the temporary occupant of the vel

the ankles are well protected and kept
perfectly warm their owner is not

"Stock breeders say that cold can be
borne by animals only at an expense
of fat or muscle or vitality, and so it
is with women" said a fashionable
bootmaker recently. and yet they
persist in wearing thin stockings and
thin. low quartercd shoes long after
the summer has passed. But they are
improving in this respect as well as in

a sole, as we did in summer. Not so
now. When a woman comes in and
buys n pair of low shoes at this seas

she is one of two things, vain or silly"

LEARNING TO SPEAK
EXPERIMENTS IN TRYING TO EDCU-
CATE A MONKEY.
Sambo Can Already Do Many Things
His Trainer Has Taught Him But
He Has Not Yet Learned to Talk
An Interesting Orang Outang.

As an appropriate climax to series
of experiments in educating a monkey
Mr.. J. l.. Buck, now in Boston, will try
to make the monkey talk. The animal
Is one of the greatest curiositles i'll the
simian line ever seen. The point to
which his education has been carried
is wonderful. He rejoices in the name
of Sambo and is a Bornean of the
orang-outang species.
Sambo eats at the table with as much
complacency as Il Christion, and be-
hayes better at his meals than some
Christians. In describing his method
of teaching Sambo how he must use
spoon Mr.. Buck explained that he
placed the food in Il very deep cup;
Sambos natural intelligence at once
showed him the use of a spoon; but he
at first made the mistake of bringing
+ the provendcr from the depth OF the
cup by means of the spoon and then
laying down on the table to be grabbed
with his fingers.
Mr.. Buck cured Sambo of this habit
by placing Il hungry monkey at the
table beside him. When Sambo would
lay it down the hungry one would
snatch it away. After while Sambo
saw the point and friiod the Thief Ivy
carrying tie f cd d",'t Y from the cup
to his mouth hv means of the spoon.
The accomplishment acquired there
was no more troib'.'.

hn T., Iox-
ity was how to get Samho to wear a
antirathy to any KIND Of hea lcnar. The
trainer was almost on tie ro'nt or Civ
ing up, when one day he noticed that
flies were annoying the monkey very
much. When they were particularly
persistent around his head Samho
would pull up his coat to protect his
poll. Inspiration came to Mr.. Buck
Dauhing little molasScs on Sambo's
head he left him for time to he tor
mented by the flies. md then placed a
: cap over his head to show him the use
of covering. Sambo realized the util-
ity of a cap at once end has worn it
without protest ever since.
BY these methods. and without the
use of the whip that is considered so
, Indispensable by most trainers of ami
: mails. Sambo's education was carried
on.

table and sitting up like a regular

ROUND-SHOULDERED GIRLS
Some Good Advice Toward Making Them
ShapeIy and Healthy.

Shapely and Healthy.
Health and beauty depend upon the
symmetry of the body.
A round-shouldered girl is n girl out
OF drawing, nsymmetrically out of
harmony so far as her looks go. She
is in the same relative condition physi-
cally.
The idea of health is that happy con-
ditlon of unconsciousness of the body
which is only possible when every part
of it is perfectly developed.
No rounds houldered girl can be
healthy, for the secret of health is in
the proper and harmonious develop
ment of the entire organism.
GIFTS with round shoulders never
even once breathe properly, and cor
rect breathing is as essential to per-
feet health and beauty as sunlight is
to flowers. Many girls with STOPPING
