    A young lady of the east end had just received several proofs of different styles of photographs of herself and had kept them until the usual semiweekly visit of her best gentleman friend. He was punctual in arriving that night, but he never imagined that it was to be his last call for an indefinite period.

    He had no sooner seated himself in the parlor than the young lady brought in the photographs for his inspection. He looked them over very carefully and finally selected the only one of the several pictures showing a hat on the subject. It was a pretty big hat and beautifully trimmed. The piece of millinery caught his eye at first glance, and he most innocently remarked:

    "I think this is the best photograph. The hat is so pretty. It is a very fine picture of the hat.

    "The young man did not notice his fatal error until too late. His visit was short and uninteresting that evening, and now he wishes that the art of photography had never been discovered. ----  Pittsburg Dispatch.     _________________
