Hughes, a London Photographer,
to Blenheim- Takes Pictures Of
woodstock.

If you do not have your own private
photographer, these days. you must get
yourself down as belonging TO the class
Of the nobOdies. In London you can
not 60 in the Bradley-Martin set. IN
Boston you would be barred out OF the
Mrs. Jack" Gardner clique and even
in Paris, where everything with money
goes you could not join the set
headed by the late Inflated Duchess
d'Alencon, unless you could boldly ana
truthfully refer TO my own private
photographer. -
Miss Hughes. who far many years
has been a photographer OF the select
set in London, was recently asked TO
accent the position Of private photoS-.
rapher 10 Her Grace, the Duchess OF
Marlborough. She departed from Lon
don. carrying with her severa! trunks
and boxes full OF cameras, wet aad dry
plates. sensitized linen and all the re-
cent paraphernalia Of the Photographic
art.
When she arrived at Blenheim she
took her place in the suite or ladies'
maintained by the Duchess, and is no"
in close attention upon the little court
of Woodstock, ready to take pictures
whenever requested. She photographs
the Duchess in her new gowns ana
perpetuated the eyer-changlng scenes
of WoodstCck-those wonderful chang
ing forests that were the delight OF
Queen Anne.
When off duty, she perfects herself
in her profession and learns whatever
new there may be to learn. She takes
all Photographic magazines, reads all
facts about cameras, and is even posteo
upon the advertisements pertaining 10
these: she is, in short, queen OF her
craft.
To maintain ones own private pho-
t0grapher. does not mean that one mas
deserted the town photographer. He
ent7rprising man, has his glass cases
filed with pictures of celebrities. as OF
yOre and all leaders of society go 10
him to have their pictures taken reg
ularly. This they do as a matter OF
duty TO themselves, to their family
and To their friends His business IN
no way touches that Of the private
Photographer, and as he never sees
the work OF The latter ii is doubtful
if he knows such parsonage exists.
A private photographer, after you
have employed one. becomes a neces-
sary luxury; it is like keeping a car
riagc horse, or owning a bicycle-you
do not know how you ever did without
il.
At this time of the year the private
photographer goes TO your country
place and takes pictures Of it-inside
and out. He sends them to your town
house for YOU TO look them over II
the sea has made ravishes in your
country grounds You notice il in the
photograph and can send word TO have
repairs made. If the house is in poor
condition the tell-talc photograph shows
it uD and Won know. before you get to
the country. Just what Won are TO find.
I'm matters of family interest the pri-
vate photographer is Of the utmost I'M
pCrtance. The post is generally Occu-
pied by woman. and her duty is 10
take pictures Of all important scenes.
