I'd try to be one." Because Miss Whitney's marmoset has the well known lamb bleating for mercy when it comes to following her around. What is more, it is even allowed to kiss her as many times a day as it wants, which is not our idea of harsh treatment. The only thing against the marmoset is that her name is Ermyntrude, and that it is a sort of monkey. It is said of the marmoset that it never grows after it attains a certain length which is usually about one foot, divided 50-50, body and tail. This is considered very remarkable by some naturalists while others look upon it as very natural. Miss Whitney was presented with the pet while in Jamaica. But she could give no more information about the quasi-monkey then her press agent could find in the encyclopaedia.
