Meanwhile her husband. who had
lost no opportunity in the photograph
ing line, had gathered together val
liable collection of scenes which he
displayed among the passengers on his
return trip, with the frank explanation
that he had made them for the pur-
pose of selling them at home. Many of
the passengers offered good prices for
certain favorite scenes-never less than
81 a picture, and sometimes 81. By
the time the photographer arrived in
New York he had sold little over 800
pictures for $500. He disposed of the
remaining scenes to a magazine writer

a Honeymoon EnterDrise.

Early in the winter a. young Ameri-
can couple decided to take their hon
eymoon trip. with a tourist excursion
party booked for a rather extensive trip
through Southern Europe and the
Orient. at cost of $500 each, includ-
ing all expenses except personal tips.
The bridegroom provided himself with
two good cameras and an unlimited
enough photographs of out-of-theway
scenes to cover. part of his travelling
expenses. The bride had very diff
ferent scheme in view. She had man
aged, when engaging her passage, to
secure promise of accommodations at
the best hotels on the itinerary. such as
the Cecil in London, the Grand in
Paris, Shepard's IN Cairo, and she saw
to it that those promises were rigidIy
fulfilled later on.
At every one of the twenty-three
hotels that she visited she procured
hotel labels for her trunks or hand
baggage in as great quantities as pos
sible. In some instances she obtained
as many as twenty through judicious
tipping in others only six or eight.
No matter IL she stayed only one day
she saw to It that her hand baggage
was labeled and meanwhile she sought
and found-her opportunity to add
to her collection. At Monte Carlo and
other fashionable resorts she made
shift to secure labels from hotels
which she simply visited for that pur-
pose. All told she accumulated 220
by the end of the trip. Also she
bought $50 worth Of Maltese lace at the
moment of the ships departure from
that port, when the vendor sold his
entire stock at q ruinous reduction
