Editor The Missourian:-It was, l
believe. Ebert Hubbard who said that
the charm of the homemade article
lies in its imperfections. Certainly
individuality, whether civic or per-
sonal. expresses itself best and most
truly in the little homemade touches
that depart in some direction from
perfection. For this reason am sor-
ry to see some headway being made
by those who would like to do away
with the stepping stones, which give
quaint and attractive touch to many
Of our cross streets.
The deadly dullness of appearance
Of our best manicured towns of the
Middle West is welcomed by CONNER
cial clubs as evidence Of progress and
prosperity. A few miles of smooth
streets. busy business block or two,
some ornamental lights that make
the moon an impertinence. an opera
house, a flock Of movies and garages
are the unfailing marks of progress.
You see them everywhere. There Is
no room In this collection for the his
toric touches that make one town
different and more attractive to the
stranger than others. No room here
for such useless junk as columns or
stepping stones or other reminders
Of an outgrown past. And yet / feel
sure that many will agree with me
that such things have their place and
their usefulness. too, in our life. Let
US not remove all the old landmarks
and pretend we never had a past.-L.

II. Potter and others OF the entertain

the details of the ball have so far
achieved their desire to make the event
something that will attract and interest
that already most OF the seats for the
IL O'Clock circus performance have
been sold. This will he preceded by a
performance at o'clock.
The idea Of the entertainment took so
well that II was decided to give spe-
cial childrens matinee, and now the
younger element of society will have an
opportunity of seeing what is in store
for their elders in the evening. The
matinee will begin at 3 o'clock. Tickets
for the afternoon show are $3.50 each

evening performances, tickets for which
are So each. There will he special
row of boxes arranged in front of the
circus ring seating six at $50 each. and
the first two rows OF general seats will
be sold at So each.
Mr.. Sherry is giving his personal aid
to the committee in order to make the
circus as realistic as possible. The cir
Gus ring itself will be typical of the
arrangements carried out at a show
under canvas. There will be tiers Of
seats elevated from the boxes and with
these seats filled with society in even
ing dress the scene will present an in
teresting picture. The acts" will come
on from the conservatory end Of the
ballroom through an aisle leading to
the ring.
The programme will contain as many
real circus features az possible and
there Will be any number Of amusing
