DRESSING FOR PnOTOGRAPHING.
A photographer of fashionable estab-
lishment was in his studio touching"
o copy of large negative, when o
reporter called in for chat ON photo
graphy. Public taste is improved now
over what it was few years ago, when
desire for the sensational prevailed.
Not so very long ago photographers
kept in stock sealslSin sacques, skirts
and other necessary adjuncts of female
dress, which they had their patrons put
on that they might be taken after the
style of actresses. Speaking of ladies
Oh the stage, they ATE the best class of
patrons to photograph. They have
been pictured so often, know how to
dress artistically both their clothing and
hair, and are willing to accept any SEN
sible suggestions from the artist in
charge, which is far more than many
society people will do
"Too many think they have nothing
to do personally with the photographs
They can dress in any manner, wear
anything, pose as pleases them, and
they will be taken artistically. This is
an erroneous impression. You take
lady with a mass OF white around her
neck, and after she Isl photographed that
white will detract from the look of her
face. The contrast between the stuff
and the flesh tints in life are lost in the
likeness, to the detriment of the facial
expression. The high sleeve dresses of
to-day are ugly, and distort the form.
High dressing about the neck is to be
avoided for ladies. The Greek style of
Embarrassing, close to the head, rather
plain i'll front, and twisted into coil at
the back of the neck, is the only sensi-
BILE way for lady to be photographed.
It shows off her head prettily, and
always looks refined and artistic High
coitfures, waves, bangs, frizzes and other
devices for Uranium ornamentation may
be the rage, but in photograph they
look ridiculous and foolish after the
fashion has changed. A low neck in
dress is becoming to nearly every lady
in picture, for it gives chance at
head posing which is not effected by
collars, ruches, ETC., that extend almost
to tie chin. Ladies by far make the
best subjects, and give more time and
attention to their purpose than men.
They frequently make an engagement
with photographer for an entire morn
ing's attention, and come with a half
dozen dresses, in which they are photo
graphed.
1.-THE clothing worn by men is mart
istic and hides the outlines of their
figures, particularly their pantaloons,
which are as ungraceful as can be mag
1ned. American men, as a rule, have
long necks and sloping shoulders for
this reason they can wear tolerably high
shirt collars. The neatest neckwear of
this class is the rolling collar, always
stylish and effective in photograph.
Men ought never to wear anything else
when going to sit for picture that is,
If their necks are not too long and can
stand the low collar A short man
ought never wear II sackcoat; it destroys
the lines of his form. In Prince
Albert garment a fellow can nearly
every time look first rate in photo
graph. There are no accepted rules for
dressing either sex for visit to GAL
lery. If q person has taste in clothes,
and takes the hints good artist will
afterward give him, no fault is likely to
be found with the work"
