during the winter of IT77-78. Alter din-ner
thoy enjoyed themselves playing
numerous games and then all adjourn-ed

relics of the Revolution"there displayed
and to wander through its quaint old
rooms. The most interest wns taken in
the cave which once lead from the
house to the river and used as a means
ii est ape in ease of surprise by the en
ciny lb ire most of the party according
to custom 'registered" on the walls
Of the cave. The younger folks then
eclded to hunt out the formications on

to the Headquarters where some enjoy-ad
themselves by games while other*
went out boating on the lake. Soon

"eranels" to enjoy the ride down stream
In the early twilight
Before Conahohocken was reached
darkness overtook the party and they
enjoyed the ride by moon light. To
make ii more pleasant the boat was
adorned with Japanese lanterns which
made a very pleasing spectacle. The

AGENTS WHO STEAL PICTURES
260
7..".it"
Many housewives of the borough
have been bothered for a long time by
agents of portrait companies who want
to enlarge photos, make crayons, pas-tels,
etc.
Their plan is to ask for a picture to
enlarge (or nothing, on bringing the
iinislicd crayon however, they have it
in a fancy frame. Then the woman is
told thai the frame will cost four or
live dollars, and that the picture is giv-en
providing she buys the frame. If
she refuses to take the frame they
then "back out" of their original agree-ment.
Furthermore, they refuse to re-turn
the small picture which was loan-ad,
the usual excuse being thai It can't
be found. A resident of Sixth avenue
said that an agent look her son's pic-lure
out of the album when she left
.e room for a moment, and afterward
be showed II to neghliors claiming that
It was given him and to create new
business.
Most of these firms are located In
Philadelphia and they realize that
more money would have to be spent
to recover their small photo than it la
really worth.
These firms should be boycotted If
not Jailed and their agents chased out
of the town.
