sic critic on her. fathers paper, the
Norristown (Pa.) Times. In times of
,dlscoura cement she received fresh in
spiration from the friendly counsels of
Nine. Lillian Nordiea. Several years
ago, at the Boston Conservatory of
Music, Miss Rennyson was eagerly and
faithfully practicing quavers and semi
quavers, and making ghostly sounds,
similar to the walls Of lost SOUL
which all beginners in vocal training
are obliged to go through, and Nine.
Nordica, visiting that institution and
struck by the quality Of the young
singers voice singled her out for spe-
icial praise and encouragement.
From that time Nordica has shown
"a special interest in Miss Rennyson's
career. She has heard her sing in
London and followed her with encour-
aging words to Paris. Now, whenever
.discoura cement threatens to invade
Miss Rennyson's artistic soul she gazes
on the picture of Nine. Nordica which
hangs over her piano, and gains renew
ed inspiration from one who has gain
ed laurels all over the world. Miss
Rennyson is especially suited in such
roles as Elsa, in .Lohengrfn," and Eliz-
abeth, in Tannhauser," the very kind
of roles that Nine. Nordica delights in.
Of course, her high. bell-like soprano
enables her to accomplish the brilliant
execution necessary for Desdemola,
the title role in "Tosca," Marguerite, in
Faust" and similar characters as well.
Day by day she is improving. and hopes
some day to attain a proud position
beside that of her friend Mime. Nor

pears to be good authority that Mrs.
George Gould is firing of her Fifth

get closer to the Hudson.
Mrs. Russell Sage has always had a
great fendness for whistling. AT re-

favorite kind of music that she rose

The same cannot be said of those in

The same cannot be said Of those in
which the sitter is constantly enJoined
to ..Iook pleasant" and ito think of
something nice" Such injunctions only
bring into prominence the thought of
an ordeal, and the best photos are
those which are obtained when the
mind is not brooding on the camera.
One successful woman photographer
requests her clients to take two or
three evening waists, and from these
she selects the one which best suits the
particular style of the sitter.
AS a rule, an evening waist OF a
white, cream, or light shade OF some
soft, diaphanous material gives the
best results.
White accentuates ample proper
lions, so that all who wish to look
Simmer than they really are should
choose a dark color of some material
with a dull surface.
Navy blue and dark gray are the
best colors to choose, as they appear
dark, but not heavy, in a photograph.
Red and dark green have a very
heavy appearance. Elderly ladies also
look best in rather dark colors.
Men generally make better sitters
than women do, for they are less self
conscious and adopt more natural
poses. They make fewer errors with
regard to choice of clothing, although
some fall into the vulgarity of being
photographed in evening dress.
A good photographer aims at giving
a mans portrait which is full of char
acter and strength, whereas in por-
traiture of women he aims at more
delicate handling.
Babies sometimes prove very diff
cult sitters. They should always be
accompanied by mother or nurse, and
that time of day should be chosen
when they are well fed and are re-
freshed by sleep.
If old enough to take notice OF what
they see, simple toy will prove suffi-
cient attraction. Other children
should not be set to watch the camera
for the mouse or bird which never
appears, as the expression produced
Is too intense, and the disappointment
is keen and demoralizing.
There is a superstition which says
that engaged couples who are photo
graphed together never get married.
Superstition is gradually dying down,
so that few would be kept back by an
old womans saying. There is, how
ever one thing which should keep en-
gagged couples from being photo
graphed together, and that is the
thought that If either or both should
marry some one else, the fewer tokens
there are of previous love affairs, the
greater is the chance of happiness in
the final choice.

a deep, shaped f1ounce with fine wire
or featherbone at the bottom. On this
deep f1ounce tiny gathered ruff1es or one
or more ruche-edged plaitings may be
mounted, and they may also be corded
or wired if desired. Any means is per-
nissible that will bring about the de-
sired flare to the lower part of the

HOW TO GET A
PERFECT PORTRAIT
What Wear and What When Being Photographed.

