The family was examining with great
appreciation Toms first attempts at
nh. A., n, c,r photography. The
exhibit comprised
the usual assOrt-
ment of amateurs blunders, including
an especially large display of varied ef-
fects in the fine art of focusing. Finally.
relates the Youths Companion, one of
his cousins picked up print which ap-
parently represented stretch Of stony
field upon which heavy fog was shut
ting down. What in the world is this

retorted with dignity. Il should think
anybody could recognize that! It's the

Those rocks in the extremely interest

its the very finest photograph of Mrs
Ephraim Pemborton's view of life that
ever saw" Who does not, at the
phrase, recognize Mrs. Ephraim Penn
berton? Sometimes she is nervous and
worried; sometimes she is volubie and

permanent, the small duties, interests
perplexities Of her daily life are so mag
nifed that they fill all her field Of vision
and shut out the whole world OF beauty
and inspiration, OF sorrow and struggle
and happiness, that lies beyond them.
Even her joys are cheated Of half their
power of blessing because they are the
only joys that she ever really sees, the
gladness Of other people being merely
a part of the vague background Of her
own momentous affairs. In the great
art OF life as in the lesser one OF photog-
raphy. the mastery of focusing lies at
the foundation Of success. The eight
foot focus is necessary at times; but to
live always at the narrow range of
bread and butter and buttOnholes," as
one housewife characterized it, is to
make high achievement an impossible
