Valuable Hints for the Camera Girl
Which Viii Assist Her in Her Work

a chosen distance, say ten, fifteen OF
twenty feet, and maintain that distance
from the object.
Decide on your distance. keep your
camera so adjusted. and practise will
0 make you perfect in knowing
when your instrument is situated At
that distance from the object TO be
photographed. Some plates nay be
spoiled just at first. but after a few
days o should have no trouble.
Select a distance which will give an
image Of the object in acceptable
dimensions, and do not vary the focus
unless there is good reason for doing
so.
With children playing on the sands
and necessarily changing position and
attitude. it is out of the question to
alter the focus with every movement
unless a reflex camera be employed,
and it should not be attempted.
So many people fail more or less
when photographing near objects with
a hand camera focusing by scale, be-
cause they do not trouble TO master
the difficulty of accurately estimating
distances.
In photographing sandy stretches
aim to have some central object in
you picture. Expose for this, and adj
nit just sufficient water and sky to
make an attractive background.
Seaside subjects, besides being
bathed in an intense light, reflect a
wonderful array of colors, both vivid
and subtle, and the loss of these in the
photograph robs it of much of its in
terest. In the ordinary processes of
photography, color, a s such, is out of
the question. but it is possible to rem
der colors in their relative intensities
to a large extent by the use of ortho-
chromatic plates and the adoption OF
certain precautions.
For instance, yellow is a bright
color and should be bright in print
But yellow is rendered black, or nearly

Careful Distinction Between
Friendliness and In
timacy.

u INDNESS among %neighbors is a
real virtue and not a rare inc.
either. Multitudes of women who do
not pretend to be philanthropists, who
scarcely claim a feeling of charity for
the, world at large, who are not actu-
ated by a Christian sense, of duty even
such will cheerfully sacrifice them
selves for their neighbors oftentimes.
This spirit of neighborliness is one of
the most beautiful traits in humanity.
Deplorable is the community and de-
spisable is the woman lacking this un-
selfish sense-the kinship of proximity.
Yet kindness is not all of it. 1t is
only one of the graces of the ideal
neighbor. One may be the embodiment
of helpfulness and generosity and spoil
it all by inq~uisitiveness, by a tattling
tongue, or by setting herself up as com
munity critic.
There are so MANY who cannot be
friendly without becoming familiar. and
SO many more who cannot be on
equally good terms with all their neigh
bors at the same time. Their kindli-
ness runs in streaks and spurts.
Being a neighbor is a fine art, says a
contributor to the Circle Magazine.
There are fine lines of distinction to be
made n observed. A readiness to
help on the part of one should be gra-
ciously accepted but never imposed up
on; sympathy is not to be expected for
every trife; friendliness does not mean
intimacy; candor and sincerity do not
necessitate condolences or the revelation
of private matters; nor does proximity
give one the right to comment upon
others affairs-~"to speak her mind" on
all occasions. Every woman of sense
and judgment knows the need of a fine
reserve.
1t is the lack of this that brings on
our neighborly woes. So seldom, in

TO PROTECT A TABLE TOP

once Scared nothing will remove it but
doing over the top of the table.
1t is important. therefore, even when
a cloth is used, to have a protection for
the table. The one ordinarily used is a
thick piece of felt or canton flannel,
that can go in the wash tub.
A substitute that is found to meet all
these objections is a folding table pro-
lection of asbestos. made up on a light
wood frame. These are arranged in
sections, or semicircles as a table is
round or square. For the former the
asbestos is made in two half circles,
with segments that fold back on one
another, SO that they can be slowed
easily in a sideboard drawer.

SOME AUTHORS WHO ART ARTISTS,

took to story writing, spent a couple of
years studying painting in Paris. One
recalls. in addition to Mr.. Forman, a
number of well-known writer's who
handle both the pen and the brush.
There is the author of 1.-THE Martyrdom
of an Empress" whose delicate water
color drawings may be seen repro
duced in her books. There is humorous
Rose O'Neil, an American in high favor
with Parisians, and member of the
Societe des Beaux Arts, whose novel.
1.-THE Lady in the White Veil,' APP
peared this spring simultaneously with
another. Peter, Peter of which she
was the illustrator. There is. of course,
Howard Pyle. whose name in this
double connection is eloquent. There
is the gifted Southerner, Amelie Rives,
the author of "A Golden Rose" and the
'Quick or the Dead whom painters
have urged to give herself entirely
over to art, n the Prince Troubetz-
koy, her husband, whose distinction as
a painter of portraits and as a sculp-
tor is international, and whose novels
also are beginning to be widely known.
Apparently word painting and color
painting have not ceased from those
close relations which Philip Gilbert
Hamerton has pointed out of them.

No Doubt That Fixed Focus Is

THESE are the days when cameras

these places are infested with the

There is no doubt that the fixed focus
camera is the best for the seashore. for
very few amateurs can gauge distances
correctly. and so it often happens that
many exposures are spoiled.
The seaside is the place where fine
and rapid lenses and ultra-rapid plates
do not always justify themselves. for
the light is SO strong that the relative

cheap lens is a positive safeguard. and
a plate of medium rapidity is all that
is wanted.

guarded themselves better against

of preparing onions for use will be
found useful:
Boiled Onions.
Peel onions under cold water and
they will not bring tears to the
eyes. They then should be put in
rapidly boiling water, and this
changed after the first five minutes
of cooking; then put in fresh boil
ing water, salt added, and cooked
for from half an hour to forty min
utes. If onions are not covered
when boiling the odor will be less
noticeable. Serve boiled onions with
parsley butter, or after draining
cover with milk; add butter, pepper
and salt and let boil up once before
serving.
Onions In Cream
Use boiled seasoned onions tender
but not broken. Drain well, pour
over each pint Of small onions one
cupful of cream, let cream scald,
season with salt and pepper and
serve hot. May be sprinkled with
a little minced parsley.
Boiled onions may be served with
any hot sauce-tomato, brown,
mushroom, etc.
Bordeaux Onions.
Peel six or eight small onions and
parboil them for fifteen minutes in
sailed water. Put two tablespoon
fuls of butter In a saucepan or a
baking dish, with n tablespoonful
Of chopped parsley and one table,
spoonful of chopped celery, one
Glove, one-half bay leaf, one-quarter
of a cupful of claret, one cupful of

pepper and salt. Put the onions in
this, cover and let cook very gently
for half an hour, or until tender.
Remove bay leaf and serve with the
sauce.

onions sliced and fresh tomatoes
