Photography in Advertising.
photographer here who does great lot
of the illustrating work for big New York
advertising firms is an adroit and versatile
genius. He is considered the star of all the
before and after" artists, and he has
earned his reputation.
Not long ago the writer as a special
mark of favor. was permitted to look at his
studio" while the advertisers photogra-
pher went through an average mornings
work. An exceedingly pretty young woman
was the first subject. She was to be pic
tured in the familiar before and after
style, to advertise new remedy for the
skin
The photographer himself made up" her
face and when he got through with the
camefs hair brushes the young womans
countenance was sight. He took the
latter" photographs OF her hrst. thus
showing her as young woman with
smooth. faultless skin; round. weli-hlled
neck and so on. Then he went al her face
with the makeup" articles, and changed
her countenance into a veritaoie map Oh
blotches and pimples and lines and wrinkles
When he had finished and the young wo-
man caught sight of herself In the glass
she let out little involuntary scream
"Oh, you'll be all right after you use our

and he took a number of views OF her III
her capacity as before taking.
The same young woman posed Tor gar

that was not doing its work properly. and
after that, portrayal OF stocking neid

be advertised. For the first picture the
Young woman had on rather slouchy pair
of low shoes, with which she had come pro-

cotton stockings were wrinkled and hang

For the after using-ours picture. how

biilowy lacey underskirt, silk open-work
stockings and fancy high-heeled shoes, and
the stockings chung with a fine and APP
pealing snugness, as matter OF course
thus illustrating the superior excellence of
the new garter.
Another pretty young woman was then
called in to pose for some pictures to H.

posed standing wearily over an ironing
board. holding out and gazing disgustedly
at fra zzled and soiled shirt bosom.
Ten minutes later she feappeared, look

waist, all of the Imitation shine taken OF

was then posed in an attitude of keen de-

Then a couple of babies, twins, came
along They were to be used to illustrate
the advertising of new baby's food about
to be marketed. The photographer said
that he'd had tremendous difficulty In get
ting hold of just the right pair OF twins,
and had sent commissioners to range the
whole East Side before he had got the twins
he wanted. They were twin boys. just a
year old. One of them was in a fat and
hourishing state of health, but the, other
twin had just emerged from some sort of
infantile complaint, and was thin and drawn
and OF poor color.
But, aside from the difference In their con-
dstion Of health, the twins looked precisely
alike. The unprosperous-looking baby wore
a BETTING expression of acute gloom while
he was being photographed for the before
