Such Is Fame.

Francis Wilson, the comedian, says that
fame is a fugitive and altogether an unsatis.
factory thing after all He was in Paris with
Alfred Candy, his manager, and one after
noon they strolled along the Avenue de
rOpera looking at the shop windows. In an
art store they discovered large collection
of photographs of celebrities from all over
the world. This claimed their attention for
some time. At lengt n Wilson started in sur
prise and directed Canby's attention to the
photograph of a young girl. Don't you
recognize that facet" he asked. "Why, that's
a New York photo of my daughter Frances.
And so it was Wilson had always been
sure that his daughter was beautiful child,
but he did not think that she was so striking
ly handsome that her photographs would find
purchasers in Paris. Candy suggested that
they interview the shop keeper and see if he
knew who the original was. So they entered
the shop and put the question to the French
man. The shop keeper knew, of course.
