CLUB WOMEN PLAN "PLAY DAY" CLOSE
 TO BIG CONGRESS

New York, June 1-Three sessions today. morning, afternoon and even ing, will wind up the business of the thirteenth biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs Many of the delegates started home this morning and it is estimated that at least five hundred left the city without waiting to vote at yesterdays election.
 It is expected that the Louisiana and Arkansas delegations will ask for the next meeting of the biennial con- Vention, and that the contest will be between New Orleans and Hot Springs.
 Tomorrow will be known as New York'S P1ayday.'' The visiting dele gates and c1ubwomen will be taken on excursions about the city and several of the chamber of commerce on a sail up the Hudson to West Point and return.
 Proof of the strenuous activities in which the club women have indu1ged during the last few days was furnished today by the news that at least one hundred visitors had been treated every day at the emergency stations set up by local women physicians members of the federation, at the convention hall and in hotels. Most of the cases treated were due to phy- sica1 exhaustion and mental excite ment resulting from the work of the convention and too much sightseeing. One delegates, Mrs. Nicholas Peters, of Syracuse, N. Y., was stricken with heart trouble and died on the train Monday night on her way home.

CIRCUS MOTHER HAS
 MUCH TO WORRY HER
"Ma" Talbot, of Barnum 6 Bailey's Has Devoted
 Her Life to the
 Show Folks.

To those few who are familiar with the daily life and habits of that pecu- 1iar1y clannish, but intensely human
 class of people known "circus folks,' no story of the white tops'' is complete without a mention of one important parsonage known to all of them as Mother
 Every circus, big little, has it's circus mother, but no woman in the world is better loved and respected by circus people generally than is Mrs.
 Emma Talbot, the little mother of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, coming to Bridgeport, on June g. For more than twenty years she has devoted her life to the comfort and welfare of the several hundred ton.
 -i Officially Mrs. Talbot is the natron
 of the women's dressing tents, but to
 the performers she is a great deal
 more than that She is general cha
 peron, hospital nurse, friend, guide and counsellor. Men, women and children alike go to her for aid from
 the petty troubles that are bound to obtrude in the strenuous life of the circus. She is cheery, sympathetic or admonitory as the occasion may re-
 quire, but no one leaves her presence without receiving aid.
 Many of the unmarried men and boys of the circus make Mother Ta1-
 bot'' the official custodian of their saw ings and they deposit a stipend with
 her every week on pay day. They well know that no plea will force her to disgorge until the last of the sea- sons performances is over. Then the amassed savings is handed over with an injunction to be careful throughout the winter.
 | Mrs. Talbot has spent most of her life with. >circuses, having been a per former in her younger years. She is now 6S years old, but hopes to remain with the white tops'' for the rest of
 her life. She is a great favorite
 among the children of the various per
 formers, and every day during the
 circus she conducts a school for the youngsters. Under her tuition they recite their lessons just as do the oth- CT children who live in houses and don't wear tights and spangles. Mrs. Talbot is also the mistress of the wardrobe department and she su- pervises the mending of the thousands
 of costumes and trappings used in the performances and parade. The Bar
 num& Bailey circus is this season car rying the most elaborate and costly wardrobe costumes in it's history, used in the magnificent spectacular display | Persia, or the Pageants of the Tho1-
 sand and One Nights the gorgeous, Oriental production which the circus is featuring this season.
