The pony Is of the Shetland variety and "calico" In pat tern. "The fond mother who can with stand the temptation ot having darling baby photographed, astride of th pony, has not yet been found," one ol the photographers explained.

One of them forced us to 'rehearse' 're-hearse' baby on the pony for a hall hour before the picture was taken. She wanted pome of the plcturea on post cards, she said, so she could Bend copies to friends back east. She wished baby to look natural on the animal so that tho eastern friends would think the family out here had 'struck It rich' and were maintaining a stable ot saddlers. "Another woman who was not satisfied satis-fied to allow tne picture taken with her mndost home In the background, asked us to take the picture over In the next block, where there was an unoccupied house of rather pretentious preten-tious exterior. We did It and the woman ordered two dozen coplet Babies Ba-bies look so 'cute' on the pony, the women say. Next year we are going to Introduce a big, kind-faced Newfoundland New-foundland dog as a property.
