This picture is bound to become one of my favorites.

Think of all the qualities of girls, and this picture describes each one perfectly. Flirtatious. Pretty. Cute Daring. Their faces are hidden, but their personalities are on a picture platter, and it is splendid.

It could be called "Hiding," "Girls' Hands," or simply "Girls." (Personally, I'm in favor of "Girls.")

I can use it for anything I want. Who could sue me?

Its colors are marvelous, the layout supreme. Better yet, it was not a setup picture. My cousins (good little girls) really did do what it looks like they are doing.

Already I'm thinking about what I can do with it:

• Use it for image illustrations.
• Release it to the public domain and produce another Mona Lisa.
• Show it to my flighty models as good advice (just kidding).

What else can I say? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this one is overwhelmed.
