If you love me a. love you,
No knife can cut our love In two
That Sanders speller." so tattered and

Has always n halo OF romance worn,
And never poet with honeyed pen
Has written 80 precious rhyme since then
IF you love me as love you,

This dog scared, shabby, old spelling-book,

And now, as hold II within my hand,
Again In the sChOOl-roOm seem To stand
Reading once more with rapture new
IF you love me a. love you.
How some foolish saying from out OF the

Like a rose branch is over the pathway

And the time OF flowers, we still remember,
Till the winds blow cold In the bleak DeCem-

God grant n always may be true
THAT you love me as | love you"

Be Perennial.

They Arc Costly, but Their Charm May
Be Perennial.
Being photographed nowadays is an
elaborate process. Heretofore when a
woman wanted her photograph taken she
went to the studio and arranged about the
size of the picture and the number she
wanted. She gave reassuring touch to
her hair, sat down before the camera,
turned her head little to the right or to
the left, as the artist desired, and clamped
on either stemple, gazed fixedly, insipidly
or otherwise, at spot on the wall. Now
the subjects possibilities are studied in
detail. Nothing is left to accident. The
fashionable woman carries her various
gowns to the studio with her and tries
them on, eech in turn, that the artist may
decide which suits her best. She pays $50
for the photographs.
Her hair is arranged by skillful hands
in different ways, that a style of coiffure
may be chosen which will be appropriate,
not only to the contour of her face and
head, but to the environments of the pic
ture. The subjects hands and arms are
criticised, likewise her throat and neck, to
see whether a severe high costume or an
evening gown shall be used. The topics of
background and accessories are discussed.
All of these tinted carbon photographs
are taken full length. Maybe the subject
will pose as dame of the first empire,
with skinny satin gown, elaborate Golf
fure, jeweled girdle, fan and vinaigrctte
Perhaps she stands half turned about,
with her back to the spectator and her
pure profile deity brought out on dark
velvet curtain. All women would not look
charming in such a position. The artist
knows whom to choose, and the subject
will wonder at her own beauty when she
sees the picture.
A willful, coquettish girl is posed as a
modern Priscilla. Tho quaint spinning
wheel and high backed chair, the small
PANIED window at the back of the colonial
| room, form o charming contrast with her
rich brocada gown and beaming face. The
scant, pulled sleeves set off the rounded
arms, the curve of the wrist the hand that
grasps the wheel is like d rare old paint
ing, and the undulating outlines of the
figure are suggested, not revealed, by the
prim folds of the lowered silk frock
These latter day photographs arc like
paintings and are likely never to grow old
fashioned. They have the charm that dis.
tinguishes the portrait painters of the old
English school-a charm that custom will
not stale. They will not become out OF
date and grotesque, like the photographs
| of 20 years ago, found in family albums.
In those days woman was hired to put
the lights in the eyes, color the cheeks and
paint the ribbon bows and artificial flowers
of the ladies and the gay neckties and
buttonhole bouquets Of the gentlemen. The
new photographs, be it hundred years
hence always will be things of beauty, no
matter what eyolutions, contractions or
diminutions may befall woman's Dress
