should like TO ask Mr. Egnew if he is going to
set up photograph gallery. If SO, why does he
not tell the girls. that they would know what he
going to do with their pictures. The girls do
not want their pictures put out in some lonesome
| cornteld or in some vacant house to be torn TO
| pieces by the rats or carried of by an owl. You
need not think that you get so many pictures
have better sense than to believe 1T II you were to
say So for the name OF the photographer would be
on the e. back OF each card Mr. shawler Egnew-
