School Circus All Ready for Opening Today

Dinner,

3-Ring Performances Will Have Pupils, Pets

as Stars.

BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor

“To the left is ‘Leo,’ the wildest lion in “captivity,” shouts John Gould, Orchard School circus ringmaster, “Grr,” John prompts. “Leo” pants docilely and wags his tail. He's grateful toe his master, Carl Eveleigh, for suggesting that with a few deft snips of the clippers, nis police dog shagginess could be refashioned to a lion-like wildness.

Life Too Good

The breeze ruffles his fur and he feels that life is very good to him. “To the left is - ‘Leo,” shouts * John. “Here, Prince,” he wh ’ Beatrice Burgan he Whispers. "100k But, Prince is so - comfortable that he can’t be bothered with looking mean. And anyway, this Leo business confuses him. “Here comes Lady Alice, the queen of bareback riders,” John shouts as Alice O'Neal comes riding regally at the head of the parade on her pony. : Show Opens Today 80 John has rehearsed his role for the circus, scheduled to open its program at 3:30 today. Last night he was looking. for a high silk hat .which wouldn't slide to a laughable angle over his ears. He was fitted otherwise appropriately in a red coat and blue trousers. Orchard pupils from the four-

year-old kindergarten class to the eighth grade scanned the skies this morning for favorable weather. They ‘hoped to pitch their big tent without any prospect of rain. - Four years ago the school gave a circus. Several of the pupils remember the routine of that venture, but all their equipment for this year’s show is new.

Posters Are Made

Parents have received wood block print invitations, designed by John Holliday. Large posters have been plastered on the walls at school. Roy Miller has been practicing the fiercest scowls to prepare himself for his part as the wild man. Tom Eaglesfield, Marny Home, Ava Davis, Susanne Littell, Mary Johnson and Mary Elizabeth Fletcher have learned some secrets of balance, as they have rehearsed for their tight-rope walking act. In the six shows, arranged for the three rings, are to be girls’ and boys’ pyramid acts, kindergarten hori-

zontal ladder act, tumbling, kinder-|

garten slide, first, second and third grade rhythm work on hobby horses, rope skipping, tricycle and bicycle acts, sharpshooting, lion and juggling acts. In addition there are to be sideshows and freaks.

Bands Ready to Play

Mrs. Marie Rice assisted the pupils in making their costumes. The boys spent many hours in thé shops designing the clown paraphernalia, a trick horse and an elephant. Two bands have mastered “The Sidewalks of New York,” “The Music Goes Down and Around,” “The Old Gray Mare,” and “The Flying Trapeze.”

One band is composed of third and fourth grade pupils, playing flutes and rarimbas which they made themselves. The other musicians are older boys, who are to play saxophones, flutes and cornets.

Entertain Sorority

Mrs. Finch Dorman, Mrs. Rex Holmes. and Miss Lois Meyer are new Xi Delta Xi Sorority members. They entertained other members at a dinner party at Miss Meyer's

home in Carmel last night.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

‘VW ASHINGTON, ‘Monday.—Mrs. Edward Young of the New York State Home Bureau Federation, came to see me before breakfast this morning to ask me a few questions about the Associated Rural Women of the World meetings. She and Mrs. Bridgen, also of the New York State Home Bureau Federation, and I had breakfast together on the

south porch. . It: was very peaceful and I remarked that no matter how bad the rest of the day might be, this was a quiet thoment and I could almost forget that I had spent the night on the train. With a twinkle Mrs, Bridgen said: “I see you like contrasts.” « At 10 the: President came in from his trip on the river looking very well and much rested. At 10:30, having caught up with a few housekeeping details, I had a press conference. A brief one, as the girls were das anxious to get away as I was, for Washington is over-run by farm women and people interested in rural life. Delegates from 40 foreign countries are here, Canada having sent a large delegation as well as England. Our own United States is represented by 6000 odd from every part of the country. I must say that I felt a sense of pride when I went into Constitution Hall, which is so rarely filled, and found it packed in the orchestra up to the roof at noon today. I remember the skeptics, mostly gentlemen to be sure, telling me that we would have only a handful of women. But as the Secretary of Agriculture said, “Farm women are on the move.” The farm woman knows when she thinks something is worth while doing, and evidently a large number have decided that this is worth doing. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 and at 3:30 I was down on the ‘lawn greeting the foreign delegates and the heads of state organizations, Then I went up on the south porch where some of the ambassadors and Cabinet were gathered, and where the President. spoke to the assembled women. Afterward I went back and shook hands with as many as I could reach in a walk around the lawn. I hope to see them often in the course of the next few days at their meetings. It certainly was a pleasure to have them here, and

to get a chance to say even a word to so many of them this afternoon, (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) .
