GLADYS AND HER BABY.—A common baboon with her latest baby photographed from the veranda of Tree Tops, the famous hotel in Aberdares National Park. Kenya, which is built on stilts near a water-hole. Tea is served at the hotel on the roof veranda, and the baboons used to be quite a nuisance, flocking in vast numbers for titbits. The game wardens who guide people through the reserve decided to keep the baboons (and vervet monkeys) away, but Gladys was allowed to continue to make her visits. How Gladys got her name is not known, but she is a regular visitor to Tree Tops.
