RECREATION. 



The Korona camera, made by trie Gund- 

 lach Optical Co. and which was awarded 

 me as the third prize, is greatly admired 

 as the most compact and best finished 5 x 

 7 outfit we have seen. I thank you for 

 the opportunity afforded by the very fas- 

 cinating competition. Uncle Tom, the 

 subject of the picture, is a character. He 

 wanted to dress up, but I took him as he 

 came in from his wet work and suggested 

 one of his characteristic attitudes. I hope 

 the result will give the readers of Rec- 

 reation the same pleasure that Tom's 

 hosts of friends have expressed. 



I wish to testify my thorough apprecia- 

 tion of Recreation. It is one of the most 

 welcome visitors to my study, and the 

 latch string will be out as long as it wishes 

 to come. I marvel at its cheapness, work- 

 manship and completeness. You have my 

 best wishes for your prosperity, and, what 

 is more practical, my recommendation 

 whenever I see a chance to increase your 

 circulation. 



Frank E. Ramsdell, Cambridge, Mass. 



The photographic department of Recre- 

 ation affords me much pleasure. I only 

 wish more of the A B C of the art might 

 be published, as I am often lost in the in- 

 tricacies of various problems.

If you have not yet ordered a set of the 

 Hudson pictures, illustrating the poem 

 "To My Gun," you should do so at once. 

 Only a few sets were printed, and about 

 half of them have already been sold. No 

 more will be printed, as the plates were 

 too much worn in running the November 

 edition of Recreation to make any more 

 good impressions. Only $i for the 5 full 

 page artist's proofs. Nothing finer could 

 be found at the price, for decorating an 

 office, a dining-room, a parlor or a den.

A mother of twins one night heard a 

 series of giggles proceeding from the 

 neighborhood of the children's bed. 



"What are you laughing at there?" she 

 said. 



"Oh, nothing." replied Edith, one of the 

 twins, "only you have given me 2 baths and 

 Alice none at all." — Tit Bits.