the reason fashion changes so quickly,
and a style of dress which is perfect at
one time soon becomes old-fashioned.
The preference is always given to pho
tographS which show the head and
shoulders only.
It should be left entirely to the pho
tographer to pose the head, for some
look best in profile, while half turn
suits others better.
The photographer should be quick to
note the different types Of faces and
so arrange the camera that no special
ly noticeable feature Is exaggerated.
The question Of hats must be settled
by individual taste, but as a general
rule no hat should be allowed except
ing large picture hats. which can be
arranged so as to give greater clearness
to the cut of the features.
Our most modish millinery Is voted
hideous in a few years time, but the
picture hat is with US always. If hat
is worn, and the hands appear in the
photograph, they should be gloved, and
gloves of dark suede present the best
appearance.
The style of hairdressing should be
becoming and just what is usually
worn. 1t is only necessary to dress the
hair with a little more care than usual,
but the adoption of an elaborate
couture which is not usually worn does
not give pleasing results.
1t is we'll to be caught unawares, for
If the sitter knows at which particular
instant the shutter moves there is an
unconscious bracing up to look ones
best, which results in stony stare or
a pugnacious expression.
Some photographers have the art OF
distracting the attention of the sit
tiers from the operations. and the re-
sulting photographs are good.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

Now that Blanche Lady Rosslyn has
confirmed the report that she will visit
the st. Louis exhibition, and therefore
take in the Newport season, there will
be lots of side play among ambitious
women here to have the widow Of the
fourth Lord Rosslyn as a guest. Her
friendship means the open door in Lon
don and in Paris. Lady Rosslyn's con-
versational powers would win her dis
tinction anywhere, but she is decidedly
handsome and SO youthful looking that
she would never be taken for grand
mother by those who do not know her
as the mother of Lady Warwick, Lady
Algernon Gordon-Lennox-the smart
est woman in London-the Duchess of
Sutherland, Lady Westmoreland and
Lady Angela Forbes. Her eldest son,
the present Lord Rosslyn, is head of an
ancient Scotch family.
With the Easter holiday in sight, the
millinery stores are poisoning with
many fancy creations. In these, again,
is noticeable the sovereignty of straw,
for, while in some instances the brim
is made Of flowers and likewise the
summit of the crown, the shape is
banded with fancy straw, describing
in one instance a completely fiat strip
of wheat ears, and in another, upon a
background of net, a lace pattern exc
cuted in gold colored straw. In those
cases where a long veil is used the ap
plication of straw to the edge makes a
still more novel finish to the veil than
bordering of lace. A charmingly SIM
pie and serXiceable hat of cream chip,
with band Of pink roses and satin
rosette to match. is shown in many
stores.
That one-tirne aristocratic quarter,
North washington square, is falling
into what an eminent statesman de-
scribed as innocuous desuetude, and
even John G. Milburn's settlement in
the neighborhood close by Mayor Nc
Clellan will not bring back it's old pres
tige. The Kelleys have gone, and now
comes a deserter that amazes the resi-
dents who have chung to the spot so
many years-Miss Leary. This unos-
tentatious philanthropist. who never
wearies of doing good, has given up
her Washington square home and is to

A PORTRAIT which shall be per-
~ feet at all times should be the
object of every sitter, and to this end
a bright day which is not too sunny
should be chosen.
This is not such an important detail
as it used to be in the past, for there
are very few studios in which the cleo
trio light is not installed, so that most
photographers are Independent Of at
mospheric conditions.
The bodily and mental condition Of
the sitters is important. 1t Is best TO
select the time when the body Is In
good health and the mind is at ease,
for only under such conditions can a
pleasing expression be obtained.
A leisurely walk to the studio with
ample time to make the necessary
toilet prevents the intense expression
which follows hurry and hustle. If an
appointment is made, it must be
punctually kept, so that operator ana
sitter may meet on good terms.
The pose should be natural, but 1t Is
generally well to accept suggestions
from q photographer who Is an artist.
One sitter, short time ago, followed
the advice of the natural pose, and sat
down on the edge of deck chair with
the fore arms resting on the knees and
the hands hanging down, and the face
in the same plane as the hands. The
result was that hands and feet and face
were not properly in focus and assumed
enormous proportions.
A short person appears to greater
advantage when standing, whereas a
very tall person looks better when sit
ting down. Graually the full-length
style of photo is becoming obsolete. for
