So he placed ads in fifty newspapers, offering a salary of $5000 to a genuine homo-' ly woman to travel with the circus for forty weeks. Scores of answei b were received, but among the n was one that stood out as unique. It was from Amelia Barr of Pu laski, Ark., and she was so positive that she was the "homeliest wom an in the world" that she volun teered to pay her own expenses to join the circus, and offered to re tire from the position in any town where a homelier woman could tie produced. Amelia was engaged without de lay, and when she arrived at Bar nes Circus City, Mr. Fowler under stood why she was so positive that she was the one woman for the job. She is not facially deformed, nor Is she ugly in the real sense of the word. But she is just plain homely.
