ABedtime Story
WHY THE FIRST MONKEY
CLIMBED.
By JOHN BARTON

Cant you just see it," the gray
pony stopped to exclaim in the middle
of her story of the First-Off Begin
ming. "The Footless One lying up
there on his cliff with all creation
crowding below him, not saying a word
Just flashing the rock with his tenn
perry tail. And the monkey"
"A monkey" Thunderpaws chimed
in. his fur beginning to ripple, but not
with rage-like the FOotless One. The
young skunk had heard about mon
keys before. They were as funny, as
Tad Coon, and whole lot foolissher.
Either one, of them could snatch a
pawful of trouble from the wind any
time it blew by. "What was be. going
to DO with it,"
"Oh, he didn't know. Monkeys
never do. He just grabbed. Cause
Mother Nature gave him grabby
hands,, and he had to use them
if he could. o. course that tail was
way over his head. he had to swarm
up over the camel. to reach it, grab
ing into her fur with all four hands
at once. 1t was a good thing he had

four for she was a disreputable old
thing even then. Shed never licked
the patches out of her coat when she
got through shedding, so every other
handful came out. But the rest
stayed in; and the monkey Skinned
up TO the peak of her hump and
made a leap to the FOootless Ones
ripply tail. He had an idea he could
climb up it like a rope and tickle
the Footless One under the chin and
get the first stripes before any one
else got chance at him."
But he didn't" cried Thunder
paws. He could smell it coming.
(Thunderpaws always smelled things
where you'd see them).
"He did not. :" the pony was en-
phatic. 1.-The FOOtless One gave his
tail an awful swish" CShe switched
her own as she spoke). at sent the
monkey spinning and grabbing all
four ways at once for something to
stop him. He lit blam! square in the
face of the Next-to-the-B Biggest Cat,
still grabbing.
And didn't that cat let out a roar
when the monkeys dirty paw came
Slap on the end Of his tender nose!
Anu wasn't the monkey scared
most into a fit when he heard it,
even it was before the days of hunt
ing! He scrambled to the top of the
nearest bush, yelling. And there he
stayed. And if he ever did come
down again nobody saw him. So the
nearest he ever came to getting
stripes was the black that had come
off on the palms of his four hands.
But nobody was paying any at
tentiOn to him, anyway. They were
all laughing at the dirty nose of the
Next-to- the Biggest Cat. And that
made him madden yet-'cause he
didn't know what it was all about
And his wife couldn't tell him. cause
she was hiding a smoker behind her
paw. That made him maddest of all
so mad he didn't want stripes any
more, not if the rest of creation had
them. And the madden he got tbC

We Women
CINDERELLA, SHOES AND STYLE
BY BETTY BRAINERD

Cinderella sighed for the splendor of
fine feathers. All the world knows the
story of her slipper. The Seven League
Boots are celebrated in school books,
but only passing editorial attention is
given to the fact that the women of
the United States wear 100000 diff
ferent styles of shoes.
The figures are official and authen-
tic. They come from William A. Dur
gin, chief of the division of simplified
practices of the Department Of Com
mercC.
The figures are Overwhelming. ]
wonder what their significance is? Are
we so hard to. please that it is neees-
sary to keep the brains of the shoe in
dustry constantly busy designing new
styles? And just how many people
apply themselves to the taskI The ex-
penditure of mental energy in this par
ticular field must be enormous.
The shoe situation in this country
appears to be q serious problem of
some kind. The figures are evidence
of it. But what, precisely. do they
mean?
In China, once upon time, it was
as easy to fit a pair of shoes to a
woman as it is to fit n horse. As chill
dren the Chinese woman's feet were
bound in tape and otherwise restricted
in growth. This solved the shoe prob
lem there, but the practice is no
longer popular. The demand for a
great variety of style in China is not a
serious matter. The Chinese women
ar, still easy to satisfy.
1t seems to me that the situation
here requires the attention of the gov
eminent. The official statistics make
it appear that a large army of men
spend all or part of their time de-
signing shoes for us. Something ought
to be done about il. 'Itiwonld appear
that we are monopolizing the brains and
inventive genius fthe country. This
is scarcely the patriotic thing to do.
l imagine that Whittier is the ia
vorite poet of all manufacturers of
shoes.
1t was Whittier who said, BLESSINGS
on thee. little man, barefoot boy with
cheek of tam
| wonder if. that was a hint to the
women of his day. or just plain propa-
ganda disseminated by the government
