NUDE BABIES GONE.
Clothesless Infants No Longer Face
the Camera.

Louisville, Dec n.-"What has become
o. the pictures of naked babies?" In
curry of photographers reveals the fact
that it no longer is the style 10 have the
youngsters photographed in a chilly look
ing china bowl or full.length on a fur
rug minus clothes Incidentally, it NAV
be mentioned that there are STYLES in
photography just as there are STYLES in
women's gowns.
The custom grew up some fifteen or
twenty years ago OF having the babv's
picture taken without clothes. and copies
were generally sent TO all the relatives
and friends, some of whom tucked the
cute little photographs away for years
and years
When a girl had grown into quite a
sood-sized young miss and visited her
kinspeopie they suddenly thought of the
lOng-forgotten picture, and then there
were bushes and embarrassments with
out number. Young men were invited TO
meet the charming young miss, and in
casually giancing through the family
album they often came across her pic
lure when she was a tiny baby.
