result from pictures snapped at great
er speeds than it is possible to OBJ
tain in compound shutters. Focal
plane shutters are supplied in hand
cameras of the folding type but their
face value in cameras of this type has
always been questioned
With this brief discussion, the
amateur will wonder what kind Of
a camera to buy. Obviously, the
camera must be suited to his needs.
If portability is of prime Importance.
small folding camera should be Sc
lected. If the camera is to be used
for minute definition, only the ! best
grades Of anastigmat lenses should be
considered. Small cameras equipped
with compound shutters and anastig-
mat lenses, in proper hands, produce
negatives of microscopic definition
Such negatives may then be enlarged
to many times their original size. We
are rather in favor of the small cam
era, as combining portability, COM
pactness, relatively low price, even
with first-class equipment, and low
cost of supplies for it's operation. A
film camera does not permit of ground
glass focusing, but it does remove the
troublesome cares Of plates, with the
danger attending the carrying about
of cumbersome holders, and conse-
quent easy breakegs. The plate cam
era is not to be excelled for technical
work, in that plates affording any
type of result desired, may be used.
We believe, however, that the anna
teur would not. feel disappointed in
the purchase of a standard, film cam
era, with the best equipment which he
can afford.
Our next article will deal with cor
rect exposure, of paramount import
ance to the amateur who wishes 'bet-
ter" results.

abounding "deadwood" which is de-
clared to be such a clog and detriment

That idlers and loafers may be
found here and there, and that there
is some "deadwood," may be readily
admitted, but the sweeping charge
that the departments are filled with

I had what girls call "a case" on
him. He was not the f1rst' boy I

I thought nothing OF the matter

admiration returned again. It was
during that second stage that he

young and inexperienced, so /

too honest to permit my infatua-
tion to change to something more
serious. so he stopped coming to
see me. When he was gone, / real
lied how much 1 cared for him. but
choked the feeling and let time
heal the wound. Later / met him
at friends homo, and we again
drifted together.
Since then, he comes over to see
me quite often. am afraid to
show him that I like him any bet
ter than other friends, because he
may get serious, and I do not know
whether / really love him.
Won't you please help me, Miss
Fairfax? / cannot keep my mind
and go on like that. Do you think

is three years older than 1 am, and

II may easily develop into real
love, but in the meantime it would
