W. L. DOUGLAS, BROCKTON, MASS.

A PROMINENT member of the Boston Camera Club recently entertained his friends with an exhibition of lantern pictures, representing the best phases of French art in painting and sculpture. Among the guests was a Mrs. G, a rare type of female loveliness, in her décolleté and sleeveless costume, and her pretty little five-year old daughter, Effie, also deeply interested in the exquisite pictures as they were thrown upon the screen. Effie was quietly sitting in her beautiful mother's lap, uttering not a sound, until Falconner's Cupid" gave way to Pradiers undraped female figure of "Vanity"-a lovely daughter of Eve facing the spectator in the attitude of arranging her heavy tresses. In an instant little Effie became alive, and, wildly clapping her hands in delight, she loudly exclaimed: Oh, look, look! There's mamma, there's mamma!" The effect upon the assembly was electrical, as every one had met and admired Mrs. G before the light had been turned down; but as it was too dark to see what happened, it is safe to assume that the enfant terrible was affectionately hugged, rather than spanked, by the parent so unexpectedly complimented.-Argonaut.
