she surprised the nuns and her family
by announcing her intention of learn
ing photography from the bottom up.
So she got a position in Rockwoods
studio, and there you might have found
her 10 or - years ago.
One day she was walking along the
street near Long Island Sound in New
Rochelle, N Y, when she CHANGED to
meet an old sea captain just como
ashore. She knew him by sight and
as she stopped him to pass the time
of day she studied his face. He was a
rough knuckled, tanned old man with
a look of the ocean in his eyes In
different dress you might have mis-
taken him for Walt Whitman in his
old age, only there was an innate rug
gedness a look of physical endurance
and doggedness, that would be lacking
in the face of a poet. The young pho
tographer caught all this in an instant

her poclietbood took out a dollar as
bait. "Will you pose for me for a dol

The sea captain thought that 1t
looked like an easy way to earn the
money, so he consented. Miss Levins
took the old man back to the studio In
New York with her and, applying all
the science that she had learned az
learned from Sister Loretto, she posed
the old man and in a minute more she
had snapped the shutter that stamped
the impress of his features on the SEN

who saw the photograph afterward
made no comments upon it. To be
sure, it was a carefully posed portrait.

She remained in London five years, pho

any other man in the world.
One day Mile Adelne Genee, the fa-

at the Cecil at the time, made an ap-

Genee on the stage in all her paint and

<<NAYING my debts doing my best
and demanding the best of
those | employ" That is the
whole business creed of one of the most
successful photographers in New York
city-a photographer who has the repu7
tation of having photographed more
celebrities than any other woman in the
business.
1t is often said that woman who
makes go in business in New York
must have a long head for finance, but
so far as this woman goes business is
only a matter of paying>one's debts. There
surely isn't any high finance in that.
Some 10 or dozen years ago if you
had gone into the worl1rooms of George
Rocltwood's Photographic establishment
in New York city you might have seen
an eager, hardworking young woman,
barely more than a girl at the time,
named Anna Frances Levins. She was
a pretty wide-awake girl, but she was
only one of the many laboratory and
studio assistants who did the detail work
at Rockwood's. She was a beginner too,
and although she was conscientious about
her work you wouldn't have dreamed that
there was any future for her. Why should
there be? A woman seldom combines art
and business in the right proportions to
succeed in photography.
Miss Levins had come straight to the
studio from school. Being of Irish par
entage, she had quite naturally gone to
st. Bridgets convent in New York city
oil v
her low well modulated voice that she
had been under the tutelage of the nuns.
There was one nun, in particular, Sis
ter Loretto who had influenced Anna
Levins, Sister Loretto taught art. In
fact. she is said to be to this day the
most able portrait painter to be found
in any American convent. When the
other girls in the convent were out play
ing at recess Anna Levins was to be
found with Sister Loretto learning from
her the difficult lesson of portraiture
Peoples faces interested Anna Levins
more than anything else in the world.
She had imagination of the kind that
they say all people who win business
success have to have. She could see
beyond the convent walls. She imagined
the world of men and women outside
bishops and cardinals, singers. actors,
dancers. kings and queens, statesmen and
pea SAINTS, dowagers and debutantes, whose
faces all so different, might lend them
selves to her power of portraiture Sis
ter Loretto had made a success of por-
trature by the slow method of the brush
inside the convent. Why shouldn't she,
Anna Leyins. make a success of por-
traiture by means of the camera in the
world outside?
This was more than a school girls

it was detected by others the whole fine
went to the state.
Another clause in the code provid IS
as to the sale of slaves and others as to
debt slavery. Among the latter regu-
lations was one that If man should
not pay his debts his family should
belong to the debtor until paid but
that this slavery could not last more
than three years. A third law related
to runaway slaves, and others to stolen
slaves and crimes committed by slaves.
This code was turned down by our
government. but it shows that the Mo
ros still regard slavery as a divine
right Notwithstanding their American
rulers.
+ met many of the dattos during my
stay in the Philippines and ] saw some
thing of their wives and slaves. The
women are not weiled as in other Mo-
hammedan countries, and both wives
and slaves go about barefaced I was
told that datto was considered rich
according to the number of slaves he
owned, and that children We're stolen
from other tribes to be kept as slaves.
Some of the dattos were notorious for
their cruelty in regard to their slaves.

gave unheard-of punishments for minor

him We're often punished by cutting the
tendons below the knee, so that thsY
