their pink tights like the most common

One afternoon recently some so or go
of these fair entertainers were gathered
in tent in Chicago. With their chat

resembled a lot of church women at a
sewing circle. only they didn't say any
thing unkind of any one. Week after

they always are kind and good to each

In fact it is in this language that the
daughters from sunny Italy make their
wants known. Now and then an ex-

neighbor a loving tap betrays that her
birth took place on the Emerald Isle.
But, no matter how short a time they
have in which to don the gorgeous raj
ment in which they are to please the
hundreds of boys and girls, there is al
ways plenty of time to lend a helping
hand to button UP a frock which fastens
in the back or to help tie some long
string which keeps on one of the many
dainty white petticoats of the bareback
rider. Each one helps her neighbor,
and they have them on each side, for
each woman's place is in front of her
big circus trunk The two or three feet
in front of it is home. At least it is
for the most of her summer life, for
these professional women so dearly love
their life that they do not often care
to wander far away from the tent.
