lated on the fine showing made.

follows: Bamberg $650.00; Den

Lovely New Photographs.

Every woman who can scrape to-
gether the wherewithal-the process is
costly-is now being photographed to
look like one of the old Georgian prints
1t is all in the finishing, but the re-
suits of the oval pictures, with their
soft gray tints blending into a land
scape background, are delightful and
make even plain woman look her
best.
These prints blend from the oval
into a square background of similar
tints, and the picture is framed In nat
holding like the frames of the same
period.
The present coiffures are especially
suitable for such a picture. A low
frock will give best results and looks
in keeping with the period. Occasion
ally a large picture hat with gown is
becoming.
These Georgian prints are taken In
several sizes, but those that most close
" approach the old time square prints
are most effective Sometimes a line
of dull gold added inside the frame
heightens the tone.

Little folks who possess all their
senses will surely sympathize with
Katie Prick, a little deaf, dumb and
blind girl who is making wonderful
progress in acquiring an education
Katie lives in Pennsylvania and the
state has given money that she may
be educated When Katie was six she
lost the use of eyes, ears and voice and
the fact that she was not born in that
condition has been a great help to her
teacher, as she remembers many
things she saw before becoming blind
Katie was taught to count by means
of wooden blocks, learning quickly and
easily Her greatest triumph and
pleasure came, however, when she
learned to write and was able to send
letter to her parents. 1t is believed
that in time she may be taught to
speak. At present she converses by
placing her fingers on the lips Of those
speaking, as shown in the picture
above.

means a LABEL or ticket" How,
then, comes it to denote conventional
forms of ceremonyW
1t is said that certain Scottish gar
dener in charge of Louis XIV.'s gar
den at Versailles was very much put
out because the courtiers walked over
his beds. To keep off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets-"eti-
quettes"-at various spots, with in
structions as to the proper path. AT
first the naughty courtiers did not
deign to notice these placards. but

walks in future must be within the

the recipe she said: Now, young man,
that is my secret. Besides, If I told
yon. you would get it all wrong in the
