traits. which require Il good deal of eX'
periencc and technical knowledge. In
the gallery of an artist one usually
finds that the studio is provided with
a skylight. The amateur is rarely able
to command one. However. in Il recent
issue The Mechanic Arts Magazine
made some excellent suggestions on
this point.
| 1t was recommended that an ordi-
nary side window be shaded up to a
height of about five feet from the floor
hy means of bookbinders' board. This
can be cut to fit the window casing. In
front of the binders board should be
hung cambria, of whatever hue, gray
or black is preferred for IA background.
Some subjects require Il light one and
some a dark one. Hence the material
should be hung in such way that it
can be changed readily. In order to
get good supply of light from above
a rejecting screen is provided. 1t
should consist of white cloth-a sheet,
for instance. beginning at a distance
of eighteen inches from the side wall.
|
ened to the ceiling. The lower edge
OF the cloth should be stitfencd with Il
strip of wood, like sail. Then the
screen ought to be inclined away from
the window at an angle of about 10
degrees. Another screen. hung from
the ceiling or mounted on feet at one
side of the sitter, out of range of the
camera, will assist in lighting one side
of the face more than the other in Il
full face picture and in illuminating
the face for Il profile view. The mag
azine here referred to goes on to say:
'Where the photograph is to be a
full-length figure or three-quarter full
length, care must be exercised that the
upper part of the subject is not more
strongly lighted than the drapcries
nearer the floor. 1t is WELL on this ac-
count, to spread on the floor a white
sheet or n number of newspapers. so
that the light may he reflected upward
against the lower part of the figure.
"Whcre a person has light curly or
fluffy hair it is best To illuminate the
hair brilliantly hy setting the top
screen about as shown in the iluStra-
/ ton and then arrange the side screen
! to reflect light on TIE face in an up-
ward direction. so that as far as poSSi-
| bic its stronger shadows may he soft

ARE WE SLAVES TO CHILDREN

~ OMERODY has said recently that
- Americans are really in bondage
~ to their children. and that what
was needed more than anything else in
this country was a ''revo.t of the
parent" and complete downfall of the
tyrant.
This wise observer also remarked
that what made the American child so
thoroughly disagrceable was the sys-
TEN of indulgence pracii> ed by parents,
beginning in the cradle.
1t is not the province of the writer to
discuss the pro ard con of the question.
but to re'ate an incident which perhaps
bears directly on the subject. The
other day the cars on Il suburban train
were filed to overlooking. Men and
women We're standing in the aislcS un-
able TO get seats, and were joStled 70
and fro by the motion of the train.
which was flying swiftly toward town.
One seat was occupied by Il woman aud
2-ytar-old baby. who insisted on
standing up and looking out of the
window. He would not allow his mann
ma to sit UP close to him and give some
one a seat beside her. No. The little
fellow insisted on occupying one-half
of the seat, and in making mamma
keep the other.
Elderly women Sazed at the seat
longnsly, but that made no difference
to the fond parent King Baby must
have his way. He had minated In Il
forcible manner that mamma was not
to sit near him. and no matter how
many old peap,e were standing. she
was a slave to the young tyrant.
But when the conductor came along
there WAS change. Baby's seat had
not been paid for, and he had no right
to it,
please move along, madam, and let
this lady sir down."
Mamma had to move up close to
King Baby. leaving ample room for Il
tired Old woman to sit down. for his
tiny feet only took few inches of
space. But he was little crowded, so
he turned round and. seeing the sitlla-
ton. began to howl. 1t lasted only Il
minute, though mamma looked at the
woman beside her as if she We're q
decided lnter,oler.
Who wonders that the American
child becomes a tyrant and that parents
fear him?
