What Became Of Circusman Coup 4
Rolling Palaces. That Were
Once the Rage.

For long time nearly everybody in
the south knew about "Coup's Rolling
Palaces" but probably none know ex-
actly what became of them. The roll
ing palaces consisted of train of cars
specially built SO as 10 be connected al,

museum. huge aquarium. a congress
of freaks and finally an auditorium de-
partment. where brief vaudeville per-
formances were given. The whole
thing was most deliberately got up. was
brilliantly lighted by its own dynamos.
and cost 100000 to construct. 1t was
the idea of Coup. the veteran circus
man, and he had been gradually tigur-
ing it out for years. When he had it
perfected he had no money. and was
obliged to take in what show people
call "cOmmercial capital" In other
words. business men backed it. ana
we're foolish enough to insist on doing
the managing after Coup had taken it
through the south for one extremely
profitable season. The thing was a
huge money maker. properly handled.
The people would be let in at one end
and kept moving until they emerged al
the other. and many would make he
circuit two or three times. Under the
business mems management it lost
heavily. however. and finally. after in

brought to Chicago and sold TO a va

one at time. Fragments OF the old
outfitare now wandering about through
obscure country towns. piloted by fly

strange freaks. That was the end of
the great rolling palaces that are still
distinctly remembered in scores of
smaller southern cities. 1t was a
grotesque fate for really big amuse-

The monogrammed glove is the very
latest thing. and. OF course. it is worn
only by the extremist of fashion. To
make the monogrammed gloves you get
a pair Of plain kid gloves. with as little
stitching upon the back as possible.
Black and white are the best coors.
Now mark upon the back of the gloves
your monogram, or get it stamped
there. With silk the color of your
walking dress you now embroider the
monogram. making it about the size

SHOULD AVOID GRAY TONES
Not All Women can Wear That Color
Despite Seemingly Popular
Impression.

fhe curions thing about gray is that
women never understand its tones,
The middle-aged. the invalid. the anae-
mic, the unstylish. and many others of
their kind choose gray whenever in
doubt. They don't look any further.
II they didn't want to wear black,
they buy gray, haphazard, with a sat
isfied feeling that they couldn't have
made mistake, says a writer.
They have made serious mistake.
None Of these women should wear
gray. AS rule it produces the most
lifeless look to the face that any color
does except black. Young girls, who
have brilliant coloring, can wear it,;
and those well-fed matrons who have
rounded lines and red cheeks can
choose gray without another thought.
But the pale, the frail, the middle
aged woman, with lines under her
eyes and without color in her cheeks
should dread gray as she does a dull
wet day. 1t depresses every look of
vitality about her.

Shortly after the Christmas holidays
she eloped with me and we were mar.

nearly six months. I was then, as now,
travelling salesman, and, returning
from business trip, found Nan gone,
leaving no trace. She had told me
that her parents lived in WELLINGTON,
Kan, but I found this to be untrue.

Felix, when he had finished, "other

What should I have?" argued the
stranger. What motive would a man
