give him the profoundest pleasure
and relaxation. One is amateur pho
Biography and he has many books OF
snapshots taken at his summer home
which give vivid Idea of outdoor
life in the environs OF Stockholm and
which also serve to ease the sense of
inconsistencies which assails him At
times. For he can gaze at will upon
his beloved flowers and household
