ing a single woman without family to
affiIct, should go unpublished and I'M
ducked- but despised by all, and wag
her tongue as she will, standing there

ing them to pronounce one word, al
lowing them two days to master 1t. and
gradually increasing their vocabulary
to three or four words. 1 then make
sentences of words that are easily join
ed together 1t takes male bird ut
most two weeks to master half dozen
short sentences in one language. The
females are not so quick at graspins
a word or sentence US the males are.
and so they require day or two more
OF tuition.

secret is to demonstrate the meaning OF
the word or sentence. If possible, SO
that it will seem to speak intelligently.
