They come in late in the afternoon, al
talking at once.

door scene, you know"
The photographer quickly wheels up q
mountain view for background, waltzes
a wooden looking s'rockr into the fore
ground, props up rustic fence at one
suggesting mat before It, While he is
composing this medley from the mex
haustibls beauties Of nature the girls
discourse on the subject at hand.
Belle, You sit on the rock and / will
stand beside You; Grace can lean on the
fence, and, May, You sit on the floor.
We ought to have book to be looking
at. All, here's an album; that will do.
Dora, which side Of my face would be
the best TO have takenr'
"The outside" said Dora promptly.
Il wish we had parasol, /" says Grace.
"Be quick rs you can, " interrupts the
photographer, realizing how precious IL
every moment Of the fast fading light.
Dora bestows upon him look which
plainly says, with intent TO annihilate":
1--WE pay you by the job, not by the
hour. Do not presume to hurry u.s."
At last they locate themselves accord
ing to tho dictates of their own sweet
and hayward fancies.
"Ah, N.Y." exclaims Belle from the
rock, "what an awfully uncomfortable
thing this is to sit on"

Grace
Finally all seems In readiness, when
just as the photographer is about to re-
move the cap TO expose the plate May
suddenly exclaims from the floor:
Hold on minute. Grace, you ought
not to DO standing; you are too tall.
Change places with me-"
Then ensues a general scrambling and
rearranging, Belle improving the oppor-
tunity to try for softer spot on the
rock.

May anxiously inquiries Of tho photog-
rapher, as II the sun would fail to do its
desired work If her head was not turned
at just the most becoming angle.
'sYes," replies the much harassed per-
sonage addressed, heroically choking
back unholy utterances "Sit perfectly
still now"
He removes the cap and brief and
blessed silence ensues. When he re-
places the cap for a moment the chorus
breaks outs
''0h, my goodness dear mel never
why, was just
"Keep just as you are" says the pho
tographer authoritatively, unexpectedly
removing the cap again and thus effect
lively shutting Off the deluge Of remarks
The poor light necessarily made the
exposure unusually long, and when at
last 1t is over n volley Of deep and re-
vengeful groans comes from the girls rs
the photographer disappears with his
plate.
Then their tongues are loosened
"My feel all tied up in bow knot"
Goodness. but I'm tired standing 90
long"
II never knew any one to be so long
taking tintype."
"Oh, feel ms II had just had tooth
pulled--so thankful tits over"
"Oh, see this picture Of some girls In a
boat. Why didn't he say he had boatY'
II don't think he Is very agreeable
anyway All he thinks of is to get it
over with"
"Oh, here he comes with the pictures"
Now they gather around the man with
the pictures, all talking excitedly.
"Oh, oh, just look at me-"
"Just see the way my eyes look"
"My head is held too high, and asked

at last they relinquish the artistic treas.
ures long enough to have them put in
envelopes.
Then they pay for them and go out,
leaving the long suffering photographer
free to relieve his overweight nerves in
any form Of speech he thinks will be
most soothing to his feelings and ex-
pressive Of his sentiments. - Boston
