As usual thing, the women of great
wealth start the sages, and the women
of smaller pretensions follow behind
them imitatively, But it is different in
amateur photography. This diversion
has grown quite general during the
past two or three years, and the sight
of girl outfit ted with q camera was
common last summer throughout the
country. The genuine feminine swells
of New York, however, have not ntil
this winter gone into photography to
any great extent But if they are for
once beh;ndhan they arc at least ablo
to indulge in the fad in manner not
easy to ordinary operators. Good out
door daylight is usually requisite for
amateur work, and few indoor
pictures are attempted. But con-
serva orv is as good as professional
photographers gallery in the matter of
light, and so the daughters of what
may call conservatory families have the
facilities at their command for winter
photography. SO nearly every glass
rooted flower-houso in Fifth avenue and
its neighborhood is the resort of one or
more fair photographers, and in sew
eral cases photographing parties are
held by appointment once a week. 4

prietary manner on the arm of the wo-
man, while the man servant walks de-
ferent ally, yet pompously, behind
them. The child is a daughter of u

woman is her governess who instructs
her in most of the branches of educa-
ton and who is now escorting her to
the dancing master. The lackey goes
along ostensibly to protect the extra
precious heiress, but really to give i'm
pressiveness to the procession as a sort
of drum major.
1t IS pleasure to be able to write
truthfully that the children of the As
