And so would you were you to see

VIZ E all resent being made to
wv assume unnatural positions.
And yet that is just exactly
what some photographers force us
to do when we visit their studios.
They insist upon having us pose,
forgetting that only actresses and
models have mastered that difficult
art. Naturally we become irritated
and strained with the result that
our proofs are so disappointing that
we go through the whole process
again, only to meet with a second
disappointment. Now Roshon, the
Market Street Photographer, know
ing that people of refinement do not
wish to be arbitrarily twisted into
all sorts of positions, allows them
to assume natural and beautiful
postures. Consequently his portrai-
lures are ''the talk of the town."

but no matter what else 1 love, it's
the tea and coffee that want to
talk about this time. Particularly
the tea. Sometimes I think the
English people are the wisest folk
in all the world because, no matter
what comes, they daily treat them
selves to a cup or two of that de-
licious beverage. But we are be-
ginning to emulate their example.
In many homes tea is served with
great regularity. And it is to the
lovers of this stimulating drink that

There 'ssomething in ''the parting hour"
Will chill the warmest heart,
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those she leaves behind.
Have you trusty comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end.
And when you part-as part you will
Oh! take it not unkind,
If she who goes is happier
When you she leaves behind.
God wills it so, and so it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful
are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor man, subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May she not still be happier far
Than those she leaves behind?
