The base slandcrcrs who have strenu.

computations of the universe are at last

of things, but his type among his next OF
kin-thc affected monkey has come to
share his rcuown. In a Broadway show
window there stand rcprescntati> es of both
classes. Crowds view them daily.
The dude wears carmine dress

lacquercd topboos and "A high hat.
In his right hand he holds a cigarette
slowly and without dignity he raises the
b.rning cigarette TO his opening mouth,
takes a few dainty pulls, and again lowers
the arm. AS h curs the last of the
smoke out upon the air, his left hand
with the single glass is raised to the eve.
aud the head turns upon its seven. jOinlcd
axis through an arc OF 10 degrees. He Is
looking at the curious throng in the street
as they s,are at him in mute astonish

The poor, misguided chmpanlee smokes

has difficulty in getting the smoke out OF
his broad mouth. Yet he is equal to the
human dude AMI if he is wanting in the

handles his glasses atoncs for his other
shortcomings. His gaze at the multitude
is less elegant but it seems hundred
times more critical.
There they stand, forever doing the

irritated. They arc clever automata.
