Hobby Made
of Cameras
and Horses
Mrs. Dorothy Afford Picks
Difficult Kind Of
Photography.
Bv Elizabeth Carr

A CTION pictures Of horses, one
n Of the most difficult types of
photography. form the hobby and
JOY Of diminutive Dorothy Afford,
who is proud Of her several sue
cesses in as many attempts to cap
ture the animals in arresting poses.
Mrs. Afford, the only woman in
the state to make this type Of pho
tOCraphy her speciality, advises that
one must know horses and their
temperaments and recognize the
critical moment to snap the shutter.
A photograph Of Audrey Pugh's
stallion taken by Mrs. Afford.
graced last months cover of that
infant publication, The Hoosier
Equestrian, which so rapidly is max
ing its way into the homes of horse
men throughout the state.
She recently completed pictures
for the Arlington show to be held
June 2, and she showed us snaps of
Lctitia Sinclair. Miss Pugh. J. r.
McNutt, Linda Hamilton and a
charming pose of Gretchen and
Barbara Wemmer. young daughters
Of Mr.. and Mrs. William Wemmer.
Mrs. Afford does not limit her
hobby to photography, for she may
claim an a%deptness for oils and
charcoal work.
Paints in Oil
The oil painting of Mrs. Frank
Hoke's horse, Dresden Lady, which
now hangs in Mrs. Affords taste
fully furnished home, was on dis
play at the recent home show.
One likeness of Mrs. August
BOhlen was made after a brisk
morning canter. The subject is
dressed in her riding outfit and
wears a kerchief around her head.
The colors are soft and warm.
One form of Mrs. Affords work
combines both photograph and
painting-that of wood cutouts.
The photographs are painted,
mounted first on wood and then on
standards, shellaced and cut out.
These ~neccssitate a great amount of
patience and care. Mrs. Afford uses
three-ply wood for these figures.
several of which she has about her
home.
After a visit to the studio Of Her
man Hoss in New York, where she
viewed likenesses of horses and
dogs. she became interested in the
possibilities of that phase of photog-
raphy.
Studied With Tahinger
She has studied portrait work at
the John Heron art institute and
this winter has taken figure work
and portrait study under Elmer
Taflinger.
The sun porch of her home af-
fOrds an attractive workshop, but
Mrs. Afford cOnfesseS she finds too
many distractions here. and is look
ing forward to the future when she
will have a small studio at Laurel
hall.
She is planning to convert an old
blackSmith's shop into a studio liv-
ing room, where she may set up her
easel and arrange her work.
In her spare time Mrs. Afford
contributes to the Kentucky Horse
man. a Lexington publication, and
the Saddle and Bride. horse mag
azine of st. Louis. Mo. She plans
to attend a horse sale next week in
Lexington.
Joan and Mary Jane, 7 and IL
year-old daughters. have not as yet
taken up their mothers interest in
riding.
It's still a hobby for Mrs. Afford,
but she hints that at some time she
may make it a business, and con-
feSses she Will be glad when her
spring housecleaning" is finished,
so she may plan curtain and fur
niShings for her little 'hide-a-wav."

During the filming of his latest
| picture, The House of Rothschild,"
George Arliss followed his usual
custom of having tea served to him
on the set each afternoon at a..
t. - 80 A~1s-- +-AL;tSA, -, HILL,
wood, and is a part of every con-
tract he signs that this custom be
followed. Although Mr.. Arliss has
been acting on the stage and in
motion pictures in America for
thirty-three years, he clings to many
of his English cubtoms.
Commenting on the tea-drinking
habit of his country, Mr.. Arliss gave
the formula by which his valet,
Jenner, prepares the brew for him.
Il am told" Mr. Arliss said, that
many Americans prepare their tea
by dangling little clusters of leaves,
tied up in cheese-cloth, into hot wa
ter! This is simply barbarous!"
Arliss Method Given
The method which Jenner uses,
and which has become a part OF a
solemn ritual on the lot where Mr..
Arliss is working, is imperative.
In the first place, the teapot.
which must never be metal, is scald-
ed with boiling water, so that it
will not allow the tea to be made
in it to cool too rapidly.
A quick change of temperature,
MI. ArlisS believes, effects the brew
ing of tea, though he admits it is
helpful to the flavor if, when max
ing iced tea. 1t is cooled rapidly
after it is made.
Because of this, the suggested
method for making iced tea is to
pour hot tea into a glass full Of
cracked ice, rather than by letting
the tea cool slowly to a tepid tenn
p%erature, and thus becoming stale.
After the pot is scalded, a guam
tity of tea leaves, depending on the
size OF the pot, is put in the bottom,
loose. Then boiling water, which
has just that moment ceased from
bubbling, is poured over them, al
lowed to stand for perhaps thirty
seconds, and then poured into the
cup through a strainer.

