It is the hardest thing IN the world

the way some women dress They
have an idea that the more colors they
get on. the better they look, and the
result is that when they see their pho
tograph and the curious effect pro-
duced by the colors, they'll blame the
photographer, though we always tell
them beforehand. Nearly all persons
look better in picture than in real.

plexions. Some ladies, for instance,

view of their features, while front
view is decidedly disappointing. OF
course, in photographing them, we
take the side view. Some look better
with a hat ON and some in full out
door costume. But there is one thing
you may not know, and that is very
few ladies look well photographed in
white, yet the only pictures many
have taken are in their graduation or
wedding dresses. Rochester Democrat
