be dressed high and the hands should be
placed anywhere but near the bust or
stomach. Dull goods produce the effect
of slimness-velvets or pushes should
not be worn as they are too bulky. With
hair dressed high and a rather low cor
sage, with lace yelling the neck and no
ornaments of flowers or jewels, stout
woman can take as graceful picture as
either she or her friends desire.
The last time Miss Georgia Cayvan Wis
tied her photographer she hit upon a
happy pose for plump young woman.
Seating herself in narrow backed chair,
she turned her head back little in pro-
| file, and smiled into the face of the
| camera as if she were speaking to q
| friend.
s'That's the secret of the good photos
the actresses take" said one of the best
photographers in the world ''They
easily imagine people are really looking
at them.''
HOW TO MANAGE THE HAIR.
One can hardly dress the hair too loosely
| for picture. Mary Anderson used to
say that she arranged her hair as care
| fully as if for dinner party, and then
went to work and pulled 1t down again
| BY which she meant that she loosened if
until it was fluffy around the head, form
| ing rich setting for the face.
Many photographers insist upon touch
ing the front hair with powder 'sto bring
out the high lights, " and they beg that a
bit OF lamp black may be used upon the
eyebrows ''just to shade the eyes becom-
ingly-o
Miss Winnie Davis, esthe daughter OF
the Confederacy," has suffered a camera
martyrdom in her efforts to supply all her
friends with the pictures they craved
Wrapped in her fathers flag, she was
posed IS 'the daughter of the Confeder-
acy," and she has gladdened the old
south by giving herself up to be taken In
all sorts of military attitudes. she has a
fine figure and obeys the artistic instincts
of photography by showing her form as
well as her face.
HOW TO CONCEAL BLEMIsHEs.
1t is easy in a picture to conceal any
| blemishes that my exist in life.
An obnoxious mole, too prominent for
beauty spot, may be covered with wax
and powdered over. A light yelling may
be draped over scars or bruises.
| One OF the most famous beauties that
ever lived, the Empress Louise, mother
OF the old Kaiser Wilhelm, had fright
full scar upon her neck just under the ear.
And to hide it she always drew a quantity
OF white tulle yelling across the graceful
throat and over the afflicted side of her
head. The effect was very lovely, and
today women are buying the empresS's
picture for an IDEAL head, all unconscious
that the gauzy drapery conceals an ugly
wound.
The woman who is going to be photo
graphed would do we'll to study effects
and defects before going to ''sit.'' II
her nose is prominent she should insist
on bending the head a little back to take
the nose out OF prominence. And if she
signs for more nose she need only incline
her head as if she were admiring bou-
quet. But she must not look down.
| There is funny little thing about Mrs.
I CT evsland-ev rything is Mrs. Cleveland
now-whlch is noe known at all. When
she first went to the White house she
knew very little at all about being photo
graphed, and hel pictures as a bride were
very ordinary. One of them showed her
in sailor hat with three rows of putting
around the crown and the brim tipped
forward, in school girl mode, over her
eyebrows. OF course, the picture was
old fashioned before the first series OF
Washington dinners had been digested.
And meanwhile Mrs. Cleveland studied
the art OF taking pretty picture.
The old pictures are still in existence,
but Mrs. Cleveland will not allow the
public to see them.
