pIIOTOGRAPfEING
ASLEEP.
BEAUTY
Fascinating Pictures Of Society Bellies
Now Being Taken

1T is an undisputed fact that
pretty woman never looks so pretty as
when she is asleep. Beautiful woman,
recognizing this truth about her ap-
pearance, when she is asleep, is, now
taking advantage Of it in a marvellous
way, and her latest fad is the photo
graph of herself in the arms Of Nor
pheus. Usually she rests on a diyan,
and the clever photographer arranges
the pillow under her head so that not
Il single beauty is forgotten by the
sun, while the human artist will clever
ly enough blot out the imperfections
i'll the retouching. If my lady is in
clined to be a little festive, she wears
in her latest photograph a suit of
pajamas, and has nothing thrown over
her Then shd looks like q pretty boy
who, weary Of frolic, has lain down
to rest. This is a fetching picture, but
it Is not the enticing one That shows
mademoiselle arrayed in the fullest
Of lawn night dresses with cascade
of lace close UP to her neck, frills Of
it falling about her wrists, one hand
resting just beside her and the other
UP under her head.
In all this glimmef of white which
covers her completely she is the most
absolutely feminine thing imaginable.
The photographed who has made him
self famous taking these pictures told
a writer for the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette that the most marvellous thing
about it all was how few of the women
had pretty feet, and how very difficult
it was to make some of them under
stand that they couldn't sleep in high
heeled slipper; that either the little
pink foot itself must show naked little
truth, or elsd it must be entirely hid
den; and he added that when wo-
man had q pretty foot she usually rec
ognized it quite as well as he did, and
was quite as anious to display it's
charms to the cold, glaring eye Of
the camera.
That is fad No. 1 in the photograph
line. No. 2 has been transplanted here
from France. 1T shows a pretty wo-
man in a fascinating dressing gown,
sitting III front Of her dressing table,
which is covered with all the dainty
litter, utterly unknown to man, with
a powder puff in her hand, as il she
were going to put the last touch On
her face. Of course, the face itself
is seen in the mirror, and the effect
when the subject Is a good one il de-
cidedly suggestive of Mime. Pompadour,
or of any of those beauties who per-
united their admirers to SIT around
while they gave the finishing touches
to their makeup.

When patent leather is not used the
tip is only indicated by perforations,
