Snapshot at the Car.

Miss Lillian Bell, of Chicago, is the
first and only American girl who has
been permitted to make a photograph
of the Czar of Russia. She went to St
Petersburg few weeks ago on q sight
seeing tour for The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, but was informed by her friends
that her visit was untimely that nearly
every great show-place in the empire
was closed to visitors at that seaeon.
With winsome determination and
energy, characteristic of the American
girl, she set about to remove the
obstacles that beset her path as sight
seer, and in short time every door was
opened to her. Even the great White
Car of all the Russians bowed acquies-
cence to her unusual request to be per-
mitted to make a photograph Of him,
and paused an instant before her camera
as he passed in procession the spot
where the fair Chicagoan with her
camera awaited to take a snapshot.
Miss Bell tells of her famous exploit In
the July Journal.
