' Maybe you fix a grave here in de'shop for me.' ; * I am afraid I haven't the necessary accessories,' said the photographer. Then, with an attempt at facetiousenss, he suggested : 4 Couldn't we arrange to have the portrait made at the grave itself?' ' Dot's in Bennsylvania,' sighed the German. 'It vould .be too exbensive to go there. Yust you fix up some kind ofgrave here in de shop. I could veep on dot. It's no drouble for me to veep anyvcre.'
