A BACKLOT CIRCUS

cows stable one day, had rushed
out only to find her small soon
ruefully sitting on the stable
floor nursing bumped and bleed

looking wild. When questioned,
Billy refused to explain, for what
could a mere woman be expected
to know how necessary it was to
turn somersaults on Bessie S
back in preparation for the grand
circus?
1t had rained the night before,
but the morning of the circus
dawned bright and pleasant. A
short time after breakfasts were
over the back fence seats of the
pasture were selling rapidly to
eager youngsters for two cents
each.
Slim girls with prim pigtails
and huge bows smiled in blissful
happiness as their heroes came on
the field. Fat rolypoly girls were
trying their very best to balance
themselves on the fence, and the
boys were sitting on the top with
their toes twisted under the low
er board.
Only one girl, Dotty Fair, had
been invited to join the circus.
She had pony, and was to be
the bareback rider. Chester was
to be master of affairs. An uncle
who was cavalry officer in the
army had given him a pony and
taught him how to ride and
jump. Besides, Chester was the
only possessor of a pair of really
truly riding breeches.

Halloween Don'ts.
DON'T be too formal.

DON'T scare anyone; especially

Reading and rocking make a
splendid com bination for temper.
airy comfort, and combination
unsurpassed for producing perma-
nent discomfort. Reading on the
street car produces the same eff
feet, though busy people some
times practice 1t for years with
impunity.
Children are more liable to
consider the care of their eyes
than their parents. for they have
been trained in school not to
read facing glare, not to read in
a dull light, and to have the light
fall over the left shoulder when
ever 1t can fe managed.
Reading while lying down need
not necessarily be harmful. When
the book is supported steadily at
the same angle with the eyes
that the. reader maintain when
sitting there is no eye strain, and
no injury.

manageable COW came wildly tear
ing across her path, when the
pony SHE'D, fell and rolled in the
slippery mud, landing Dotty, lace
curtain and all, in a puddle of
mud and water. That frightened
poor Bossy still more, as she
wasn't used to being circus
performer, and her believing
brought older people to the
scene.
Nobody could scold-the sight
was too funny! A wet, bedrag-
gled Dotty was limping about
leading a muddy pony. A dis
couraged-looking clown was rae
ing madly after a bawling COW
who was frightening everybody
out of her way.
That afternoon the perform
ers counted the money from the
fence receipts, and wondered If
the circus paid, after all.

Why are so many society girls
pretty? Because. as a rule, they
are the product of generations of
high breeding and culture. When
women understand that beauty of
character, elegance of manner
and knowing how to be charming
is the whole beauty fortune in
stead of mere features, there will
be a wonderful rush for self
culture. To be beautiful should
be a very important matter to

CYNTHIA GREYS
CORRESPONDENTS

Dear Miss Grey:
am a young married woman of
16. I am 8 feet inches tall.
How shall l wear my hair. and
how long should my dresses be?
MRS. D. H.
A.: You OUGHT to be wearing
short dresses and your hair in a
braid down your back. Since you
ARE married, however, your
skirts should reach to your ankles
and your hair may be softly
combed back from your forehead
and coiled at the nape of the neck,
or little higher If that fashion
is more becoming. If your face
is slender, puff the hair slightly
at the sides.
Dear Miss Grey:
In speaking of a large firm,
does the Go" mean the share
holders only, or is the employee the
Go" also? There is a saying
GAS blind as a MOLE" Is a mole
blind? A SUBSCRIBER.
A: GO" means the sharehold-
ers in a corporation or partners
in partnership.
Moles have very small eyes.
They are not blind.
Dear Miss Grey:
II one attends a wedding, is it
necessary to give present?
A: No. Especially if you can
not afford it.
Dear Miss Grey:
Please tell me how to make
filled noodles. ALICE.
A.: Beat an egg slightly, add a
half teaspoon salt and flour
enough to make a stiff dough.
Knead, and roll as smoothly as
possible in two thin sheets. On
one sheet put here and there lit
tie dabs of spinach which have
been cooked with salt pork. Place
the other sheet over the first one,
cut in squares and pinch togeth-
er with the fingers. Drop into
your veal or chicken soup and
cook until done.
Finely minced chicken giblets
are used sometimes instead OF
spinach.
Dear Miss Grey:

father is engaged to my husband e
mother. VIII You express your
opinion about it? Don't you
think one marriage in the family
is enough?
