GOOD DISCIPLINE
By GRACE MOON.
sssssesssssesssesssssssss,

ing the present Lenten season." said the girl with the camera slung over her shoulder, buy tank and scale and few dozen different chemicals, and book of directions and leave him to his fate. The seeds of humility, pa- tience and long suffering will bear fruit thousand fold.
 Don't laugh; it's true! If you know anything about the capital sins you know that pride Is at the head of the list. To cure it, let some one take a good swift snapshot of you when you're not looking It can reveal and correct more beauty defects than 52 visits to the shop where they make you beautiful while you wait. When that same snapshot is three or four years old and you gaze upon the hat that was none too becoming in it's best lays, you begin to realize that the lily )f the field had some advantages over Solomon.
 AS for patience, amateur photog- raphy is more instructive than Bruce's spider and more effective than Jobs
 
 put Is ounces of hypo in a half ounce ;cale-which means that you have to balance it 32 times, to the rhythmic chant of twenty grains 2one scruple, three scruples one dram, eight drams one ounce'-and then forget whether the last measure was the .twenty-first or twenty-second half ounce, and you sk II . again, if you can do 1t with cheerful heart your spiritual condition is en- couraging.
 When you come home from vaca-. tion with several rolls of films and be- gin developing the best and most cher shed roll and 1t comes out of the tank distinct and clear and you drop it into bowl of innocent looking hot water which should have been cold-a bowl which a member of your family had placed earelessly at your side-and you see your jolly groups of bathers and cancers run into a shapeless mass of gelatin and you hold in your hand blank film roll, then if you can turn to the offender and say with serenity: It's all right, I really don't mind then you have merited triple halo.
 Do you wish to understand your neighbor? Try group picture. In the first place, when 1t comes to posing a group, have you ever observed the serene indifference with which each member regards the position and ad- yantages of every other member? The most humble and retiring individual luietly and consistently slides into an advantageous position, regardless of he same desire on the part of every )ne else.
 And when the same group has been infshed and you talk about light and hade, tone and contrast-you were tot in it, of course--and you try to get tnyone else to observe these points md you say, Don't you think the hadows are good? your friend will invariably reply, I didn't know I had double chin' or I certainly can't wear soft collar!'
 Then you suddenly realize that gour modest self-effacing friend has normal ego.
 For social popularity the snapshot s an open sesame. If with your bread md butter letter you can inclose few snapshots of the infant idol of the family, of your hosts new chicken coop, or your hostess new porch set, the invitation to come again will be sincere and urgent.
 When 1t comes to generosity this gentle art of snapshotting has no equal. Suppose In a rash moment you have promised each of eight friends a full set of 12 prints. After prelimi- nary struggle with drams and scruples you start in to print. Your family ad- monishes, urges and finally commands | you to be sensible and go to bed, but you feel that you must persist in your | altruistic endeavors. It is midnight before you get your 96 prints to wash | in a bowl of running water in the | kitchen sink.
 When you return at the end of an hour you find that several of the prints, with the perversity of inanimate things. have slipped over the drain | oho q ANioS6i q tS down upon the floor.
 "The heat has been off two hours and it's ten degrees below zero. and the kitchen has west exposure, but you open the door and sweep strenu- ously and exhaustively. And you hear the splash of the water out the porch, on the landing below. then on the walk in the yard, and you think of the pro- file of drainage of the great lakes, And you tread lightly and softly, partly be- cause you are reluctant to dislodge the water soaked ceiling in the fiat be- low and partly because you are afraid of waking your family and bringing down on your unoffending head a chorus of I told you SOS
 After three hours of hard labor you close the door just before the milk man tears up the back stairs. And then, when you come to the breakfast table the next morning. heavy lidded and sore of spirit, but discreetly si- lent, another of your household comes l fin and saws in a convincing and aDDeal-
