which they do not portray in some
ludicrous manner. They pantomime
public and political events, but with
so much good humor that the BIT
terest of factionists pound each
other on the back and roar with
laughter. The clowns do not fear
to enter the land of invention, but
introduce gaudy painted airships
which skim around in the tent top
and explode while in mid-air. They
fit over the hippodrome track in
queer looking racing cars and high
speed motor boats. They throw ter
rible looking but quite innocent
bombs. They mimic everybody and
everything. Sandwiched between
the gorgeousness of the mammoth
new Introductory pageant and the
laundering chariot races, the funny
fellows are in all places and up to
all manner of tricks. These droll
fellows represent the pick of the
worlds most famous sawdust come

ducing clowns of the two circuses
that have this season been merged

Very simple frocSs of fine cotton
goods in gay colors or OF handkerchief

they are all dressed up. Cotton crepe,
batiste, lawn and Organdie usually fur

batiste or val lace or fancy needle
work the trimming for these fine af-
fairs, and hand work puts the hall
mark Of elegance on them. And when
the little boy Of three or more must
be dressed up to match the splendor
of his sister he is likely to appear in
Knockers of pongee or ether strong

made of strong cottons, like cotton
poplin and pique, while these and
ginghams or chambrays serve for the
daily wear of little girls.
Between the two extremes Of very
dainty and sheer things, for special oc-
casions, and heavy cottons, come the
durable printed voiles. They make
very practical frocks that are more
dressy than ginghams A good many
of these initiate ginghams in plaids

Both Suits and Dresses.

Owing to the proportions of the
present demand for womens wear
the coming fall season promises TO
see suits and dresses bought in equal
amounts. Only a short time ago In
the history of the dress trade it was
always a question of a choice between
the two styles of garments, with rare
ly a time when both We're equally
good. Manufacturers of dresses nold
the present demand for quality re-
sponsible in a measure for the field
that exists for both suits and dresses
and as long as both maintain high
standards they stand the same chance
of acceptance. This stabilizing OF
conditions has been decidedly vel

When any greasy substance has

pressing with warm iron.
