party has certain drawbacks which mar its
pleasures. Chief among them is the attention
which it receives from the street boys. In some
mysterious way the intelligence Of the trolley
partys progress is spread for many blocks
ahead along its route. Even before the brilliant
illumination Of colored electric lghts-without
which it would be impossible to have a trolley
party-becomcs visible in the distance, the side
walks are lined with urchins. The conventional
proceeding among individuals Is to maintain
and then to utter the most terrific whoops and
cries, accompanying them with appropriate
dances and sometimes with threatening gcst
ures suggestive Of stOne-throwng. The line
along the curb being nearly continuous In some
districts there are no appreciable pauses in the
uproar and there are those who assert that a
visit to the traditional boiler factory would
answer every purpose just as well, so far
noise is concerned. and would involve less dan

The old saying that photographs do not lie"
must go to Join the growing host of exploded
notions 1t may have been true when photog-
raphy was new and undeveloped. but the fact
remains that at tht present time photographs
may be and are made to lie with great frequency
and facility. The methods by which this result
is accomplished are more various and extensive
than most persons suspect Retouching in its
simplest form such as smoothing out deficiencies
in the complexion is well known to everybody,
but it is not so generally understood that even the
shape Of the features may be altered by skiful
work with the negative. Lines Of figure are also
frequently changed. The writer has seen and
compared the original proof and the finished pct-
IRE of a Well-known actress, famous for her
beauty. In the proof hollows appear in the neck,
ard the lines of the shoulders. though graceful
leave something still to be desired In the way of
perfect roundness and symmetry. The finished
photograph shows a transformation. The hcllows
are gone, and the irregularities of the shoulder
lines have become curves Of perfect beauty. 1t
IS a lie, doubtless but pleasing and satisfactory
one
So much for the results Of Cetouching. But
there are tricks of posing which pervert the
truth just as completely. BY throwing an OBJ
tect or part O: an object far into the fore
ground or background that it is out OF focus, 1t
may be made to appear Of a size wholly different
from its real proportions. The most familiar in
stance OF this trick is seen In the pictures Of
wonderful catches Of fish. The honest fisher
man holds the string out at arms length In
front Of his body, so that compared with him
SELF his trophies appear huge. Cne-pound
trout passes itself off gayly as a FOUNDER
and other varieties gain in apparent size in the
came satisfactory ratio.
When professional athletes strong men or
prize fighters come before the camera the same
focusing device is employed. Hercules throws
out his arms folded wei in front of his chest,
and in the picture the development OF his bl-
ceps is almost terrifying in its proportions. If
he desires to give prominence to the muscles OF
his shoulders and upper back, he stands side
wise so as to bring them nearest the lens, and
by mannuvring and posing little any part OF
the body which it is desired to emphasize may be
made to appear well developed.

jority of those who really intend to 20

but those who are going anyway from this
