There arc many vani.itH Of the genus
smlls. There's the smile that Is child.like
and bland, tho cultivated smile, and the
olebeisn smile that ripples forth like the
H.st oyous laugh Of the boiler factory, and
hat spreads out with gurs 10 that closes
the eyes, trots out the wisdom teeth, and
tben shows q roauish diinple in tho tonsls.
There might bs enumerated, also. tho
classical emile, the subdued smile, the par-
lor emile, the sacred .mile, tho belors.e!ec.
ton Bmile, tho ai.er.elec,ion smile and the
snils that you get two for. a quarter, called
the twofor smile.
Then We have the stage smile and the
portrait emile. 1t might be well to digress
hero and refer 10 tbs portrait smile mora
in detail. Kind, genial and wealth pam.
pered reader, ss you sit in your gaudy but
still rich and volupsuoua apartments this
beautiful morning, with Jour feet on the
piano, did you ever stop to consider the

10 deadly combat, but cannot affect 10y
that I d.. not feel while the cas,.iroD hut

People who will took at my portrait in

tice that it has This panied expression and
wild, hunted look, az though ! had
lodged into the photographers 10 eYade
creditor or long suffering and relentle:s
vigilance committee but those who think
80 are in error. l 10 not call 10 mind
photograph that I ever had taken under
those circumstances. h.r
am positive that the art Of photography
is upon tho eve Of grand stride toward
Perfection. Thcse who have never seen
anything on the ave Of a grand stride will
find little Of interest in what am about to
say; but tho day 10 not far distant when no
cane man will have his photograph pplled
without the administration ofan al p thetie.
