goes into amateur photography with whole

OF Thurlow Weed, aud having plenty OF
money she does not stint herself in the
number or the costly appliances of her
cameras. If she wants 10 find odt if she

OF admiration and despairing envy from its
visitors. Miss Barnes has paved the way
Tor the admission of her sex totphoto-
