A Photograph Which He Wanted For All
His Frieuds.

The following may be of interest to
amateur photographers. When asked how
facial expression can enter into tho photo
graph Of person whose face is naturally

is always some subject which will animate
his soul and manifest itself in facial ex
preston. When that one thing Is found,
the subject will be at his best, and then
the photographers must take his picture. Z"
Mr.. Sarony related an incident which
illustrated this point. Wilkie Collins Wis

was entirely cxpressionless Sarony en-
gagged him in conversation. Suddenly

daughters how to play. "Of course they
are bound to gamble and they might rs
well play well AS badly" argued their
