of supplying the demand for pictures from
every person they meet in their travels. and it
is quite the fashion for every one they meet to
ask for one. Every acquaintance tuey make is
APT to get one, and it seems to be q craze to see
who can distrib lte and collect the greatest
number OF uludsome photographs. Pictures
for rich FOLKS are all filled In in water cOors at
