A very swell young man who wa!
known a few years ago as the hardest
drinker in the Kniokerbocker club, but
who has since been outclassed by several
new contestants for the flowing bow
prize, arrived home from trip around
the world not very long ago, and among
his curlosities collected along the route
was bright little spider monkey, whose
expressive countenance bore the mark OF
dissipation, and who was very fond OF
his master. The eleverness of this mon
key soon became known among the
friends of the returned wandersr, and
one young lady, whose sweet wishes were
more effective than the commands of a
major general, raved oveI the little imp
to such an extent that its owner begged
her TO accept it as gift.
The young lady was delighted
with her new requirement, and
despite the protestations of her parents,
and the surly rebellion of the servants
about the house, the monkey was in
stalled in the fair one's boudoir, and al
lowed full range of the place. While
the young lady made her toilet for din
her that evening the monkey was an in
terested spectator from the top of q
wardrobe, and seemed delighted and
absorbed by the charming mysteries of
feminine aggregation. When his new
mistress went down to welcome her
guests the monkey was so very quiet that
the young lady thought she would not tie
him to his little stake in the corner as she
had intended doing upon going out.
The dinner had progressed as far as the
game when scamper of tiny footsteps
was heard on the stairs, and the next inf
slant a sight met the eyes of the guests
that caused a shout of surprise followed
by roars of laughter. The monkey had
jumped on to a chair and was sitting
quietly blinking at the strange company.
In one paw he held q small round boz
containing pink powder, while i the
other was one Of those unfamilMr i'm
plements, occasionally utilized by the
gentle sex, called hGre's fook. The
monkey had applied the pink powder to
his face with an effect that was CHASTITY
in its righteousness. -,
The young lady was as red as psony;1
and her eyes indicated anger in its fer
cest form. She ordered a servant to
drive the monkey out of the room, and
then it was observed that the little hum
orist had tied about his neck the most
precious, if not the most romantic gar
ment that his mistress had recently dis
4,
gaily behind him as he seampered out of
the room with the servant in hot pursuit.
The monkey went back on the following
morning to its first owner, who is now
trying to find q place for it on some
western rancho. The young lady de-
clares that he had evidently invaded the
apartment of her maid, thus oleyerly
accounting for the rouge and the other
item that the little wretch had made
such bold exhibition of.
