MMSIH? Sraro d CmmiEM ' ?'J II] past few years lias witnessed the Rra$ velopment of a unique activity, the pur-^. Bgjn pose of which Is to satisfy public curios- |i f N. 11 y regarding men an?l women who are I j prominent in one or another of the con- II \ J spicuous walks of life. This particularly 1 ' up-to-date vocation might he <|i noniinated i.io "snap-shotting" of celebrities, which means ( tho making of instantaneous photographs of the people who are temporarily or permanently in tho public eye and whoso personal appearance Is consequently a matter of interest to the people of all parts of the country. Few newspaper readers who take delight l:i the nuifK of plctuies spread nowadays ovir every printed page, ever s-1'?|> to reflect what a compar.'ttlvely short time ago It was that llrst saw such embellishment of the chronicle of the day's happenings. Most of our readers can doubtless remember distinctly the time when pictures were unknown in their favorite newspaper, and even after crude cuts be.v.m to make their appearance In the advertising columns of the weeklies, an I later In the dailies, it was a long lapse ere the pictures were to be found In the reading columns and a yet longer time before the r?*iiil 1* canio to expoc t not i < ro sc??nic subject.; bin graphic pictures of the curr. :it happenings of the busy world.

Newspaper readers with . a thirst lor accurate Information came to demand pictures that won Id show the subjects as they actually appeared. Moreover, they wanted not a oommonphc' bust photo, but a full length picture that would represent its object as he would appear to one who met him on the street and with si hi:.: as to tils dlstinetive charact' ristics nfi to dr< ss, i tc. From this demand was bora iho personal "snap shot " Nn\vai!;iys the snap hot is to n iarqe extent displacing iho stereotvp? <1 vlsago in the public prints. Almost everybody who achieves fatno or notoriety must must needs fall victims to tho sharpshooters of the camera.
