CHAPTER IV.
Peggy and Elephant
(l(r, Billy Belgium, Balky Sam, John
ny Bull and Billy Oot volunteer to tak th
plac of an- act In a circus, to Jtrry th
Clown, with hta daughter, Counteaa Altca,
can aay foodby to his departing aoldisr ion.)
PEGGY found the costume of
Countess Alice iust fit her. But
it made her look so different
that she scarcely recognized herself
when she peeked .into a tiny mirror
she found in the trunk.
She was all tinsel and gilt, while
little wings sprouted from tier shoul
ders. A thrill of exultation ran
through her she was to make her
first appearance in a circus arena.
But now a disturbing thought
popped into Peggy's mind one that
should have popped there long be
fore. What was she going to do
when she got into the arena? She
hadn't the slightest idea of what
Countess Alice did.
"You look very sweet 1" commented
Nanny Goat "You're sure tfi make
a hit ;
"But what am I to do? asked
Peggy.'
"First ride in the opening pageant
as a fairy princess."
"I know how to do that," answered
Peggy much relieved. "I am Prin
cess of Birdland."
"Then in Jerry's clown act you ap
pear as Titania, queen of the fairies."
"Oh, like in Shakespeare's 'Midsum
mer Night's Dream' cried Teggy,
growing enthusiastic.
"It's Jerry's 'Midsummer Night's
Dream' not Shakespeare's," answered
Nanny. "If Shakespeare is calling it
his he is trying to steal our act."
Peggy didn't have time to argue
that it was Shakespeare's first, for
time was precious.
What do 1 do as lttan.ar she
asked.
"You change the clown into a mule,
and then you put the mule through
his tricks with a goat and the dog.
We do some funny tricks, but there
hasn't been any fun in it of late
Jerry has been so cranky since his
son went into the army that he's got
us all dull and cross.
"Maybe that's what the matter with
your act," commented Peggy.
"Your best part is at the finish,"
went on Nanny. "Then you dance

on the mule's back as he gallops
around the ring.
"Gracious, 111 fall off," cried
Peggy.
But she didn't have time to worry
over this prospect, for just then a
bugle sounded and Nanny bleated a
warning.
"That's the call for the pageant.
You musn't be a second late."
Out. ran Peggy, joining a crowd of
circus girls and women who were
streaming into the assembly tent
There she found a confused looking
mass of men, women and children of
all sorts of colors and nationalities.
Arabs, Bedouins, Hindus, Chinese,
Japanese, Siamese, Indians, Ethio
pians, Syrians, and all sorts of
strange peoples. Mixed up among
them were scores of horses, ponies,
camels, zebras and elephants.
' Poor Peggy didn't know where her
place was in this mob, and Nanny
was not there to tell her. Hoping
that someone would direct her,
Peggy ran along. But no one paid
any attention to her.
Dismayed and half frightened, she
finally stood still. A trumpet blew,
followed by a blare of music as the
circus band placed itself at the head
of the grand opening pageant. The
whole mass of men and animals got
into action, quickly unwinding itself
into a Rlitterinsr parade that streamed
out into the arena.
Peggy pressed back to get out of
the wav of the horses. She felt that
she was going to be left behind.
Then it would be discovered that she
wasn't Countess Alice and she would
be driven out of the circus in dis
grace. Perhaps, even, she would be
arrested.
She looked around anxiously for
Billy Belgium and Balky Sam. If
she could find them, she was sure
they would help her. Her eyes
chanced upon them just as Billy Bel
gium, dressed as a clown, and seated
in a funny cart, was driving Balky
Sam, Johnny Bull and Billy Goat 6ut
into the, big tent. Peggy started on
a run to catch up with them.
But suddenly she was stopped. A
a
u
long snaky something was around
her waist, holding her fast She gave
a little shriek. Then the snaky some
thing lifted her high in the air and
she looked down to find herself amid
a herd of elephants. She realized in
an instant that the snaky something
was an elephant's trunk. It turned
her around so that she was looking
right into an elephant's twinkling
eyes. She didn't know whether they
were twinkling in fun or in mischief.
She had heard all sorts of stories
about elephants. Some were good
and some were bad. What was this
one?
The elephant gave her the answer.
Trumpeting softly, he closed pne eye
at her with a wink that was strangely
remindful of Judge Owl's. Then he
tossed her up over his head and right
into a pretty golden throne, fastened
to his back. It was the very place
where, she belonged. The elephant
had recognized Countess Alice's cos
tume and had come to the rescue at
just the right moment
As Peggy settled herself on the
throne, hanging on tight to keep from
being thrown off by the queer rock
ing motion of the elephant, they
moved out into the main, tent, and
Peggy found herself being stared at
by thousands and thousands of ex
cited eyes. ,

become common. Then, too, there is
the month of extra service that the
new suit gives to the wearer.
Today the fashions for the sea
son are complete and the hand
somest models are here for
your selection many of them
will not be duplicated later;
and perhaps the one that best
expresses your Individuality
the one most becoming to you
may not be obtainable later
on.
The new suits are most distinctive of the sea
sonsimple in effect, yet radically different in
lines skirts are shorter and narrower as a rule,
by reason of the war conservation of wool ; jack- v
ets are short, yet many clever tailoring touches .
seem to give them perceptible length. Certain
