time l was as well equipped with mechanical ap-
planes as I am today. I had the best of cam
eras and lenses, but 1 did not have experience.
When I got so that I could make portrait that
looked right l began to have hope. This IS the
picture that convinced me that | could make
portraits"
Here the photographer showed the portrait
of young girl which would reflect credit upon
her work as g photographer, even today.
"That decided me. I tried to make other
portraits equally good, and 1 succeeded. Then
a friend who my earlier work asked me to
make portrait of a child. That was my first

ply as a business and made this studio in my

over that difficulty, only to find that the images
l did get were far from being satisfactory. This
represents one of the stages"
Here Mrs. Price showed one of those anna
teur photographs everybody has seen. 1t was
ambitious attempt at artistic lighting. 1t
showed one side of the sitters face dead white
and the other side smothered in the nlackness
of eternal night.

GOOD FIELD FOR WOMEN

DO 1 think women make good photogra-
pliers Indeed do. They are patient enough
to study their subjects, and that means pros
pect of success with difficult sitters But I've
nothing against the men. Much of what know
I owe to the friendly interest of professional
photographers who were willing to correct my
errors and suggest improvements IN my work.
They have aided me unselfshly, and to them I
owe a great deal of my success.
Il believe thft there is a field for women
in photography. Those who have patience and
talent viii occupy it. They viii not interfere
with the men who are IN the work. Readers of
the monthly magazines see that the number of
women furnishing photographs worthy of high
class reproduction IS increasing all the time.
Woman should, and undoubtedly will have her
success in the field of hild-portraiture, but the
temperament of the woman who attempts this
work must be suited to the task"
Mrs. Prices experiments, 1t must be said
have not been along the lines of most of the
amateurs who have become professional pho
tographers. Her outfit has been of the profes-
sional type from the day of discarding the So
cent camera with which she began her work
She has lost sight of no department of her bust
ness She has studied the mechanical and scien-
tifc sides of 1t thoroughly, al with a view to
making them do all they can to bring out the
artistic side which she has been so successful
In presenting. She Is convinced that mechanical
equipment has much to do with insuring the
right sort of results. She develops her own neg
atives and prints her own pictures She is pre-
pared TO do this because her plant Is so con-
veniently arranged and perfectly equipped as to
guarantee perfect work IN all processes.

"To work with children is my chief delight
I am able to get their confidence play games
with them. We have all sorts of make-believe
parties, and when we are on the right sort of
terms / begin my work, and ] get pictures that
parents approve of. The picture of the little
girl with cake I think is particularly good
The caption Is literal. She coyly asked me if
l would have a piece of her cake, and l was
ready for the feetirg expression. The picture
of the child with the toys was equally fortunate.
He was really at play when it was made. His
expression tells what pleasure he was expert

A STAG PARTY

One of the most recherche social events of the season was the Bach elors' social given hy Mir. Robert Roy at his apartments on Sherman avenue last Saturday evening. Neat printed invitations had been issued and in response thereto about six teen of the sans souci representa- lives of the ideal life" assemb bled in response thereto, together with few of their brothers of meeker tendencies-in other words, few married men. The history of Per sia recounts the fact that when the ancient Persians assemble around the festal board they bound and sat at convenient intervals certain captives of inferior races in order that the guests, during the solem- mites of the occasion might reflect with qualification and profit upon the diff. However, all the bach -lors had a mighty good timr play rng "solo" d-and-other games
 MT, Roy was assisted in the re- ,eiving line by Spot" Ferguson. vho was resplendent in a new col, lar, silk tie and fur coat cut with sheath skirt effect. After midnight An elegant repast was served, to which the following guests did full ustice:
 Wm. Rittenhouse, John Hill, L. ;. Williams, Hugo Victor. Ross Barnard, Frank Shea, Geo. Roun- seville, John Casad, Dick Connors 0. H. Preysz, Wm. Souder, Dr. Adams of Flagstaff. Dr. Rounse- vile. NJ. J. Rounseville, R. s. Tee pie and Earl Nordyke.
 At the close it was una nimously carried that there is only one Rot Roy, and may he live long.
