10-B TIIK OMAHA SUNDAY VVA): AUGUST 9, 1014. Home Life Runs Smoothly Under the Big Tents Ths buay old wnrld In the hard and fast raca for niccrsa In flnane and commaroa wilt always ptuM when lha band bln to plajr. o will It al alarkrn Ita pare at tns tlma cf yaar whan that malady con tracted In childhood btfamM acute In nanhnnd and whlrh I alT and tin- iawait AtmrnmA u "red aanl fever." For all the world loves a Hriiia, and la ever Interested In the people of the ranvae-oanopled arena. There la an Irrr-alatlbls charm In the aawdtiet and epana-lee, and a hard-to-conquer, llnarrlna; faaolnatlon In the old, learn and glitter of the bi tented enter prlee. And yet the world doea not know half aa much about the rlreue aa II think" It doee. Bark of the curtain and the ilamour, and the hoop-la of the rlnita, there la another world a world all to Itaelf. filled with humanity, but, by the very nature of their ralltnc, made a world apart. Nearly every performer, or at leaat M per cent of them, are horn Into the world preceded by generation after generation of anceetora who have been with the clr cua alnce It became manklnd'a nevei-tlrlng amueement. The athletic eeeentlala, and the perfection of phyelcal training made thla a fact, and every atar of the arena, every bareback rider, every daring aerial performer and nearly every clown learned the mdlmente of the work when they were children, and when their muaclea were receptive to training by the aupple neea of youth. That foundation and long practice haa made them perfect. In the hoat of people who live under the. ranvaa of the lilnsltng Hrothera circtia. j which la to upcii.l today and Monday In i Omaha, there are i performers who hall I from every part of the unlveree. In all, there are nineteen language, or dlalecte, apoken among the 1,350 people who travel In the four long trnlna of thla, the larg est enow ever organized, language li not necearary to the clrcua performer, for his work appeala altogether to thei eye, which la Ita eole ' Interpreter. He-j rauee of thla. the daring and ak'll of all' natlnna hlftnd Itariiinnluuiil v In the arena I of the "white tope." And Jut aa harmonloiialy dnre the aama quntity enter Into the dnlly life vf thea performers after the ahow work la over for the ilny und the crowds have gone home. However, an anomaly It may eeem, clrcua people, the greateat wanderera of all entrrtalnera, love domeatlctty. One haa but to take a peep at the tidy ar rangement e of the dreselng tenta or catch a glimpse of tho atutTooma on the Hlng llng sleeping rare, to realize thla fact. And, more than that, clrcua people have sure enough homes, own them, and main tain the moat wholesome of home Ufa during that erlod when the big ahow hldea away for the winter. They work hard, train with avidity, reet easy, enjoy their life, aro thrifty, aave their money and their physical be'nga, and are never aeen at play In the haunta of the great white lights of ths cosmopolitan thor oughfare, or the garlah glare of the lob ster palace. As on of tha women bare back riders expresses It: ."I know nothing of the requlrementa for the care of a singer or an actreaa' aceompllal.ineaita, but -1 do know that a woman who must alwaya ba at tha height j of phyalcal perfection, strength and agtl Jty, and also possess youth, beauty and Trace, cannot mix with lata auppera und all tha aUegwd Joys . of tha after-play parties. It la eternal practice with us." Tha women of the circus are wonderful psctmehs of womanhood. They have de veloped tha phyalcal being to Its highest state and achieved feats of great daring and marvelous skill. Yet they are Just a feminine as-their eleters of the every day world, whose applause Is won by thulr ring and arenio accomplishments. Tha llttla woman, who, with a thrilling shriek makes tha perilous leap from a sixty-foot trapes, and Is caught by her ankle. Is an expert at needlework. An other, who rides and leaps over gay ban ners, and ts at perfect easa while per forming a to danoa from tha back of a galloping horse, may- be found on the greensward of tha "lot" between per formance teaching her little boy the mys teries of "twice one Is two" and "e-a-t mv-tf-j, mX- ' Xyi - r X - iJ&W.

Another la an adept at decorating fine china. Ptllt another woman whoae hus band, a clown, owns real estate and busi ness In Long Inland, writes his letters on a typewriter perched on the top of a costume trunk, while lie, often dressed in the garb of the ring, dictates his cor respondence. Nearly all have cameras and make pictures of the polnta of in terest In each town they, vlelt. ' This la particularly true or the hundreds, of bal let 'girls who dance In the spectacle or '.'Solomon and the Queen of Hlicba." Their afternoon work la finished by 3 In tha afternoon, and It la no unuauul thing to see an entire atreet car filled with these young women armed with kodaks, and liunt-upon ' seeing the sights of tha city" from the middle of tha afternoon until dinner time calls them back to tha j circus grounds. j And, . if you please, the darning of : father's socks, or the patching of Willie's j psnts Is Just as frequent In tha "dresalng I top" aa It la In any home. Take a peak j Into these surroundings and you will find out why the women of tha clrcua are respected, why the men are so gallant; j for you will look upon a scene where the fsmlly ties are scarcely ever broken, where family scandals seldom stalks and where Jealousy and gossip are unknown. No story of the women of the Ring ling Brothers' clrcua would be complete without a mention of that one known to them all as "the little mother of the clrcua." She la Mrs. George Hartsell, i and both her husband and her aon are clowns. She has charge of the costumes ; and all the sewing rooms and tailora and ! cleaners that keep them In condition, and there are over 6,200 rostumea In Rlngllng- vllle. Always motherly, alwaya tender, aha Is the first to rejoice with one of her girls over a new triumph, and the first to sympathise with them when a shadow comes. Movie Manager is Accused by Rival !
