was Gladstone. If you are skeptical

FACIAL ~AsYMMETRY.
A Principal Obstacle to Successful Por-

A Principal Obstacle to Successful Por-

zone of the principal obstacles in
the way of successful portrait photog-
raphy," said an old-time local expert,
''is the asymmetry of the average hui
man face. The features Of nfnety-nine
people out Of a hundred are undeni-
ably asymmetrical-in other words the
right and left sides are different in
size, shape and general contour. We
don't notice this variation unless our
attention is attracted to 1t. but it is
there all the same. and for some rea-
son that I am not able to explain it Is
generally emphasized by the camera.
MY goodness! my face is all crooked
in that pictured is a comment that is
frequently heard when ladies examine
proofs. They are generally told that
the effect is due to the lighting in the
print. and that 1t won't be noticeable
whom the photograph is finished. AS
a matter Of fact. the retoucher can
work wonders in removing the evil
dences of asymmetry. He can lift the
corner of an eye, depress the corner Of
q mouth, soften the angle Of a jaw,
and make both sides Of the face toll
erably fair mates without losing the
likeness. What I say applies, of course,
to full-face pictures only, for when the
head is turned slightly the deviations
are scarcely ever d%iscernible. Nor does
the rule hold good invariably. even
with the front faces. Odd as 1t may
seem. some people owe their charm of
feature almost altogether to the fact
Of asymmetry. One Of my patrons is a
bewitching pretty little lady, yet the
sides Of her face are as different as IL
they belonged to total strangers. One
eye is oblique. while the other is
straight; her nostrils are not at all on,
q line. and her mouth has a most ex-
traordinary twist. From these details
you would suppose that she was moth

bles:
1T should be clearly understood
that the present halt in the vicinity

should be borne in mind that we are
