Women are self-conscious enough,
though, under certain conditions
don't believe that in all the fine cOllec.
ti0ns Of photographs exhibited this year
there are half dozen girls who have NOS
assumed the expression they were taken
in. It is curious to note the character
displayed in these unknown faces-the
bias toward the sentimental, rs in that
young lady's with the fine eyes that gaze
angnishingly upward, with her pretty
hands clasped under her rather sSarD
chin. As q rule. I think thin girls most
affect the Tnoon-stl.uck attitude. A cast
OF melancholy does not suit excessive
ayoirdup0is. The fat ones affect dignity
as o general thing, and In finu reserve,
even haughtinese, indeed, before which
the brayest photographer must quail at
times.
Then there is the cynical expression,
though this is rare and the expression Of
extreme felicity and good -wiIl toward all
mankind, and the trustfnl, questioning
expression, and the debOnnaiFe, saxiey
look like that upon the countenanee of
tbs tiretty girl in the sailor hat and
yaelst ng suit. Men, as general thing,
affect either extreme sterness or lofty in,
tellectuality in photographs, hut o mans
picture is more likely to be faithful re-
production of his common mood than 3
woman is Of hers. UnconsciOusness, we
are told is the last effect Of good breed
ing. II photographs are TO be regarded
as indicating ourpossessiou Of It, we have
