life—family wash strung out be-
tween wagons, mending of costumes
and entailment, feeding and groom-
ing of work stock, Be friendly, don't
annoy the circus folk, and they will
treat you courteously -
Pictures of performers and ani -
nulls should be obtained daring the
circus parade; as you may not be
allowed to take your camera inside
the big tent. The light inside is
usually too poor for good snapshots
except with ultra speed lenses and:
film. But there is ample opportunity
outside to keep the camera busy, and
you can come away with enough
good shots to fill several pages in
an album. Try it lust once, and you'll
never be without your camera when,
the dreii% comes to town.
