Il should say Venus was slightly
bow-legged," was Warren's irrelevant
comment.
When half a dozen other groupings
had been shown the curtain was low
cred, the banging at the piano ceased,
and tall, thin man in evening dress
stepped out to the front Of the stage.
1t was the hypnotsigt. Helen could
not understand his rapid French, but
plainly his remarks were to impress
his audience wit hthe scene that was
to follow. Then he stepped back and
| the curtain rose.
| Beside him on the stage stood girl
| in a gauzy blue tinselled gown. 1t
was the same girl who had posed in
the living pictures as Venus.
She smiled and bowed to the aud
fence, then lay down at the back Of
the stage on a bench draped with blue
velvet. The hypnotist stood over her
and made mysterious passes with his
hands.
Slowly-very slowly-the girls rig
i'd form seemed to rise from the bench.
The man continued to make the
passes until her body was suspended
in the air about a foot above the
bench, Then taking hoop, he dra-
matically passed it over and around
the girl.
Through the audience rippled a
murmur of amazement. With another
| impressive bow the hypnotst resumed
the passes with his hands and slowly
the girls body sank back to the
bench.
He snapped his fingers, the girl
opened her eyes and sat up. The next
moment he led her smiling to the
front of the stage, and the curtain
fell amid loud applause.
THAT WAS wonderful" whispered
Helen, as they made their way out.
Huh, that trick is as old as the
hills" scoffed Warren.
But, dear, how could it be trick?''
She must have been suspended or he
couldn't have passed that hoop around
her body"
"Oh, she was held up there by sup
ports or wires, all right. l read an
expose on that-but l forget how it is
DONE"
But Helen was unconvinced. To her
the act had seemed very genuine and
she was leather to believe it merely

would have had the same firm belle
in his success.

But l thought you said Friday was

Yes, Friday is the big night, but II

They had just finished their dinner
in a rather smart French restaurant
on the Boulevard Capucines. A few
moments later they were on bus

freshingly cool. Soon they were

Even from a distance Helen could
see outlined by the lights the Ferris
wheels and scenic railways which
made it look like Coney Island.
AS they left the bus and walked ul
the hill towards the glittering en-
trance, they could hear the clash OF
brass band, mingled with the grind
ing music of the carousals, and the
shrieks of the passengers on the
thrilling scenic roads.
