Fashions for Elephants.
From the woman's Home Companion.


Oh. well we all have known for a long
time that the elephant has had trunk, but
here we find him with a wardrobei For, be-
side each elephant is a large box, painted
bright green and labeled with the owners
name, and there they keep their wonderful
clothes.
Somewhere In that great building and
high above the shouts of a hundred attend
ants, trainers and keepers. sounds a bell
Quick, jerk yourself away into come safe
corner out of sight OF that hurrying crowd
of men who eye you suspiciously as an out
slider, out Of reach of those huge hoofs, for
it is time to dress the elephants and you
want to see the operation.
In moment you realize that these beasts
are royal indeed. for each has a score OF
Wallets who dance attendance In a very
strenuous fashion for the next few mo-
ments.
There goes the cloak that Mrs. White told
you about. The head valet adds the triaing
information. that the garment contains two
hundred buttonhoies all made by hand.
These buttonholes slip over little brass
knobs or hooks that are all around the low
er edge of the wooden chair or car that the
elephant carries on his back, and so stays
securely in place.
Suddenly you. grasp Mrs Whites hand.
She is cornered somewhere In the dark with
you, and you ask:
Dont-don't they wear anything except
coats?"
"Oh yes" answers Mrs. White, hats"
You are silent for a moment, but your
curiosity win not be kept down long.
But nothing else-neyer anything but
coats and hatsg
And Mrs White laughs because she has n
sense of humor. and who could make ele-
phan coats for thirty-five years without
having a broad. generous appreciation or
the ridiculous.
"Oh, yes" she says. sometimes There's
Babe-that little elephant over thcre-he
wars pantalo because he Is the clown"
And you put your thinking cap and won-
der why she put In the because
