seeking enlightenment. To him the agent told of the difficulties in getting together the worlds greatest artists, who are with the Gentry Shows this season.
 No one realizes, said the agent, what difficulties beset the managers of shows when they are booking acts which are a part of the show. To give one an idea of that merely have to tell you of few of the details de- pendent upon the work.
 Last winter when our organlz- CT went labroad he travelled for weeks incognito. He visited the circus buildings and the theaters, carefully scanning t h e many features to select those t h t would most please American audiences. Finally he decided upon the acts wanted and then his real work began.
 He sought t h persons he wanted to bring to this country.

They were skeptical, did not want to come to America and were afraid to trust themselves in this country away from home and friends. Consequently, it was up to a resourceful Ameri- can to overcome these prejudices. Offer of salaries, far in excess of those paid in Europe, constituted the first attraction. Then with the aid of United States consuls, the foreigners were assured of the integrity of American Insti- tutions.
 After many weeks of negotiat- ion contracts were closed by agentsof Gentry Brothery Shows. AS a result they are presenting this season many things new to America. Among them a r e Bouchard and Blanchard, Ger many's leading acrobats; Mar celle and Lennet, tumblers from Paris; the Cevene Trio of ariel artists, Madam HelOise, the world'sI greatest equestrienne, and Capt. Boucharo, Spain's greatest animal trainer, w h o presents a wild animal act that is without peer.
 The greatest trouble with fore ign performers, concluded the agent, is teaching them Ameri- can customs. However there are few foreigners who come here for a season that do not be- come American citizens. After the novelty wears off they real ize the liberties of this Country and become Americans.

A small town in Illinois is advertis-
ing for a business manager. The pop
ulation is 5000; the village budget
includes some sizable items, as $4,000
for a water-works system; and on a
salary of $4,000 the manager win ad-
minister all the town S affairs save the
public schools. He must see that the
town gets what it pays for in its con.
tracts, and he must eliminate politics.
This advertisement calls attention to
the fact that new profession has
doomed up on the horizon. What is
wanted is a man who stands for eff
cheney, and who has a large endow-
ment of sound horse-sense. In several
communities town managers have been
doing good service.

distinctive bunch of futurist flowers.
They have been used at the cOrsage.
on the hat, at the belt and on the neck
ruff. Behold them now fastened pert
ly to net, lace or ivory FAM They are
effective, too, the gaudy stiff flowers
against the dainty white fan. They
are generally caught about the stems
to the outside stick of the fan, and
one of the flowers is fastened securely
in place farther along the stick. Ar
ranged in this manner they do not in
terfere with the opening and shutting
of the fan
The woman who can use n paint

lace fan with spots and blotches of
brilliant color-cerise. orange, purple
and bright green-in oil paints.
