Is seen perpetually hover, lng over the sweet beds. Old you ever know such a woman to be peevish; pessimistic or anything but busy and contented with life? She

herself Is a bright flower casting beauty and cheer into the world. The secret lies in the fact that we get out of life only what we put into it. We grow only as we give. The care of flowers is good exercise for the muscles and bettor still for the nerves, for it trains to tenderness of touch; the thought of them is good occupation for the mind; the love for them develops and sweetnens the spirit Love for flowers is sunshine in the soul. The heart that is devoted to flowers Is a flower garden itself, sweetening Its atmosphere with immeasurable influences for good.

The Indiana Artists traveling exhibit, under the direction of the chairman of the'art committee of the State Federation, Mrs. M. F. Johnston of Richmond, is now on its helpful rounds, doing more than many persons realize to mold the public taste and to create a demand for the best in art. During the display in Winchester, the week of February 15th, under the auspices of the Woman's

club of that town. Invitations were sent to clubs In neighboring towns, and many enjoyed the pictures who otherwise would not have had the opportunity. Lasf. week, while the exhibit was in Connersville, the audience room of the public library where the pictures were shown, was crowded day and night. The increasing popularity of the exhibits demonstrates that all the public needs in order to enjoy and recognize good art, is the opportunity to see and know it. Mrs. Johnston deserves great credit for her persevering labors in this direction and must derive increasing satisfaction from the consciousness that she is thus serving the people.

FADS AND FASHIONS NEW YORK, March 4 There are many indications that the coming Spring season will see a revival of the taffeta fad. The Spring models shown in the shops include a large variety of taffeta frocks and they seem to please the fancy of the buyers. Women, who are compelled to use strict economy in matters of dress, will do well, however, to thing twice before they invest In a taffeta frock. In the firBt place only the best grades of taffeta look well and last through the season and fine grade taffetas are not particularly inexpensive; in the second place taffeta, although undoubtedly a beautiful material when of good quality, $100 Total Adder Prists Sales Strip of Business.

is not suitable for every kind of frock, aa it lacks the soft clinging quality which the present fashionable silhouette demands. For elegant costumes for afternoon wear it may be used to advantage either alone or In combination with some other material, but for plain tailored costumes it is entirely unsuited. Apropos of summer possibilities and taffetas, the gay hued taffeta coataee forn with lingerie frocks' last sum

mer and even the summer before, has lineal descendents. With an adorable lingerie frock of embroidered net and lace a French designer has provided a sort of belted Russian blouse in changeable taffeta of the luscious watermelon pink tones. This coat or blouse or tunic, or whatever one may choose to call it, is sleeveless, cut a little low and round in the neck, opens down the shoulders with rows of small buttons in an odd shade of green which harmonizes beautifully with the pink and has little embroidered imitation eyelets of green. There is the very narrowest of embroidered lines in green around the neck, the arm holes and the blouse tablier which rounds up to the belt at each side. A double row of green buttons and embroidered button boles trims the front of the blouse down to the bust line, though the blouse fastens invisibly under the left arm. A narrow folded girdle is of the silk with a little shirred and corded ornament of the silk for winish, and the tablier falls well below the hips. Such a blouse could be worn effectively over any sheer frock and something on the general lines but less handsome might be very attractive. There are, too, little taffeta boleros,

The majority of these coats are made much like those of the winter, but with slightly more skirt width toward the bottom and, of course, in light weight materials.
