ONE OF THE MISSING.


And here, too, in this gay bridal party of
bridemaids and groomsmen that attended
Miss Thelta Quay and Mr.. Franks to the
altar last season, is face that will be seen
no more ON this earth, that of Mr.. Robert
Wilson, the promising young attorney, who
succumbed to the dread typhoid but re-
Gently. How happy and smiling he is
here, surrounded by the merry group of
young people, with whom he was such
favorite.
And this is the picture of young East
End bride, whom, Dame Rumor says, repri-
manded her groom in the ante-room of the
aristocraJic church in which the vows were
taken, when he became slightly "rattled,"
by SAYING, You're not half man if you
let anything like this disturb your equa-
nimity." As if anything like this" (get-
ting married) was of small moment to the
young lady, who was not long out of her
teens. But Dame Rumor adds that the
short, crisp remark had its effect. and the
Youthful groom braced up so that, in walk
ing up to the altar, not a'trace of nervous
ness was visible in him. Perhaps she's just
the wife he needed; anyway, she's wonder
fully bewitching, not only in her gorgeous
wedding gowns, but in any attire in which
she appears.
This equally pretty young woman in the
equally pretty bridal attire was first her
father-in-law's cholce-at least the same
gossipy old dame is authority for the state
ment tnat the tather-in-law offered his son
S1OO. 900, clear cash, if he would court and
win the East End belle. He won both the
bride and the money, if there was any truth
in the rumor, and it is not a rumor, but a
fact, that he is wonderfully attentive and
devoted to his bride.
This head and bust is that of another East
End favorite, who married Mr.. So-and-So,
and here she is again, just as charming as
ever, with the diamond edition of Mr.. So
and-So in her arms-sweet face, sweet baby
and sweet picture.
AN OBJECT OF INTEREST,".
"Who is this sad, pensive, beautiful girl,
in the very much decollete bodice?" is
asked the young lady in attendance at the
gallery.
"Really, I don't know her name, but il
was associated with that of bright young
newspaper man who committed suicide in
Chicago last year because-he had so many
wives"
Fascinating face, hasn't she?"
"Yes. Nine out of ten who come in here
| ask me who she is, and all admire hel
| greatly-such sad expression"
"How is business, this time of year?' wal
the next question.
Every quiet, excepting for the orders thai
come in from the seashore and summer re-
Sorts"
"From the seashore and summer resorts?'
was the next interrogation.
| eyes. Our patrons are all away at th,
different resorts, but in such places NOR,
than anywhere else must pictures be ex
changed, and so they send to us for then
to be printed from negatives taken SOM
time in the past"
"You reserve all negatives, then?',
"Yes, indeed. The negatives are ou
stock-in-trade, from which we neither Dor
row nor lend. On the first installment o
pictures printed when the negative is mad
the profit is not nearly so large as ii is ol
after orders, for it costs considerable to max
the negative. Once made, however, it is
source of revenue to the photographer oftel
as long as the original lives, and very fire
quently after he dies, as in the case of prom
inent public men. For instance, the com
pany for which the late Captain Jone
worked ordered nine large crayon portrait
of. him and any number OF cabinet.

for pictures of the late William Thaw
Fond parents who lose their little one
