PosITE PICTURE.
School Teacher Points Out to Her
Glass Just What It Means-char-
aeter Might Be Modelled Along
Same Lines.

It was Miss Frevert's custom to de-
vote the last few minutes of the lesson
period to an informal discussion of
anything that the girls themselves
might suggest. One Sunday Elizabeth
French had perfectly new idea.
Let's have composite photograph,
girls" she said, according to the
Youths Companion. when l visited
my cousinlI went with her and a few
other girls, and we had one taken. It's
very interesting"
The girls agreed at once, and next
week they sat for their pictures. When
the composite photograph was made,
Miss Frevert took it to the class with
her. The girls exclaimed with delight
and surprise when she showed It to
them. Then, as they studied it, a
curious silence fell upon them.
Why" said Elizabeth, slowly, it's
more beautiful, more spiritual, than
any of us!"
ut looks like some pictures of
Mary, the mother of Jesus!" cried Bet
ty Ripley. Then she flushed "I don't
mean to be irreverent," she STAN
mered.
Miss Frevert placed a reassuring
hand over Betty's. "You were not"
she said. II am glad>you have discov-
cred for yourselves the fact that this
composite picture is more ideal than
any single face that has gone into the
making of 1t. To me there is some
thing very significant In that. You
know that 1t is through agreements
alone that you can make composite
picture. Every feature that does not
agree with other features leaves 80
slight an impression on the plate that
1t cannot be seen. But every feature
that is common to many faces will be
clear and positive. Do you see what
that means?"
There was moments silence, and
then Louise Barton said: cit means
that there is something fine In each
one of us, no matter how mean and
selfish we are"
wouldn't 1t be awful" mused Betty
Ripley, ito think that there wasn't a
single one Of your features In that

But wouldn't 1t be fine" said Miss
FreVert, ito combine in your face all
