BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

Three months ago a spangled
crop of circus performers hit
the sawdust trail amidst prom
Uses of the biggest season since
1929. Today, many of them are
hoping to get home without sell
ing the tent.
The circus season has hit
rough waters; in some parts it
has Topped altogether.
At Scranton, Pa, a few weeks
ago, the ''Big One" Ringing
Brothers, Barnum and Bailey,
folded its tent in a sea of mud
and headed back to winter
quarters at Sarasota, Fla.
Strikes, poor attendance and
rainy weather was responsible.
This thing wouldn't have
happened in the days of old
P. T. Barnum or John Ring
ling, peers of the circus
world. But it happened this
year, for the first time in 81
seasons; it happened in a
profession whose followers
additionally carry their ban
ner through mud, water, starvation
and payless paydays. We recall
something about that old bromide,
'"The show must go onl"
Maybe the performers aren't do
ing their part, but that isn't likely.
Maybe the audience is to blame, for
the circus has won popular approval
more than half a century with the
same elephants doing the same
tricks and the same clowns turning
the same somersaults, year after
year.
Time Passes, Customs Change.
These past 20 years have been
fraught with change in the enter
tainment field. ''The Perils of Paul
inc" on the silent screen gave way
to talking pictures; chautauqua ex-
pired as popular pastime, because
people no longer cared for that kind
of culture; the radio came along
and made provincial America cos
mopolitan.
Through it all came the circus,
unchanged. Whenever a progress
sive manager suggested adopting a
new technique there was always
someone to object, because the cir
Gus is one kind of entertainment
that thrives on pure sentiment. It's
always been a ballyhoo game, a
loud-mouthed bag of tricks which
everyone knows to be phoney but
enjoys for that very reason. It's
never been bigger than the man in
the checkered suit and derby hat
who yells Fright this way!" out of
one corner of his mouth, the other
corner being preoccupied by a cigar
stub.
So maybe the audience is to
blame for the Ringing recession.
Maybe fathers getting tired of sit
ting on hard bench year after
year, eating undigestible peanuts
and watching the elephants. Per-
haps America is now revolving
against the old-time circus just as
it revolted against chautauqua.
They Call 1t Collegiate"
But you can't make the old time
sawdust-trail followers believe that.
If the "Big One" never hits the
road again, veteran circus men will
always insist that it died because
John Ringing North tried to mod

ernie the show this year and there
by destroyed its charm.
That's a fruitless argument be-
cause John Ringing North, grand
son of "Old john Ringing, insisted
he was only trying to regain bit
of the old Ringing touch by ar
ranging new costuming and hanging
for the circus this year.
Under the Smaller Tops.
North is a Yale man and there
were mutterings last spring that the
circus was going collegiate. Per-
haps it was collegiate to import a
giant gorilla, "Gargantua the
Great" and set him up for exhibit
ton in an air-conditioned cage, en-
closed in steel bars and shatter-
proof glass. Perhaps other minor
innovations were collegiate. But it
will be hard for John Ringing
North's critics to put their wagging
fingers on the exact reason why his
circus failed this year.
Maybe it was the entertainment;

Afternoon Dress With Stirring.

Afternoon Dress With Stirring.
Stirring is one of the smartest
details you can choose-it's used
just this way in new and expen-
sive models-on the shoulders, to
give fullness over the bust, and at
the sides only of the skirt. Thus
your dress has animation and
grace, and yet the front and back
are plain and won't crush and
muss when you sit down. In dim
ity, wolfe, organdy, handkerchief
lawn or null, with a youthful tie
belt and frills of lace, this will be
the most fattering frock you own.

With or without the sleeveless
bolero, this dress is a perfect dar-

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS. ST..
Mileposts

In human beings life there different stages
That show growth down through the ages
For progress is made by pioneers of worth
Who not for wealth or lack of mirth.
Mileposts signs which designate the way
To go through life's journey and not stay
Too long tarry in idle pleasure,
For time thus spent brings only censure.
All signs have purpose to either describe
The direction should go and how to provide
The best of travel location and fare,
So that really knows he'll get good care
The journey may be long or it may be Short
Depending upon the time we have to cavort,
But still we shouldn't allow ourselves forget
That mileposts of love can overcome any regret
And while your LIES lnestones roll on day by day,
You may danger signal come into play,
You'll recognize it easily; do not make detours,
But travel the straight and which eliminates false lures
