A SWEETHEART'S PHOTOGRAPH
l 1 A Boston photographer tells a story 3 of a young man who came into the • studio and asked nervously if he might 1 have a little conversation with him. The visitor was painfully ugly, and after some awkward blushing and indefinite allusions he asked the artist if he supposed he had among his samples a k picture of any young man who looked i like him but was rather better-looking. I " What do you mean, young man?" ■ > asked the photographer. " Well," re- | 1 plied he, making a clean breast of it, "I am just engaged to be married. • The young lady lives out West. She 1 is going home to-morrow. She says .she thinks I'm so good she doesn't mind my being homely, but she wants a good-looking picture "to take home with hei to show the girls."
