Women Who Defy Death.


The mistake of an inch means death
to the girl in the blue tights She is
swinging head down, and the swaying
man in the trapeZe holds her ankles
firmly-below them stretches the
hard, dull surface OF the tan bark, a
sheer drop of thirty-five feet. There
is no safeguarding net. This man is
to throw her 10 another man in an
other trapeze. who is TO catch her
wrists and hold her. If either relaxes
his grasp, or misses, the girl in the
blue tights will drop like rock. IN
like rock, her body might bound up
ward before it settled into helpless
heap. Once she had seen a snap
hook" break in a flying act" hurting
the women in the trapeZe downward
with the force of a bullet from a rife.
The recoil tossed her body twelve
inches from the ground. She was
dead when the painting men with the
stretcher reached the doctors wagon.
Not that the girl in the blue tights
thinks Of these things as she poises
thoughts are conferred on the swaying
man holding her ankles, the man
whose life and her own depends on his
quickness of eve and action.
The man sets the trapeze swinging,
not slowly but with a strong, swift
movement. They. sweep so far to the
left that she can almost touch the roof
with her hands. When they swing
back she will be tossed upward and
outward into space. She must COM
plete a somersault and reach the arms
of the other man on the other swing
ing trapeze at the precise moment
they are below her Her problem is
reduced to tenths OF seconds.
Now Her downward journey be-
gins. To the breathless audience it
seems an eternity. The girl in the
blue tights is cutting the air in an
arc as clean as the fall of an arrow.
Like the fash of a spring the hands
of the man dart toward her, the I'm
gers spread wide, clutching for her
wrists. Only six inches separate the
two. Another breath and they have
met. The grasping hands touch her
arms, close over them, and are torn
away. But, see-they have caught
again! Desperately the mans fingers
slide downward, fighting for every
inch Of the smooth, white skin. Is IL
too late for a firm hold? All The
cropping hands have paused. They
have fastened in the thin leather
bands around the girls wrists,
smeared with resin for just such
emergencies. The mans muscles
stand out like whipcord, but they
could bear double the strain. The
girls fight is brought to a halt. She
has grazed again the clutch of Death.

The question of gloves for summer
days is a very trying one to most
men, and It usually answers itself by
their deciding not to wear any at all.
AS this is obviously solecism, and
even If persisted in during the very
hottest OF the dog days, one that must
be frowned upon during these first
summer weeks. a number of sugges-
lions have been offered for the pur-
pose of overcoming the objection Of
the man in the street to the wearing
OF gloves. Among these are the va
rious kinds of fabric gloves which
are being shown in a number of the
shops. Chief among these are the
silk gloves, which for some time past
have been more or less frequently
seen in various shades of grays, but
(which are now being offered in very
