though this pleasant function is more
often reserved for the respite allowed
the circus women between the end of
the afternoon performance and dinner
time, a period given by the men of the
show to baseball or checkers.

formers under tents. Her official duty
is matron of the women's dressing
rooms. She supcrvises their ward
robes, mends sudden breaches in the
tarlatan and bespangled skirts, and
cares for her charges in case of illness
or accident. In short, she is a general
chaperone, hospital nurse, friend and
counsellor in one. Men and women go
to her with the petty troubles that are
bound TO occur in the uncertain and
strenuous existence they lead.

Socialists Call
Lenine a Traitor

The Minority Socialists of Germany,
who charge Lenine and Trotzky and the
Eolsheviki with having betrayed the
Socialist cause by making peace with
Germany, find many reasons for the
betrayal, but none of them creditablc
to the Bolsheviki. The "Novaia jim,
the international Socialist paper edited
by Cork, publishes an article that
comes to it by roundabout means from
a German Socialist of the minority,
which says:
I'm German military circles the sue
cess of the negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk is explained by the fact that
the Russian ENJOYS all drank too much.
We Socialists, who have known Lenne
and Trotzky a long time believe in
their personal honesty. but in explain
ing this treason we find ourselves con-
tronted with an insoluble enigma
There are some who say that per
haps in the beginning the Bolsheviki
took German money to pay the ex-
penses Of their revolutionary campaign
and then found themselves caught in a
trap from which they could not escape.
The German Socialists are forced to
seek some such solution of the prob
lem, for no one here believes the Boil
steviki are sincerely convinced that
their policy is the right one for Russia
and the revolution.
The Russian leaders know Germany

TOO we'll not to understand that there
is no foundation for the only theory on
which their conduct would be justifi-
able. There is not the least hope that
the German proletariat will follow the
revolutionary example of the Russians
II there are some among them who
sympathize with the Russians, the
great majority are in sympathy with
the nationalist and the annexation
lists. 1t is for this reason that the Ger
man government works so theoretically
to spread revolutionary ideas in other
countries. They have nothing to fear
from their own people.
Moreover, the actions of the Boil
shevlki have Gained down the few Ger
man groups who had begun 10 think
with revolutionary turn. They see
peace approaching, and what is the use
of fighting against the masters who
make peace? If peace does not come,
they say, the fault will be with our
enemies, and the German proletariat
will follow with renewed confidence be-
hind Hindenburg and Ludendorff
On the other hand, the Bolsheviki
are not so ignorant as not to see clear
ly that, behind whatever masks the
military party that dominates Germany
may hide, it neither desires nor will
resign itself to a democratic peace. 1t
will sacrifice the last soldier before it
will renouncc the conquests for which
It began the war. 1t is not for moth
ing that since August 4, 1914, the Ger
man government in its conversations
with the leaders of the Reichstag
parties, among whom are included the
Social-Democrats, has declared that
the acquisition of Courland and Lthu-
ania constitutes one of the ends of the
war in the East that will never be
given up.

Performers Born
And Bred to Arena

Nearly all on the list of Earnum &
Bailey circus juvenile performers have
Inherited their strength and skill
They have been literally born to the
arena, and some of them represent the
third and fourth generations of circus
families.
The training of these children begins
at their birth. The chief effort is to
create courage and daring and to de-
velop these qualities where they al
ready exist. The lungs are expanded
by daily exercises and the muscles are
hardened and developed by daily ath
letic work. And every afternoon, after
the matinee, they attend the circus
school and recite their lessons
The domestic instinct is very strong
among the circus women, for the reason
that they are deprived Of home life a
great part of every year. They sew
much, and many of them do exceedingly
pretty fancy work. They are not re-
quired to keep their circus clothes in
order-the circus "mother' does that
but they do all the mending of personal
garments and, besides, keep some sort
OF pickup" work on hand. There isn't
home of circus woman that is not
furnished with the covers of some sort
she has made during the season. Dur.
ing last season the women of the circus
made more than one hundred sweaters
for soldiers.

Practise Domesticity
In Small Towns

One seldom sees circus woman in a
city after the season is over. She fees
from it, for she detests the noise and
hustle, and, almost without exception
the Barnum e. Bailey women all live in
small towns, where they practise their
professional work during the winter
go early to bed and emerge in fine
physical and mental condition for the
spring call to duty.
Meet the circus girl in her home dur
ing the five months of winter when the
circus is alternating in Bridgeport and
you will find her little different thar
the nice girls you know whose vel
balanced brains give orderliness tc
their lives
After leaving Madison Square Gar
den and starting on a tour of the coun.

night and living in dressing tent by

rYHAT about the circus girl-that
w girl that hangs by her teeth
w and gyrates near the peak of
Tho big "white top"-that agile little
me who is thrown into the air by her
brother and lands with accuracy upon
his shoulders-the dancing girl on the
,rsst white horses back-the trapeze
,ri,t who makes you shudder as she
swings out beyond the uncertain safety
# the great net spread below? What
,bout these girls? Are they toughened
,,eatures who must resort to paints
md powders and beaches to recreate
he semblance of departed womanhood ?
Are they impossible persons?
The Barnum & Bailey circus girl,
sen in Madison Square Garden and
under the white top" in almost every
dty in the United States during a cir
sus season, must have youth in the
in: place. and in the second place the
yutdoor life she leads for seven months
il every year and the daily exercise of
.r performance give her the healthy
seeks and perfect body. If she has
uturally beautiful features, their eff
;,ct must be enhanced by the life she
leads, and if her face be shapen along
less lovely lines than a sculptor might
.hsel. there are the glow of health and
SPARKLING eye which create beauty
more dazzling than the mere perfec-
ton Of ensemble.
Hard Circus Life
Days Are Over
Ina great organization like the
Banum & Bailey Circus there is
10 such thing as the old idea of the
hard circus life; there is no Harden
ing influence These girls are better
cared for. have a more potent protec-
ton and lead more sheltered lives than
tie average city girl.
Circus life is gipsying on grand
scale, and the women and children of
the big institution are gypsies on a
salary, but probably the healthiest,
happiest nomads in creation. They
aredominate in the personnel of the
tented amusement colossus. There
are little ones by the score and
Mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hsarts.
When one sits in circus seat and
watches some boy or girl scarcely
bigger than minute performing {
aalrbreadth feat, one perhaps may
wonder what they do when they are
lot driving a tentful of spectators to
me verge OF hysteria, where they come
lson, who are their parents, and what
nsners and mothers are doing while
sae'r offspring are counting death and
aaghlng in its face.
