I’m not a snob. I don’t put on airs. There are some creatures such as the Capybara and the Agouti and the South American Tapir who have to be introduced by the keeper. They’re not friendly and sociable. There is nothing about them of the “Hail-fellow-well-met” spirit that there is about me. No one can mistake a hippo. He’s on speaking terms with ’most everybody. Now take that Capybara gentle- man. I mean that for the moment we will think of him. No one needs to take him away of course! He has put on such fine manners with that name of his. He acts as though he belonged to the Animals’ Society Club and was allowed to write on their Club note paper which has as its crest the picture of a groom helping a Pom “AHA! THEN, MY DEAR Miss HIPPO, WITH YOUR THICK SKIN YOU MUST HAVE CORNERED THE BEAUTY-MARKET. Stour. WHAT IN THE WORLD Drawn by Lav “GOOD GR. ARE YOU EATID “['VE HAD INDIGESTION OF LATE, AND MY DocTOR TOLD ME TO KEEP ON A STAPLE DIET.” The Fashions in Birdland By Zor HARTMAN THE snowbird and the paroquet went into partnership, They opened up a clothing store For all the birds that hop or soar, And specially for stylish birds that make the winter trip; Their feathers were the smartest togs that birdies ever wore. The trouble was, the paroquet liked colors bright and gay, She thought that feathers were for show, And not to keep off wind and snow; While Mrs. Snowbird was for coats of sober hue and gray, She said they should be thick and warm—’twas far more stylish so. Miss Paroquet worked very hard and earnestly to sell To Jenny Wre:. a peacock’s tail, A cardinal’s plumage to the quail; And Mrs. Snowbird thought the tan- ager looked ve: well” In grouse’s feathers, but alas! she didn’t make the sale! At last, to end the squabble, they en- gaged the wise Miss Owl; Said she, “No custom- ers you'll lose out of an automobile. | Capybara is simply a big gray pig. It is true he comes from South America and that he’s a swimmer which the American pig is not—but Capybara can’t swim into society. No, | know. I’m one they all That’s because I have a big generous mouth, a big generous body, a big generous na- ture. I only weigh three thousand pounds now but I'm growing generously. So come and see the If only you decide to use The styles of Madame Nature, who designs for every fowl. Display her fashion plates and let the bird- ies come and choose!” And so they sent for pat- terns of the Great Designer’s syles, A coat each birdie chose in haste, With favorite colors trimmed or faced; The partners were delight- ed, though they said Hippopotamus. No airs or graces about him—just good substantial animal sense! SPOOL, PEANUT Photographed by Coss. X.
