 what to wear when being photo graphed is a problem that the aver age home woman n finds extremely pug zIfng The solution is not a diff cult one if being Photographed is an everyday affair, as it is with profes- sfonaI women generally for, given a fashionable gown, an up-to-date coifYure, and the latest thing in acces- sories. she is correctly equipped sar- toriaIIy for the occasion.
 But there are any number of wo- men who have a. positive dread of posing before a. camera, and claim that a visit to "a dentists chair holds no greater terrors
 As a consequences these persons give as few sitting as possib1e-proD- ably not more than three or four in a Hfetfme-and therefore the toilet must be well and wisely chosen; otll- erwise the picture will only too read fly date itself.
 Color, Of course, plays an import ant part in the success or failure of a. photograph, some taking better than others. Many a. picture is a failure for the simple reason that the color worn is not one that comes out WsiR jE l.photograp phy, becoming as it may he to the wearer. And every reason but the right one is often given as an ex- cuse.
 Another requisite is perfect ease of manner. This is something that can not be bought, and not always ac- oufred, yet it is absolutely necessary to the success of the picture. To begin with, a woman never feelg perfectly at home in a gown she is wearing for the first time. Therefore ] it is obvious she should at least be- come thoroughly acquainted with the l dress she wishes to wear in her photo graph before she presents herself to the artist
 She can only do this by wearing it. The gown will then fall into or take on the natural lines of the wearer. Consequently the finished picture will | look more natural than 1t would be strange to her: Yet many women say when they get in a new dress: "Now I must get my picture taken" and the consequence is they look stin and unnatural.
 Another most important point to remember when dressing for a photo graph that is to be preserved, is the necessity for care in the selection of the small details or accessorfes of the | toilet These are the tr1des- that date the picture For instance, if lorg earrings are in fashion, or large round ', ones passing fad it. will be better to wear none at all than either style Ornaments in the ears are not staple like rings or brooches, therefore 1t fig i wise to discard them altogether when sitting for a photograph, even though the sitter wears them every day
 The fashionable millinery of the l day will come under the same edict, no matter how fascinating or even becoming such headgear may be.
 The reason is obvious. Nothing changes more quickly than styles in millinery, and the Hove of a hat" of this season is apt 70 be voted 2. 'fright' the next Hence the good reason 1t should be excluded from the toilet Not all hats, be it said, but the Fashionable one of thA moment
 In choosing a gown 1t is safe to as- seft that simple style will come out much better thar an elaborate one, apart from the fact that the latter VIII also probably be a fashionable able.
 I When any other than an everyday ] photograph Is desired, it will be better
