BEING PHOTOGRAPHED
SUCCESSFULLY

Strangely enough, long neck looks longer than it really is and a plump one fatter when photographed than in the flesh. so that anything that tends to modify these effects should be adopted.
 For instance, the dog collar is vast Iy becoming to the long, slender neck. The design not only breaks the length of the neck, but 1t apparently adds to its circumference. bot hmost desirable features.
 When the neck and shoulders are really pretty-that is. neither bony nor fat-the dress may be cut quite low and the edge trimmed with any thing soft and fluffy, as folts of net, feather trimming, a transparent scarf or a feather boa draped care1ess1y around the shoulders.
 Fat shoulders require an entirely different treatment. They should be defined by a fiat trimming, as ps.ssa- menterie, a flat band of 1ace., or even a row of beads. To soften the line. narrow tuck of tuIle could be sewed in the top of the waist. This will be scarcely perceptible in the photo- graph, but will very much improve it. To be photographed in a. street cos tune is not desirable, if the picture is to be preserved; otherwise. there is no objection to it, provided each de- tail is in keeping. For. instance, one should not wear picture hat with a tailored suit simply because the hat is more becoming to the wearer than any other. Neither will a fancy paraso1 go well with a suit.
 The question of shoes, too, should be considered. The hat should be on the stiff tailored order, the parasoI plain one of taffeta or linen and the shoes adaptable for street wear. Furs are correct with a tailored suit, wheth- CT the latter is strictly plain or hand some1y trimmed.
 On the same principle, a shopping or hand bag, no matter how costly or elaborate out of the picture, should not be carried with a. handsome afternoon gown when being photographed. Per sons of good taste do not go shoppip g in elaborate gowns.
 A picture hat will be correct. while if one must carry something let it be a fluffy parasol, a dainty huff, a pretty card case, or, in the case of an elderly woman, she might be lingering a Iorg- nette.
 Unless the sitter is youthful and a beauty as well, a veil should not sfe worn. It looks patchy at best, although it is only just to admit. that it can be very coquettish+but in only g. few cases=and again, with a veil there can be no retouching, or very little, and most of US need a little hattering
 Gloves make the hands look larger than they are. For that reason, many women who understand this will be seen pictured holding the gloves

NEW YORK CEASES
 GROWING BOOSTERS

New York, Sept 17.-The peaceful slurnber Of residents of New York will not be disturbed at dawn by the crow ing of cocks after Nov. if the new regulations approved yesterday by the sanitary superintendent of the depart ment of health are adopted. First Of aIl the proposed regulations will pro hibit persons from raising chickens in their back yards where there is an other residence or public institution within 75 feet of the poultry enclosure and, furthermore, residents of the greater city are not going to De all lowed to keep roosters.
 Already hundreds of persons who are engaged in raising poultry, Wheth- CT for pastime or profit, have sent protests to the health commissioner and some of them have equalled, 1T not surpassed, the Remuneration or many of the dog owners reluctant to adopted on the recommendation or Commissioner Goldwater Y
 The chicken problem of this. city al ready has engaged more than 1ts share of the attention of the health authorities, according to Deputy Health Commissioner Emerson. He pointed out yesterday that 1000 out of 21 GOO inspection visits by the sanitary inspectors last year were made to find out if premises were suitable TOT keeping chickens.
 Dr. Emerson said that the presence of fowl, particularly in the tenement districts of Manhattan, had become a nuisance. Tenants, giving the excuse that some member Of the family was a tuberculosis victim, have been per mftted to keep few chickens for their sick Returning to some of these places the agents of the sanitary di- vision would find that the chickens had been cooped up on the fire es- capes where small poultry farms were being conducted at a considerable profit
 The new regulations will require that all chickens be confined in GOODS and that the coops and runways be thoroughly washed and renovated each wear

 Very tight-Atting garments should be avoided on general principles, whether 1t be gown, waist or wrap. unless the sitter has perfect figure but few of possess forms so fau1tless that they will stand being clearly defined in a photograph. The question of coiffure is an inn portant one. While the picture will be much more natural looking if the sit- ter arranged the hair in the usual way 1t will generally be found that little f1uffing is necessary. This may seem to the possessor nothing short of un- tidiness, but the picture will be very much improved by such treatment if the hair is halbitua1ly worn rather flat or plain. Hair only the least bit strained back or up will be fatal in a photograph even though 1t may not be uYbecornirlss out of the picture
 Full, fat faces should have the hair dressed high upon the head and fuffed we'll up around the face, while the oval type of face will find the low dress ing in the nape. of the neck come out very graceful looking and becoming.

