There was an abrupt pause here. Mr.

down town There was a clamorluE from
everybody. all asking him n once what ~
thunder this meeting Of circus girls was
all about.
The publicity man was yisibly embar-
raised. For the life of him M couldn't
remember what the circus girls now IN
New York had met to discuss or organize
when they had got together early In the
morning at the oxford Hotel at 50 East
twenty seventh street
From other sources. however, il was
learned that on Saturday night BIZ was

own head had cooked up "A scheme to send

AS Mr.. Thompson waves older and
wiser In his business ON" of the things
that II IL hoped he will learn is that no

cause TIE SIN or any other newspaper
