grounds since the exposition was open
ed. Chiquita takes great delight in
frequent visits to Hagenback's, and en-
joys flirting with Jolly" the big

Chiquita is no freak. but a dainty,
well dressed and accomplished lady OF
charming, refined manners. She is %
years of age. and only 26 inches In

Visitors to the exposition are De-
lighted with her, and her prettily ar
ranged reception parlors are crowded
daily with the ladies and children OF
the best families from all parts of the
Union. At no other exposition was SO
small and dainty. yet so beautiful, per-
feet. finely developed, the smallest
most charming little creature in the
