eaWess Reproductions of] family Portraits! The publishers of the famous COPLEY PRINTS prepared to make copies of family portraits from da- guerreotypes, old photographs, etc. PRINCESS of one of the courts of Europe sent us a group photograph with directions to reproduce separately and in larger size the head of her husband. She liked his picture in this group better than any portrait ever made of him. Our reproduction was so satisfactory that further patronage has resulted. The order, it should be said, was entirely unsolicited. ‘OR family gifts, nothing could be more highly prized than COPLEY PRINT reproduc- tions of family portraits,—your father, mother, grandfather, or other loved ones. Excellent gift toa bride, for example. And even if only for one’s self, it is wise to provide against accident to the original by having it reproduced in the permanent and beautiful form of the COPLEY PRINTS. Daguerreotypes, tintypes and old photographs (even if faded) can be done in this form, as well as portraits in miniature, pastel or oils. FHe-Copleu Prints are also unsurpassed as gifts to friends, and for framing for one’s home. As to quality, the late Edwin A. Abbey said, “I could not wish your COPLEY PRINT reproductions of my Holy Grail to be better.” The prices range from $1.00 to $100.00. Obtainable through the art stores, or sent on approval by the publishers.

The Cen- tury Company No other pianist could play Like Frau Mercédes, née Okraska, Whose Spanish-Polish charms, they say, Would melt a glacier from Alaska. She earned a thousand pounds a night! (But that is merely incidental), And reigned a goddess, strange and white, Sublime, but awful temper’mental.” Her blind adorers never guessed Her inner nature; impish, elfish, A naughty child she seemed, at best; At worst, malicious, false and selfish. Around her cackled throngs of geese, Yet none in such a shrine installed her As Karen, her adopted nicce, Who worshipped “ Tante"—so she called her. However, Karen left her Queen, Beset with lion-hunting To marry Gregory Jardine Who in his heart despised Mercédes. Like fabled Até, imp of strife, Mercédes wrought to bring disaster ; She thrust herself ‘twixt man and wife And Karen left her lord and master For wily Tante, sprite of sin, Who played her like a concertina. Then Mrs. Talcott butted in; That worthy dea ex machina Had dwelt with Tante all her days; She spoke a word or so in season Depicting Tante’s works and ways Till Karen saw a gleam of reason. She ran away and nearly died; But pretty soon her hushand found her And won her back, though Tante tried Again to weave new spells around her. This novel brings again to light, A truth which Genius sometimes smothers— That Genius gives her brood no right, To disregard the rights of others.
