From the dignified isolation of the “what not” in the closed-up front room it has achieved a non- chalant but important position now in the library or living room. But the album of today ain’t what she used to be. The ones now being used in homes of cabinet members, congressmen and diplo- mats are made of tooled leather with the family name embossed in gold.
