Vocation and Avocation.

"Avocation'' is n of those I'M
fortunate words that are constantly
being used in a wrong sense Strict
" speaikiiug, it refers to something
that calls a man away from the or
binary occupation Of his daily life.
If you earn your living by drafting
conveyances and interpreting leral
s1btleties and also are often seen in
leisure hours with a camera in your
hand and have a dark room at
home, then the law IS your vocation
and photography your avocation.--
