HAMMOCK PICTURES.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS liked also. They
are reclining pictures, but they are
harder in the pose. The camera artist
must know about raising the camera TO
take the face and arms instead Of the
under part Of the hammock. AS. nigh
as possible some of the cameras are
lifted; and when you look al the pic
ture. YOU see a pretty girl snugly tuck
ed in cushions, as tranquil as baby in
its cradle.
The hand and foot are brought out by

her pretty arm, letting the hand fall for
ward a little TO get the perfect shape OF
the lovely hand. There are little tricks
to couch photography that are not pos
sible other ways.
Tn sweetest couch photograph was
taken OF a row Of heads. The girls
snuggled themselves together, girl
fashion, upon one Of the long wicker
couches that come for summer rooms.
A coverlid of shaded Dresden silk was
thrown over them carelesSly and in ev-
cry fold of the coverlid was pretty
face. Below 1t extended a bewildering
assortment Of French heels, curved in
steps. and delicate ankles. Laughing,
as if getting photograph taken was
the funniest thing in life, the girls piled
themselves up together, reached for
coverlid and gave the word to take the
picture.
One curly head was nestled against a
plump cheek. Lovely brown eyes were
yelled in the matted curls of the blonde
head below A golden head lay nestled
on the back of a neck where the black

thought or care, but it was the greatest
success of the season. The camera was
pointed at it in two ways, once from
above, when the faces looked up laugh
ingly, and once from way back, where
eyes and a rangle of hair were the only
glimpse one caught Of the fair pcsers,
but perfectly recognizable.
Photographs asleep are good, if they
are successful. But few know how to
pose them. If taken asleep a young
woman should be surrounded by the
gayest Of things. Her couch should be
a mass of cushions of blue and red-one
takes white and the other black, and
there should be checked materials. a
striped cover and a fan. The calm.
peaceful look OF a girl asleep is not
liked in a photograph. It's quiet sug-
geSuOn is depressing to all who see il.
But with lOOsened hair. her pillows
slung around her, her parted lips show
ing the breath upon them. and her eye
lids lightly closed, nothing is prettier.

ticed as an actual living with the girls

1t being rather late and very warm. he
pulled off his coat while examining the
shoes, and laid it on the counter. soon
after this, having made the necessary
purchase, he put on Il coat. and started
for home with his bundle. Yesterday
morning In making his toilet he found he
was Ill the possession of another mans
coat, ana supposing it belonged to some one
at the store he went there to rectify the
mistake. The storekeeper recognized the
garment as his own, and at once exam
lned the pockets, from one of which he
drew forth 800 in currency that he had
placed there on the evening previous pre-
paratory to starting for home. He had
missed the coat, and the money; but had
no idea where they were until they were
brought into the store by Mr. Irby, who
is not only an honest man, but one with
little curiosity. If ladies wore such gar
ments, the question is would the con-
