You have been taught In your
youth, you have hoard repeatedly,
you hare read the advice of older
heads that have traveled the stol
pnih* of life, you have learned your
self, and you know now. that
cheerful, smiling countenance,
apparent light heart In the face of1
sorrow and disappointment, no mat-|
ter how difficult It may be, will over
cotae a multitude of upseta, worries
and troubles. You h*ye learned, or
should have learned ere nothat
smiles and laughter/no matter how
hard It may be to bring them to the
fore In the face of distress, will
surmount the most heart-breaking
obstacles. In other words. If you
put up a brave, checrful front, never
letting the world know that you aro
down, you have accomplished half in
retrieving your lost ground and
have put a decided "crimp" In dark,
dismal failure. Why not apply this
lesson to your habits of dress, which
Is just as much s part of your ap
pearance as the character displayed
In your face? It Is fifty per cent
of what you seem to others. And
"smiling" apparel is fifty per cent
easier to accomplish In the face of
difficulties than a smiling counten
anco.
"Grin and bear It" is a maxim
that's a thousand years youug. and
has discomfited many a triumphing
enemy. Put a bit of "grin" In the
clothes upon your back,' brother.
Don a "cheerful, pleasant" coat, and
see how much easier you will And
the paths to suc&ss. Be Just as
"happy "In your attire as you are .in
heast and soul, snd see how much
happier you will rsally be.
You have read^for the past few
days how the merchants of Wash-|
lngton are conducting a campaign
for "hotter dress." It ts but the
sn^U ramification of a nation-wide
movement of American merchants,
aided by the efforts of all worthy
cltlsens. to put the "smile" Into the
dally garments of real, live Ameri
cans. They have realised the bene
fits to be derived from putting up
your best appearance at all . times,
not sorely because of the benefits
to themselves, but because they have
made a study of the business, and
by aiding you they know that th^y
naturally aid themselves. We *11
prosper together.
That Is the reason of DRE38 UP
WEEK which began Monday and
will continue until Saturdsy. You
must supply the sparkle In your eyo,
the smile upon your lips, snd the
sunshine In your heart. \ Th*y will
show you how to put the warmth,
the sunlight, the welcome* in your
garments.
Dress up your apparel and your
disposition, and succeed with the
merchants of Washington.

Half a hundred clowns from mirth
land's fertile field have been assem
bled this season by the management
of the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Cirl
cus, which comes to Washington o?f
Friday for performancea at 2 and 9
p. m., and a three-mile long street
parade at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing.
One of the most Interesting of
these clowns is Arthur Borella,
known the world over as the "Here's
Me" clown. This is Borella's trade
mark, and for twenty years it has
been his slogan and by-word. When
ever he appears on the hippodrome
track he shouts these words. Little
tots know him, for he has inveigls4
cheer and happiness into the hearts
Of millions of them.

corner one would pick for a banker

b aring in his manners which stand?
in vivid contrast to the foolishly
funny fellow who c&vorts about In
the big arena tent, working the flap
sticks and making fire crackers do
their full duty.
Mr. Borella Is the originator of
many clown novelties. He Is the
first person 'to oi^ccesj'uly intro
duce baseball pantomime, and It
was ho who conceived ths idea of
having a goose follow htm about the
track on a supposed trip ?0 the
frontier as a soldier. This season
Borella has a burlesque which he
calls "Chicken,1w and it promises to
bresk all records as a laugh-dispen
ser and a grouch-chaser.

clown In the World. HIS salary 14
