srsnAN FAMILIARITY.

A very pretty girl had an experience
with three Of the monkeys in SohmldS's
bird store on the avenue yesterday
that has given her better insight into
monkey nature than she possessed ! e
fore.
In her left hand she WAS holding q
50-cent bunch of violets and her
poke tbook. and on her head she wore
dashing Gainsborough hat with os-
trich plumes. Two Of the monkeys
were In cage on a line with the top
Of the hat and the third was in a cage
by himself below, where she had only
to reach out her right hand to touch
him. This girl loves monkeys, and all
three Of the monkeys seemed to take
to her as naturally as though they had
known her a long time. Just as the
monkey IL the cage by himself
clutched the bunch of violets and the
pocketboo]s, the couple in the upper
story snatched the hat. 1t came off
hatpins, veil and all, and came witt
such remarkable suddenness that she
grabbed her Jacket for fear that would
go the same way.
When the monkeys surrendered this
millinery the hatpins were bent dou
bic and the inside of the cage was Sc
strewn with feathers that II looked as
though the inmates had been moalt
ing. And now the young lady declares
a monkey Is nasty beast. Washing