frozen water falling out Of the sky"
whereupon, the Bedouin doubtless
would have inquired, And what Is
'frozen'?" Sky, Of course, he would
know, and water in its normal liquid
state would be something with which
he would be reasonably familiar.
But further he could not go. It
would be beyond his imagination to
think of moisture in form as hard
as an anvil, as sharp as a sword, as
cruel as physical pain, as beautiful
as diamond crystals. Added con-
fusion, too, would result from any at
tempt to make it clear that even
within the span of a single hour
half q dozen different varieties OF
snow might descend in as many Diff
ferent manners. The word covers
such a number Of varying shapes
and sizes and conditions. For ex-
ample. there are the flakes that are
feathery and soft. Again, there are
these that are as brittle and as
caustic as pulverized stone.
Moreover. the rule of variation
continue after the snow has reached
the earth. Last evening the streets
of Washington were covered with the
product of yesterdays storm. Yet this
morning much of the precipitation
had disappeared. What happened
during the hours between midnight
and dawn? BY way of answer. it may
be suggested that the temperature fell
and the wind rose-the one power
contracted the tiny individual units Of
moisture and the other blew them
away.
Perhaps no similar phenomenon of
nature is more mysterious than snow.
Not e.en scientists who spend their
lives in study Of it have solved all its
mysteries.

More About Studying
The Russian Language

To The Editor of The Star:
Being in the midst of troubles Mr..
Perkins spoke of in his article on the
difficulty of learning the Russian
language, I was much encouraged by
his acknowledgement of them. But
I fear someone about to begin would
be discouraged. Hence this:
Last year for seven months had
very little to do and very little money
to do it with, and SO began to try
to gain q reading knowledge OF Rus
sian, all by myself. Through one
grammar and book Of fairy tales !
progressed rather easily in seven
months. In the seven succeeding
months I have had very little time
and still no money. However, can
now stumble through Russian well
enough to understand what am
reading, although have only the
fatntest idea how to pronounce 1t, and
it takes an exceedingly long time to
read q discouragingly small amount.
Undoubtedly miss q great many fine
distinctions, and suspect some major
ones also, but it is lots Of fun to read
dFravda," and eventually I hope to
learn to speak Russian. My chief dif-
ficulty Is the tnadequacy Of gram
mars. believe in learning other
languages. I used to crouch about
having to learn rules, but now I often
long for them where there don't seem
to be any. And the best grammar ]
have found Is written entirely In Rus

The Lure of the Heights.

That Albert, King of the Belgians,
should have come to his death while
engaged in his favorite pastime of
mountain climbing may seem to have
been a deplorable waste of a valuable
life. Yet it may be that the gallant
soldier monarch would have wished
no other way of exit from existence.
He was an inveterate adventurer with
the desperate hazards of the heights.
The mountains called to him as they
have to thousands Of others, and he
was happiest when matching his skill
and strength against the perils Of
the hills.
Mountain climbing, once regarded
as a means of exploration by
which mans knowledge Of geog-
raphy has been greatly extended, has
become q veritable sport. It calls for
strength, for skill, for GOODNESS and
ingenuity. It attracts by its perils. It
is no mere game Of chance. for the
possibilities Of mishap are met by cool
ness and caution, by careful planning
and by study of conditions. Each
firm foothold Is an achievement, each
goal is a danger.
To many. in fact, to most people,
the scaling of heights is impossible
because of a temperamental abhor-
renee of elevation. There are those
who cannot stand on the edge Of .
preeaptcs, however secure the 1oottnE.
