"Only one person should 60 with II

said a camera artist. Then he went
on: No attempt should be made TO
get child photographed in any but

Children should always wear light

lures. Light tones harmonic with
their complexions, and photograph in
less time than darker hues Navy

dark. Light green, brown, scarlet,
gray and purple take light. Rose

the cream tint is more desirable
than pure white. Black silk or velvet
take as dak MS ink. IL is as easy
to get good pictures of children as
Of grown folk if people would attire
the little ones in suitable colors and
simple style, not make them nervous
before they reach the studio and
leave them entirely TO the operator
after they are there. Grown people
would secure more satisfactory pic
tmes of themselves, too, If they'd
trust more to the operators judgment
and less to their own. People ought
to think about the details of their
dress and hair arrangement before
they come in front of the camera. AS
rule, the more simple the attire and
coiifure the more pleasing and natural
the picture. Proofs should never be
examined in a bright light, as they
fade so rapidly. It's no guide to the
photographer to send back two or
three proofs with the message:
"Finish from the darkest one, or,
"the.-lightest one,' for they are all
liable to be of the same shade when
they reach him.

There is n fashion in the date Of
weddings, and one of so marked u
nature that no bride that is to be
would think of deviating. In April,
after the Lenten season, and early
June are the favorite months. May
has always been avoided, It being de-
termined an unlucky month, and yet
no one can tell why. The weddings
dedicated to certain flower are now
to give way to pretty idea that has
made its appearance in London. That
is, the wearing by all the bridesmaids,
of which it is the rule to have from
six to ten, of long boas, fashioned
mainly Of flowers. They are made of
buttercups, daisies, violets, pansies
and forget-me-nots, or any of the
smaller blossoms which may, in
color, harmonize with the costume.

The latest development of luxurious

put young girls into the hands of q
skilled nurse during the season, so
that the strain of the whirl Of pleasure

we're as if she were training her pro-

am almost afraid to add that il is
said that by the aid of this treatment
girls last at least ten years longer than
those who are left to themselves, lest
some Of my readers should be tempt
ed to adopt the system. 1t may, how
ever, be preferable, after all, to the
arts of Madame Rachel and her sis

think that any healthy girl should re-

The Cleopatra Bath Robe--A New

Growing larger?

The Cleopatra bathrobe is made of
athick blanket, soft and fleecy, and
is the newest development in the way
of novelty. No woman of means
and leisure oughtto consider her ward
robe and comfort complete without
this loose, toga-like garment. The
decoration is of tive kinds. That is,
the fashionable decoration, much OF
the ornamentation in vogue on gar
ments is fashionable only in the sense
Of common, but the artistic bathrobe
is either embroidered or painted.
There Is room for wide skill and art in
beautifying these robes, and if reports
are to be trusted some truly delightful
costumes are doomed forever to go
unadmired, except by their fair owner.
