THOSE BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS
Any in stock s-LOok Elm over and
Consider what the Camera
Man Says.

Brides are probably just as beautiful now
as ever they were, but they are not nearly
so anxious to record their post -nuptia
loneliness by means OF photographs. Most
photographers say they are glad Of It.
Il never did enjoy taking the pictures
Of brides" said a Broadway photoRra-
pher. quoted by the New York Times. Like
all the rest of the world, / love the dear
creatures; but when It comes down to four
dollars-a-dozen commercialism they do not
satisfy my artistic instincts. Very few
brides take a good picture. Somehow their
toys are not becoming. A bride is supposed
to look superlatively lovely on her wedding
day, but II anybody ever dared to tell the
truth on the subject, that superstition
would soon be exploded and the sweet
things would realize that instead OF looking
their best on that occasion most Of thom
are apt to look their worst. 1t islthe same
way when they come to be photographed
in their wedding finery. They are either
too pale or too red and they have a neryi
Gus, anxious expression that robs the face
OF all good lines for Photographic purposes.

cred herself really married until she had

with her, and he looked Just about as
foolish as she did. My Lord, the trouble
l have had posing brides and grooms
before the camera. Instead OF telling them
to look pleasant, I always felt like saying,
Don't look idiotic II you can possibly help
It, and then I would have to think up some
device to keep her from scrooging down
too close against his shoulder and to keep
him from responding with an equally in
appropriate embrace. But with all my
precautions ! never fully succeeded in. pre-
