Following this stupendous exhibit

They are busy all the time with
comical limitations and parodies
which poke good-natured fun at
timely topics and well-known person
ages. No matter how thrilling or
daring the performances in the rings
or tent top, these humorists effect
to take all things lightly and so
temper the program with constant
merriment They ride in crazy auto
mobiles and crazier looking subma-
rines, shoot each other from big
wooden cannon and commit all man
ner of Tom-foolery so dear TO the
hearts Of the youngsters. In addi-
ton 10 the two-legged clowns are
many dumb comedians in the vast
trained animal department. This in
novation occupies an entire number
in what is by far the most novel pro-
gram ever devised by these famous
showmen. Here are found the
clowns of donkeyland, bearland,
ponyland, dogland and all the rest
of the testers which master trainers
have developed in the animal king
dom.

Garden parties were the favorite
form Of entertaining last week, In
spite of the April weather prevail
ing. May is usually the month for
garden parties but this May has
been chilly, with threatening skies
prevailing, making heavy gowns
and furs popular. The light and
airy frocks available for garden
parties haven't been wearable at
all and the success OF an outdoor
function is anything but assured.
Yet that form of entertainment
was most popular last week.
All of the suburban homes now
are occupied and many Of them
were or will be the scene Of al
fresco functions. Under ordinary
conditions. society would expect
about now a garden party or two
at the White House, but with the
President not yet well. II 10 not
likely that there will be any en-
tertaining at all at the Executive
Mansion. There Is nothing that
Washington enjoys more than q
reception given by the Chief Ex
ecutiye and the first lady of IN
land on the sweeping south lawn
of the White House. with tea
served under a colorful marquee
and the receiving party. the Presi-
dent in white fiannels and hra
Wilson in some attractive light
colored gown, standing on a strip
OF green carpet, and the Marine
Band playing from an improvised
platform.
The week opened with an ont
door party when the Speaker Of
the House and Mrs. Frederick H.
Gillett gave a reception last sun
day at "Grasslands." the smart
country club adjoining "Friendships
the suburban home Of the Ned Nc
Leans. "Grasslands'' is the name
given the old Colonial house and
grounds of this modern and ultra
fashionable club by the late WILL
lam c. Whitney, who occupied 1t as
his suburban home when Secretary
OF the Navy during the first Cleve-
land administration.
Though the Speaker and his wife
received their guests in the ball
room, the company spent most Of
the afternoon On the wide veran-
das aad lawE of the club. One
young daughter OF the hostess, Miss
Frances HoaT, assisted at the tea
table, with the aid of several Of
her young friends. Both of the
