Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston.

Ladies' Home Journal, on what a
Woman Can Do with a Camera" tell
ing the requisites for artistic and Imam
elal success In the pusuits of photogra-
ply as a profession. 1T is profess
slon," she strongly contends, that
should appeal particularly to women,
and In 1t there are great opportunities
FOR t good-paying buslness-but only
under very well-dehned conditions
The prime requlsltes-as summed up In
my mind after long experience and
ihought-are these: The woman who
makes photography profitable must
have, as to personal qualities, good
common sense. unlimited patience to
carry her through endless failures,
equally unlimited tact, good taste, Il
quick eye, talent for detail, and a
genius for hard work. In addition, she
meets training. experience, some CAPT
tai and field to exploit This may
seem, at first glance, an appalling list,
but it is incomplete rather than exag-
serated; although to- an energetic, am
bilious woman. with even ordinary OPP
portunities, success is always possible.
and hard, intelligent and conscientious
work seldom fails to develop small be
ginnings into large results.
"Good work should command good
prices, and the wise woman will place
a paying value upon her best efforts.
1t is a mistaken business policy to try
aud build up trade by doing something
badly cheaper than somebody else. As
TO your personal attitude, be business
like In all your methods; cultivate tact.
an afrable manner, and an unfailins
courtesy. 1t costs nothing but a lit
tie self-control and determination to
be patient and good-natured under
most circumstances. A pleasant, OBJ
liglng and business-like bearing will
often prove the most important part Of
clever woman's capital"
