caused me to become interested in...photo-
graphy. The air is so clear that distance
seems an impossibility. and the climate
is SO delightful that you want to live out

First, l went to a photographer and
learned all l could about the mechani-
| cal part of it. 1 was already familiar with
lights, shadows, time exposures, effects
and other details.
When 1 felt that / was prepared to
take up the profession l selected New
York as the field.
ITO my surprise I learned that there
was not one woman photographer there.
There are two others now. l soon found
also that 1 filed a long felt want. I went
| to peoples homes and took their pictures.
Usually they would val me to take
a number of interior views and l found
my work quite profitable.
There was novelty in a photographer

"You must be able to lose sight of color,
for color has nothing to do with a black
and white photograph. Many faces are
called pretty that lay their claim 10 the
title entirely to exquisite coloring-to the
sheen of the hair, the light in the eyes,
the blending of pink and white in the
complexion.
Yes. I have been very successful I
have lone far better than 1 expected,
which shows tina I did not come until
I was needed. l should say that. it is a
business that any woman with artistic
taste would find pleasant and profit
able"
Many of the new black hats are trim
med partly with wide black edging, says
1.-THE Millinery Trade Review One in
rice straw has two rows of this lace
plated on to the upper side of the prim.
1t has one of the new high straight
crowns. about which is folded a broad
band of black velvet fastened by a jet
slide; surmounting this, rising still higher
than the crown, is a large bunch of glob-
ular roses in several shades of pink. Hats
of cream lace on a foundation of wired
tulle will be very Fashionable this season.
Their effect is improved by sewing there
on rows of fancy Tuscan braid with an
interval of an inch between each braid.
A very stylish hat of this sort mas io1
trimming merely a large dull gold buckle
securing the foot of a fan-shaped aigrette
of the lace placed slightly on one side
of the high crown. Lace wells are to be
preferred to tulle this year, and the new
selections include wells of he most ex-
pensive kinds of lace, besides admirable
limitations of the same. They are often
used ITO drape round the brims of hats
a style that will be affected by those who
consider the lace over the face unbecom-
ing. Long scarfs in net, with designs in
Escurial, are now being converted into
decorations for hats; one end lies along
the brim. and the remainder of the scarf
is worn twisted once round the throat.
There should be an abundance of light
in the living rooms, for light is d pro-
moter of health and cheerful spirits,
says the Boston True Flag, There
should be plenty of fresh air at all times,
and the water and drainage should re-
ceive the greatest care. AS the most i'm
questionable stage of life is that OF
youth, SO should the home be made most
attractive in all it's departments of its
daily running to the child life growing
up and developing within its walls. Not
only should the home be well furnished.
but it should be decorated as we'll in the

ture of the mother spirit, who should be
the chief light and ornament of every
home. Harsh and glazing combinations
of shade and color effect should be al
ways avoided, and the beauty loving ma
ture of the child should be appealed to
and developed as carefully as the physi-
cal. The cooking SHOULD be beyond crit
icism in point of nutritive value and cor
rect accomplishment, and the serving
should match the cooking. Absolute
cleanliness should be emphasized in every
department of the household. The INTEL
ligent, careful director of a smoothly
running home is a woman who is a pow

influence over the destiny of the world.
Those who supply materials and the
milliners themselves lave all been equal

with lightning rapidity, says the Mil
linery Trade Review" Undoubtedly ole
of the most important of these later in
novations is the great use now made of
lace, as it means the Introduction of a
new element where the was already so
many. All sorts of lace are considered
applicable. Charming capotes are made
of Irish point, generally trimmed with
roses and a bow Of velvet or ribbon,
Mechlin, Duchesse and needle point,
either white or cream; black Chantilly,
valenciennes edging, and narrow bead
ings of guipure for sewing on straw or to
combine with straw braids, are in partic-
ular request. On one model / noted the
use of a novelty, namely, black Valen-
ciennes. The shape was of pink straw, and
between each band of straw forming the
brim was sewn a row of the black edging
A large bunch of roses occupied the front
of the hat. behind which was a fan ar
rangement of black Chantilly.
One of the smartest types of hat is
covered on brim. inside and out, and to
the tip-top of the crown, with rows on
rows Of lace. Just about June the lace
hat, which in Paris is called the .sRox-
ane." will begin to make its influence
