Mrs. White, the elephants dressmak-
er, prepares their spring clothes while
the circus is in winter quarters. She
seems to have a natural gift for her
work. She has, she says, "a general
idea" of the size and shape of an eIe-
plants cover. With that in her mind
she plans out how she will decorate
it with embroidery. stars and spangles.
She next cuts a big piece OF muslin of
| the size and shape she wants. Then
she takes her scissors. pins and needles
and goes to the winter home of the cir
Gus animals. The keepers bring out OF
his stable an elephant and have him
stand in an open space where his
dressmaker can move around him. A
step ladder is brought and Mrs. White
climbs upon that TO measure her huge
customer. She fits his blanket or
headdress upon him. taking in a seam
here, cutting out a gore there and max
ing the garment fit the animal.
In all the years she has been an ami
mails dressmaker, no harm has ever
happened to the little lady. The ele-
phant stands like a lamb, generally
softly swaying his trunk from side to
side while she works over him. She
thinks elephants are much more pa
tient as dressmakers' customers than
some fine ladies are. For one thing,
she has never felt the slightest fear Of
any of the beasts she has cut and fitted
clothes for and she thinks that is the
main reason they have never offered
any resistance or been cross to her.
She declares all animals know If those
around them are in fear of them and
slways take advantage of this fear. If
any creature sees you fear it IL will
Immediately give you something to be
afraid OF.
Mrs. White fits the other animals-the
ones that have sense enough to stand
still and be gentle. that is-in the same
manner as she does the elephant She
doesn't fit clothes upon monkeys be-
cause they are vicious and fight and
scratch when an attempt is made to
measure them. So that monkeys fine
clothes are cut by Mrs White by

guess after looking at the funny little
simians. The keepers put the things
upon the monkeys somehow, and a
tough time they have of it too, for
monkeys don't like clothes and fight
every step of the dressing, no matts-
how pretty the garments are.
Mrs. White works industriousiy
through the winter fitting out her four
footed customers, and when the circus
starts out about Easter time they all
appear respIendent in their new Easter
clothes Fashions in animal dressing

more expensive every year. An ele-

he struts along at the head Of the pro-
cessjon in his gold and purple! 1 have
heard lately an excellent story showing
the elephants fondness for beautiful
and shining trappings. The proprietor
OF circus bought a new trained ele-
phant that was supposed to be one of
the most intelligent and kindest of his
tribe. But, TO the intense disappoint-
ment OF his owner, he wouldn't do one
single thing that was wanted Of him.
He skunk back gloomy and suIky. AS
TO stalking along in a procession, he
just wouldn't do that at all. The owner
decided that his new investment was a
dead loss About that time the big
aT-
there, hunting employment He was
told of the sulky, bad elephant.

the former trainer, just as if the ele-
phant had been a human being. And

indeed, he was much like one. The old
trainer had a long talk" with the new
elephant Then he went to the circus
proprietor.
Let me have IS to spend on him and
III guarantee TO make him do whatever
you want" said the trainer.
The money was given 10 him. He
went to a store and bought a quantity
Of gaudy colored cloth and a lot Of shin
ing tinsel ornaments. He deCked the
big beast out with these from head TO
foot, just before the parade was ready
TO start Then when ali was ready he
just said to the elephant:
Come on" Instantly the elephant
moved on proud as a peacock and took
his proper place at the head of the
show, the wonder and admiration Of all
the young people who saw him.
He was the proudest, happiest eIe-
phant in the States that day. He sim
ply would not make a public appear
ance without his good clothes. This
was all that was the matter with him.
