d small Pennsylvania town was nothing
unusual. She had often put int that
length OF time right busily filling orders
and taking them.
The albums which she composed OF
views Of each Town in its different as
poets sold like hot cakes for a reason
able price. One sample album she COM
posed and exhibited about the place and
received orders from others. This was
really one Of the most fortunate features
of her inventive genius.
AT country fairs. and even at city af-
fairs Of the kind. church bazaars and
SO on. she found quite a field for her
labors and reaped many orders. Her ex-
| eellent work in the cause Of photography
was constantly on exhibition and well
known.
Amateur theatrical stars We're another
class which formed e~xtravagant and de-
voted persons. In suburbs, where the
craze exists for performing under the
trees with a starry canopy she had or
ders galore. The performers, one and all,
wanted to be photographed in their diff
ferent costumes. The various scenes were
desired in several sizes and tones. And
groups were ordered by onlookers as well
as performers on pretty souvenirs.
In the country she received calls to
the animal and produce fairs. Many
were the orders for such homely subjects
as the prize pig, the cow who won the
medal, the finest colt and so on through
the entire farrayard list.

real financial success. The album sale
was very extensive. because the little
volumes being c~hsr1ningly bound. formed
charming -remernbrances Of many a sum
mer trip of childhood haunts.
Then the brave little woman has many
an offer from firms and professionals de-
s.ring her aid In their business, but her
own has SO far prospered much too thor
oughly to make such a course advisable
or necessary. She has nc made a for
une. but what woman starting out In G
new work will expect to accomplish that?
What woman. indeed. under those cir
cumstances would not have been proud
to have earned a competence during those
first few months?
The advantage in the work-it is al
most sure to strike the woman at first
thought who understands camera talk
is the fact that the necessary outfit IS so
easy of access. The materials, instru-
ments and so on required are so few
and SO reasonable in price that it Is per-
haps the cheapest makeup in any Of
the wonlan's meters which are at pres
ent springing up all around US.
