EDITORIAL NOTES.

In pursuance of our promise we this week present our readers with another portrait study by Mr. Geo. M. Morgan, vice-president of the Boston Camera Club.
Mr. Morgan has succeeded in a branch rarely mastered by amateurs. He makes a specialty of portrait work, and his work in this direction has been very greatly admired.
The chief attractions of his pictures are simplicity in pose and excellent choice of subjects.
