He left a sweetheart behind in Lyzon and then went to war with the 806th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Division. When he came back from the war he rned that his sweetheart was mar- ried to a stay-at-home rival. But he declares that there may be as sood fish still in the sea as ever have n caught and one day soon he is soing back to the Philippines to look nother, “Ask him how many sweethearts s in New York," said Martha . the armless girl who sits on the platform next to the head hunter. \mok didn't blush, but had a sweet mile for the pretty girl who writes and sews with her toes, and says ‘hat she has no time for beaux, be- cause in the winter timo she fs‘finish- ing her education in Chicago.

She is Mra, Charles Gibbons and halls from Los Angcles, Cal., where her husband Ives and conducts a tatoo parlor. It was her husband who transformed her body into an art gallery, When sho isn't with the circus she is a sort of model for the tattoo studio. Other women have been tattooed a little bit, but none of them have gone further than to have a design etched upon them where !t will not interfere with eve- ning gowns. Taurello, the man with the revoly- ing head, managed once to make his head and eyes behave long enough to keep his eyes focused upon the one particular girl who came into his life for keeps. Laurello is married and the father of a couple of children And then there are Mr. and Mrs Doll, Harry is twenty-two yeurs old and 28 inches in height, while Grace is twenty-four and two inches taller than her spouse. They are a cute couple, but lately Grace has become a bit jealous of tho attentions of Harry to the Princess Wee Wee, and now Clyde Ingalls has George Augur, the 8%-foot giant, sitting between the two rivals on the platform Grace says that she doesn't care, because Harry can't marry the Prin- cess on account of the matrimonial strings she has on him; and then, anyhow, ant George Augur, who could put her into one of his pockets, she says is a real man. “Now, don't you get into any quarrel over me," the giant told her, “f don't Ike your jealousies.” haven't forgotten last season in Ch engo when you hit me with a chair “Now, you hush,’’ said Grace, and she climbed up on his yest, and with # foot In each pocket, patted his cheek With obe uf her tiny hands But the romaneist of all romance: in the group of strange people Chiet Pantagal, the erstwhile cannibai vt the Island of Voa in the New Hebrides.
