COLONEL ALBERT b. CHANDLER, presi-
dent of the Brooky n Society of Vermonters,
rendered Senator Morrill, reception last
Wednesday evening at his residence on
Clinton Avenue. In speaking of it and of
Senator Morrill,, the Brooklyn Eagle COM
pares him to Gladstone and says that he is
one of the few surviving representatives OF
the older and more upright traditions of the
United States senate; that his years are
full of deserved honor: that he nonors his
office, elevates American life and distin-
cuisines Vermont among the states; that he
red SENS the senate from many of the re-
proAches which roaring demagogues and
swollen jobbers and sellers of law have cast
upon it.

How to Dress for Plot graph.

In recent number of The Photogram,
Catharinn Weed Ward gives some good
advice to women planning to sit before the
camera: "The greater number of sittcrs
are utterly ignorant as to how materials,
colors and styles of costume will appear in
the finished portrait and the operator Is
blamed for what is, as rule, not his fault
AS "A rule, 1t is well-and should be re-.
quired--to avoid very positive patterns,
such as large plaids, checks, wide stripes,
and much jet or other glttering trimming
and much jcwclry. Sharp contrasts in ma
terials, trimming or style of cut are a de
cded detrimcnt to II pleasing portrait, and
as rule, the tone of color should harmo.
nize with the sitter's complexion and hair
Glistening silks are difficult to light WELL
as is any material which does not easily
lend itself to soft folds. Dead luster silk.
soft woolens, grapes, fleecy tissues ana
similar materials are always effective. y
Mrs. Ward advises, too, that one should
soften, by rendering it indefinite, the line
between skin and dress, both at neck and
wrists, remembering, always, that, how.
ever well costume may appear in reality,
it alters before the camera and may call
IGNITION to what might otherwise pass
