He Poses for His Portrait

So then we shall have a portrait of boo'ful Snookums. Muvver says he's like dada. Dada says he's like muvver. Both agree he's the prettiest baby ever and should have a portrait painted. A famous painter is engaged. He is happy to paint their darling, but "Come, kitty, kitty, kitty." Snookums doesn't want a picture; he wants to pull its 'ittle tail. Snookums cries. They are distracted. A wild hunt for the elusive kitten takes place. The famous painter scrambles around under beds and bureaus and finally gets Snookums the kitten, but Snookums gets his goat. A battle royal between the most wonderful baby and its latest prize, and again a kitten hunt is in order. Another moment and the doting parents find themselves and their Snookums politely dismissed. Next moment the painter collapses in the arms of sympathetic friends and relates the indignities Snookums would heap on his exalted head.
