raphy as a profession, so naturally she went into it rather cautiously After she had worked in studio for sometime she decided that perhaps it wasn't quite the calling after all which she desired, and gave up photography, going to Co mmbia universi y, New York, where she studied for year, perfectng herself in another branch of work. But whatever it is. by whatever name we choose 10 de- scribe it-"The Call of the World, The call of the Blood" anything-Miss Tyus felt the studio" calling her back, and so to make a long story short, she again took up her work, and mastered her profession in the studio, learning every detail of the business, ''retouching, I'm ishing," '.tinting," every new and artistic device and two years ago her efforts
 were rewarded most delightfully."- when
 she became a member of the firm of the stephenson Studio, with MT. M H. Will
 son. and today there is no more sue cessful or prominent business woman in
 Birmingham than this clever and tai- ented woman.
 Associated as I have been with MT.
 Wilson," Miss Tyus was saving when I chatted with her a few days ago about her work Il couldn't help but learn the best and the most important details of photography. for Mir. Wilson is a perfect
 genius when it comes to photographic
 work. He has the most wonderful sue cess with photography, especially is this
 true of his work with childrens pictures
 the most difficult of all to make. MT. Wilson semes to know just exactly how
 to manage children and how to get the very best results; few mothers ever have complaint about their baby's pictures when Mir Wilson makes them, and that Is the test, for few mothers think that anybody in the world could make a pie ture of their baby half as beautiful as the baby really is.
 Two years ago when I became asso- ciated with the firm Miss Tyus said | "Mr Wilson had already built up a 1 splendid clientele, which has increa sed | as the days have gone by Especially 1 during the war was photography appre- 1 ciated the hundreds and hundreds of | soldiers pictures that we made was an l inspiration to us. Of course there were many soldiers who neglected this impor-
 tant item and many of them never came
 ok, and so many mothers have told
 us since how much they regretted not 1 having a likeness of their boys who had made the supreme sacrifice over there. l %It really is a serious thing to neglect | having l..Nures made Miss Tyus de- clared "fof anything is likely to happen any day tS any of us. and our loved ones may be taken off without a mo- ! ments notice and with not a single re- | hinder left of them in the way of a photograph, Indeed, the happy idea that ! many parents have of having their chil- dren's pictures made every year is a i very commendable one, for then through the seven ages of man, we follow those
 we love holding in dearest remembrance l the happy childhood days through which | they passed.
 "There are a great many people who know very little about photography, Miss Tyus said, "and they really should know more. for when one has photo graph made, one naturally wants to DC posted about the best and the most ar tistic work of this character. Few peo'
 ple know anything about the materials
