Among those attending the conven-
ton may be noticed large number of
ladies, all Of whom take a deep in
terest in the school of instruction.
Many of these are wives Of members;
others are employed in galleries, and
several own and manage galleries
themselves. OF this latter class is
Mrs Marie Canaan, of Brainerd, and
Miss L. M. Rossitter, of st. Ansgar, 10.
Both of these ladies have exhibits of
their work in the exhibit hall, photo
graphs which receive warm common
dation from ALL There is something
about photography peculiarly adapted
to the fair sex; they have a better con-
ception of art and posing than the av-
erage man, and in that most difficult
of tasks, taking a picture of the

and successful Thus is womans
sphere ever widening.
Speaking about photographing
babies, one of the members of the as
ISOLATION rectted a little experience he
had recently: A young couple the
proud parents of twins, brought their
year-old darling.s into his studio, ''to
be took" and, of course, they wanted
them taken together. He arranged
his accessories. secured the proper
focus with his camera, and everything
went lovely until he was about to

a duet: Finally the parents soothed
them, but as the photographer was

story-teller; II danced, played on the
mouth organ and cut up all sorts of
antics to rivet their attention, and all
this time l was obliged to keep a
pleasant smile ON my face and tell the
mother what precious darlings thew
were. Finally 1 said that the babies
would look red in the photograph and

If the association had more such
hustlers as H. G. Rinkel, of Lake civ
II II would be better off. Rinkel came un
sunday to assist in arranging the ey-
hb1tion room and it's displays. He is
only tWenty-four years of age AMI
mas been in the Photographic profess
SION for only four years, but his own
display OF work shows some as fine
poses as can be seen in the hall.
Another wonder in the profession Is
