who must always be at the height OF
physical perfection. strength and
beauty and grace, cannot mix with
late suppers and all the alleged joys
of the after play parties. 1t is eter-

And this was Emma Stickney
speaking, one of the arenic stars OF
the Ringing show, and who has
known no other life than that under
the canvas. She learned to ride
when but a child, furthermore, she
was taught to somersault and other
acrobatics, and after a while she was
sent to dancing school to give her
grace. And now, one of the world s
best riders, she still practices every
morning with all the studious care
she did when but novice.
The women of the circus are won
derful specimens of womanhood.
They have developed the physical be-
ing to its highest state and achieved
feats of great dare and marvellous
skill, yet they are just as feminine
as their sisters, whose applause their
ring and arenic work wins. The lit
tie woman, who with a thrilling
shrek makes the perilous leap from
6O-foot high trapeze and is caught
by her foot, is an expert at needle
work Another who rides and leaps
over banners and is at perfect ease
on tip toe when at a gallop, is found

in return learning English. Another
is an adept at manicuring. Still an
other woman, whose husband, a
clown, has real estate and business
interests in Long island, writes his
letters on a typewriter placed on the
top of a costume trunk, while he die
tates still dressed in the motley of
the ring. Nearly all have cameras
and make pictures of the places in
each town they visit. And if you
please, the daTning of fathers socks
and the patching of little Willie's
pants is just as frequent in the
dressing top as il is at any home.
When the Ringlings pitch their acres
of canvases at Moline tomorrow,
take a peep into these surround ngs
and find out why the, women of the
circus are so respected. why the men
are so gallant where the family ties
are seldom broken. where scandal
seldom stalks. and where jealousy
and gossip are unknown.
No story Of the women Of the
Ringing circus would be complete
