About SiIhOuettes.

Almost every boy and girl some
day will look through mothers old
album or treasure box. When your
turns come try to find some sill
houettes of Aunt Jemima or Uncle
Silas Wouldn't you like to make
some of your own immediate family?
Nowadays, when cameras are easy
to borrow if you do, not own one
yourself it is simple matter to make
a silhouette. Select room in your
home that has plenty of sun in the
Open one window, pin
sheet over it. then shut out all light
which comes from any other source
but that window.
Your model must be posed before
the sheet draped window so that his
profile is shown up clearly. 1t is a
good plan to put some object before
him that shows his character. If he
has a pet dog let Rover pose with
him, if sister is an artist put her easel
in position before her, and If grand
ma loves her flowers place potted
plant on the table which she faces.
In exposing the plate use only a
short exposure. The result will be
a silhouette, but no details will fol-
low. Everything will be solid white
or black.
Mount the silhouettes on long
strip Of white cardboard, frame the
whole in a narrow black frame and
be sure the family will treasure their
modern silhouettes, from the mega
tive of which any number of copies
can be made.
