IN THE SOCIAL REALM

The Tsceminicum club met this
afternoon at the home of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Frank w. Kettenbach.
The program consisted Of an address
by the president, the report of the
delegates sent to the state fedora
ton, Mrs. B.. F. Morris and Mrs f.
W. Eaves, and vacation sketches by
members. This latter feature was
especially interesting because of the
fact that SO many of the members
spent the summer in outing trips
W dely separated, some at the sea
coast. some on the Sound, others in
the mountains and at inland lake re-
sorts. During the afternoon Miss
Mary Eaves sang Paulo Tosti's
Goodbye" Refreshments were
served. The work Of the year was
pleasantly launched The coming
programs are Of special interest.

.HOWE'S GREAT
LONDON SHOWS
THE PART THE CLOWN PLAYS
IN A BIG CIRCUS A FEATURE
IN ITS SUCCESS.

The clowning part of circus
program Is not understood by the
outsider. There are times daring
tho show when there is not a clown
in sight, and then in the next in
slant the hippodrome track will al
most swarm with them. They seem
to spring from the ground. and they
will disappear as quickly. The pres
ence OF the clown is appropriate and
is desired with most circus acts.
and again there are some features
which would be ruined II they were
allowed to be clowned
Glowing is a fine art. The best
clowns are born. not made.
When intermingling with citizens
on the streets they would not be
suspected OF being wearers Of thu
loose robe OF fool. but when they
appear in the circus rings with their
nakeups on they laugh and the
crowd laughs with them. They helm
to unload. temporarily. at least. the
cares from the minds of thousands
OF people. These men who appear
so dignified and quiet upon the
streets and out of the circus ring
would never be picked out az being
clowns on the road, but they are.
The work OF the clowns with the
Howe's London Show is not the
same day after day. as they take
delight in springing new jokes and
new tricks upon their co-workers.
