STRANGE, BUT TRUE.
Pretty Women Seldom Make Hand.

Pretty Women Seldom Make Hand.
come Pictures.
1T is q curious fact" said an expert
enced New Orleans photographer that
it isn't the handsomest women who
make the handsOmest pictures. III
venture the assertion that nine-tenths
Of the women who are noted for their
beauty are poor subjects for the cam
era, and 1t Is undeniable that the more
striking and attractive photos are those
Of people who seem plain and insignifi-
cant In life.
why IL It? Well, q beauty nearly
always owes her charm to something
beyond reach Of the lens-to her com
plexion. her hair or the vivacity Of her
expression. Very few such women
have regular features, and when they
are reproduced in plain black and
white they are at a great disadvantage.
Their photographs are generally unsat-
lsfactory and are really not correct like
nesses. On the other hand. a woman
who is regarded as homely may have
singularly perfect lines. but attracts nc
attention through lack of animation OF
color. I'll cite you a queer instance.
"A dozen or SO years ago Maude
Branscombe was the most popular
model In the United States for photo

was as a nun. and her pictured face

over her loveliness, but the real Miss
Branscombe, whom had the pleasure
Of knowing, was a demure. pale little
woman who would never in the world
attract the slightest attention in q
crowd. Without a doubt she was pass
ed unnoticed BY many a person whs
treasured her portrait as a marvel

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

No woman with tight shoes en-
Joys a talk about ohiropodists.
The average girl would rather
hear about a man with a past than
a future.
With all her faults Eve never
was accused of depnviug Adam of

No matter what the season is it
always seem to a man that wome n

The most intellectual woman gets
down to the level of fool easier
than she stays up where she ought
to.
If women were Independent in
money matters men would be lot
less conceited about how highly
their devotion is valued.
A man never appreciates the de-
signation of the hour when his
wife stands at the head of the
stairs at pa. m. and says: TITS
pretty time of night, etc"
If man understood how women
ranked them in Importance with

Besides the speeches of Mr.. Huling
and the conventions temporary Chair
man. Hon. W. s. Kerr brief speeches
were made by Senator Hanna, Senator
Foraker and Governor Bushnell. All
the speakers pleaded for harmony. and
the affair seemed political love feast.
While harmony was the key note of all
the speeches at the convention, some of
the addresses delivered at the hotels
sounded notes of bitterness and defiance.
Tonight the leaders spent their time in
conferences and contests that were not
