RELATED TO EVERY WHO'S WHO

IDENTIFY

Blond Hair, or Only Some
Obscure Painters
Ideal?

w YHo knows this pretty little
wv maiden?
Somewhere in the United
States, in blissful Inconsistencies Of
the fame that might be hers for the
claiming, lives girl, now perhaps
grown to young womanhood, beautiful
mayhap, and renowned as few of the
most fascinating actresses who charm
their thousands. Only blond haired
baby whom some obscure photographer
snapped fifteen or twenty years ago,
but her picture has travelled from one
end of the United States to the other,
from Maine to California, besides hav-
ing penetrated almost every city OF
any size on the continent
The picture is photographers SAM
ple carried by almost every travelling
picture salesman who tramps a coun-
try road. The statesmen claim the
winsome face as their talesman; for
the repor. goes that he who carries a
picture of the little beauty has but to
show it to make a sale; while his less
far seeing companion who tries to do
business without it seems pursued by a
hoodoo and fails.
Picture men estimate that over $780,
900 copies of the picture have been made
in the United States alone, not to men
ton other countries. One firm in Los
Angeles has made between four and
five thousand copies each year for the
past eight years, and there are hun
dreds of other copying companies in
the United States who are turning
them out.
Original Yelled Mystery
Nobody seems to know when the
original was first placed ii circulation.
One picture salesman in Los Angeles
declares that when he began busi-
ness in St. Louis, fourteen years ago,
the picture was the first one with
which he started on the road. Few if
any solicitors have not at some time or
other in their business career carried
this sample. AS soon as one becomes
soiled the salesman gets another.
Besides the great number of copies
scattered in every part of the coun-
try, the child who sat for the picture
has the additional fame of knowing
that she has been the niece or grand
child of every man of prominence the
country has ever Notwithstanding

with the little maid. The salesman
penetrates some rural district. inquiries
whether his prospective purchaser
knows Gov. 9 and on receiving n
negative answer, says, ITO bad. This
is his little niece, you know"
Meanwhile two big, clear, blue baby
eyes gaze steadily at the prospective
customer, mass of yellow hair falling
about her head lures him in it's meshes
a perfect cupid bow of a mouth is
parted in half smile-and the sales
mans victory is won. The purchaser
imagines that the enlargement of his
tow-headed little ragamuffin will look
like the angel child of the picture, and
the salesman signs the order.
In the meantime,' who is she, where
does she live, OF is she still alive? Has
