"The Circus from Inside," was a revelation to most
of us. Family life is not eliminated from the circus
troupe. Whole families are on the road, and the daily
life behind the scense is one of order and decorum.
Even a school for the children is well conducted.

Mary Gilpin had selected a little article entitled "The
Whistler", and if we would all take to heart its lesson
of cheerful endurance and sunshiny temper we could
add much to the happiness of the world.

Ellen Farquhar told of present conditions
in Bermuda where it has been said, "The people
are more English than in England," and where
they keep in such close touch with the mother
country that the distance between is continually
bridged by loving thoughts and sympathy as
is shown by the work being done.

An animated discussion arose at this
point as to what would better be done with a dog
which had recently been with another, afterward
killed because supposed to be mad. The dog
in question appeared to be perfectly well, so it
was decided to keep him chained and await
developments (O.K.)

Albina O. Stabler had two short articles -
"Thinkograms" and "You", each one distinct and
perfect in itself, but both are calls to self-analysis.

Estelle T. Moore had a good conundrum and
Fanny Snowden told us a little more of her
daughter Elsie's recent experiences, and we were
glad to learn that she met with kindness
and consideration while on land, but the voyage
home can only be described in the language
of the day and called "simply fierce."