 A numb of hair ornaments should be avoided. They add nothing to the beauty of the picture. A single high comb will often add dignity to a coif- fure, but small ornaments, as they are understood, are apt to look tawdry in a photograph
 There is a difference of opinion among photographers as to whether the face should be made up for a pie ture. Some prefer it. Others have an objection to paint or powder in any form. From experience, I have found that when the faceis freck1ed or bears blemishes of any kind a coating of pow6e- prone-Iv adjusted is 9 bene- fit The nowder such be perfectly proved thereby and no one will suspect very Igh- 4l ,tses-al.y those of the san dy hair type) that they fail to show at all in a, photograph, although plainly visible to the eye in the flesh.

Americans Who Lived Unergroud Prairie Homes $500 Years Ago

Of underground dwellings in which thou

from Its Heavy Frame.
walk away with what Is probably
the most valuable art treasure In
the world.
It was on the morning OF August
%, 1911, that the world was startled
by the announcement that Leonardo
da Vinci's great masterpiece had
been stolen. It.. disappearance from
its accustomed place In the Salon
Carre, or Square Salon, was noted on
August 81. To some reporters who
inquired intelligently about Its dis
appearance the officials on that day
explained that it had been taken down,
to be cleaned. On the following day
the government decided that it was
useless to attempt to conceal any
longer the fact that 1t had been
stolen. Its value was estimated at
S5.000,000.
It Is interesting to recall some of
the extraordinary speculations and
theories that were advanced con-
corning It's disappearance. Some
argued that It was incredible that
a government possession Of such In
calculable value could be taken by
a common thief. They said that
some person Of great influence, a
Cabinet Minister or other high Off
cial, had taken the picture to photo
graph 1t, had damaged it accidentally
and was keeping it until he could
repair 1t.
Another theory was that the mys-
terious psychological and Sex influ-
ence OF the picture would prove to
be tho clue to It's disappearance.
IL is we'll known that this exquisite
and subtly fascinating portrait Of
Mona Lisa del Gicondo eXerts
very diverse influence upon the two
sexes. Men OF impressionable tenn
permanent are strongly drawn toward
1t and feel deep and even passion
ate pleasure in the radiations OF its
"enigmatical smile" Women, on the
other hand, are, with equal frequency,
repelled by it, and are even stirred
to hate and fury by the same smile.
The partisans OF this theory fell
into two groups. One group said
that a man mentally disordered by
the strange fascination Of the pic
ture must have stolen 1t to enjoy its
subtle charms in secret. The other
group argued that a woman had
taken it to vent the rage Of her
sex upon it.
One thing became clear from the
mass Of theories and interesting facts
brought out by the episode. The
contents Of the Louvre were not, and
ha
Pictures worth from S1,000,000 to
S5,000,000 could have been pulled of
their hooks at a favorable moment
any day without detection.
Officials, moreover, had been In
the habit CT lending the art treasures
to artists and persons Of influence
1t was stated that $50 pictures had
been stolen or borrowed" In the
course OF the nineteenth century.
Gradually the months wore on and

The next protective measure was
TO connect the pictures by rod so
that all those along a certain wall
space can be locked up from one
lock. Formerly every picture hung
separately.
Under the new arrangement each
line OF pictures hangs upon one fat
rod by hooks in the frame, which
only admit the rod when it Is turned
edgewise to the opening In the hook
Then the rod is turned so that the
picture cannot be removed from 1t,
and Is locked in that position.
Little chambers have also been
constructed behind the carved mold
lngs near the ceiling, from which

the recovery of the great picture
came to be regarded as hopeless.
Then. on December 12, 1913, came
the news that 1t had been found
An art dealer informed the director
OF the Uffzi Gallery at Florence that
an italian workman named Vincenzo
Perugia had taken the picture and
had it In Florence. This statement
was verified and the 'HMona Lisa"
returned to France.
The confession OF Perugia shows
that the subtle psychological influ-
ence Of this picture had, indeed,
much to do with his act.
Perugia said:
"I am a patriotic Italian. I saw
that the Louvre was filled with mas
terpieces stolen by Napoleon from
Italy. longed to take something
back.
81 thought Of taking a Raphael, a
Titan, a Correggio and several other
masterpieces. But the Mona Lisa
seemed to me much more appealing.
Here she is. give her back to
my country. 1t Is the greatest sacri-
fee Of my life"
From Perugla's confession 1t ap-
peared that he had worked as paint
er for a decorating contractor Of $50
Rue st. Honore, Paris. He had
worked as a painter on the Louvre
for some weeks, but gave up this

the guardians Of the Louvre can se-
cretly watch every person dn the
rooms. The knowledge that a mid
den guardian is watching them is
expected to have a terrifying effect
on would'be thieves.
The pictures have also been con-
nected by electric wiring. Any tam
perlng with them closes a circuit
and causes an electric bell to ring

emphasized the necessity Of guard.
ing against similar occurrences in
future. The confession Of Vincenzo
Perugia has revealed the astonish-
ing ease with which he was able to
