JOHNS, OREGON I SELLS-FLOTO-BUFFALO BILL SHOWS To Exhibil in Portland The circus Is coming; coming with Its wagons of gilt and glit ter, with its Btrnngo animals, with its beautiful women on horseback and everything else that goes to make up a wonder ful, happy day beneath the great spreading tents. For on May 24 25, there will arrive in Port land the Sells-Flotn Circus and Buffalo Bill's Original Wild West for two day's exhibition, after noon and night. Many features are with the circus this year, principal among which are Col. William Frederick Cody (Buffalo Bill) withis en tire retinue of Indians, riders, ropers, cowboys, cowgirls, rang ers, soldiers and vanqueros; and Rosa Rosalind, the Maid of Mys tery. Never in the history of America has there been an equestrienne like Rosa Rosalind. One after another she turns air sets, "fiipflops" and somersaults upon the back of a plunging horse until it is almost impossible for the eye to follow her. Then, too, there are many other features to be seen with the big show this year, Captain Recardo and his lions, LuciaZora and her three herds of perform ing elephants. Devlin's Zouaves, the forty clowns, Rodah Royal snd his horses, and hundreds of actorbats, areialists contortion ists and tumblers. The price of the circus this year? The same as ever, a gen eral admission of 25 cents, in cluding seat. Two performances will be given, one at 2:15 in the afternoon and another at atned night Doors will be ope an5 8 ; hour earlier.

I nJ A Fixture Hint Three years ago I tried to help my sister select a hat Wo went to half the stores in Portland, Sho tried on at least 100 before finding one that suited. I didn't appreciate that method at ail too much traveling, bother and hit or miss principle. That evening 1 started thinking it over. Said to myself, wero I a woman and wanted a hat I would go to a good milliner, tell her what I wanted to pay, wear the dress I wanted to wear with the hat, and have her design mo one a creation to fit me, and me alone, my beauty, my manner isms, my individuality: in short, just me. That carried another chain of thought. If hats, why not electric fixtures? Furnishings in the home are very important Harmonious colors, good selection of furni ture and a nice blending of lines mean a great deal, and a cheer ful home means a cheerful life. But after having a room proper ly furnished you can very easily ruin the harmony of the whole by a poor selection of fixtures. Now for the last three years I have been studying everything that would have a relation to fixture design, architecture pe riods of furniture, color match ing, principle of design, shape, rhythm, sketching, and all things that help me design and make the proper fixtures for your home. I am not done, never ex pect to be, but think I am fairly proficient and ready to try. Today I want you to call me to that home of yours and let me sketch you a suggestion. It wont obligate you, and it might help. Fixture prices are mighty low now, and if you do buy you will get $1.25 value for every dollar you spend. Yours for service, L. E. GENSMAN. E. A.
