Before Feeding Is Best Time

length picture can be made.
The baby can also be raised
slightly in the bassinette by a
helping hand that is hidden
under the sheet to provide a
better view of the face.
More Poses at Home
Once the new addition to
the family has reached home
you will have unlimited OPP
portunities for picture taking.
The new baby will not move
about very much and snap
shots can even be made with
floods or by natural light COM
ing in through a window.
Flash is best, however. as
this will allow you to take ex-
cellent pictures with the slow
est Of cameras. A word Of eau
tion is needed at this point.
No matter how carefully fash
bulbs are made there is an oc-
casional one that will explode
and shower glass fragments
on a nearby subject.
All danger to the baby can
be removed by fitting one of
those new flash envelopes over
the reflector. This will allow
the light to pass but will ef-
fectively stop flying glass in
the event of a flashbulb ex-
plosion. Lacking a safety en-
velope you can cover the re-
flector with a handkerchief,
a piece of tracing cloth or
other material that will allow
the light to reach the subject.
During its first few weeks
the baby will sleep most Of the
time and by all means make a
number of snaps showing him
snoozing away. Feeding time
is best for pictures of the little
one with his eyes open and an
alert look on his face.
Hove Equipment Reody
Have all your equipment
ready and waiting. If you keep
him waiting too long the tears
will begin to flow, and If he is
fed before the posing starts
he will be asleep again before
you have a chance. So plan
your shooting for the time Just
before the baby is to be fed.
At first you will get little or
no reaction to the waving mo-
tions you use to try to gain the
baby's attention. He will re-
act better to sounds. But as
time goes on and the eyes are
able to focus and see, you will

cdbture the Boby's Moods

Moods and expressions are
as important in baby photog-
raphy as in any form of por-
traiture. Too much time and
effort are expended by people
in trying to get a happy"
expression or a smile. The
very young baby doesn't know
a smile from frown and, in
fact, is apt to produce more
frowns and odd expressions
than those you might be
seeking.
A picture of an angry adult
is certainly nothing to be
sought after. But a snapshot
of a raging baby can be just
as cute as one with a big grin.
So don't hold back because
you can't get just the right"
expression.
During the stay in the hos
pital the baby is more often
than not bundled up with
hands and feet tucked under a
cover or hidden by a garment.

Most parents want to start

this can be done while the

It is always advisable to OBJ
tain permission from the floor

and in many instances the
nurses will cooperate by
bringing the baby close to the
observation window and NOV

The glass partition will pre-
sent very little of a problem
if you hold the flash to one
side so that it will not bounce
a reflection directly back at

CHICAGO.-There are no.
ticeable differences between
the 1856 model Adlai Steven
son and the 1852 version.
Stevenson assumed COM
mand of a very large press
conference with a brisk as
surance In which there was no
trace Of his old hesitations re-
garding the great office of the
presidency. He is now a man
with a settled mind on that
score: he wants to be nomi-
mated and elected.
Toward that end he has put
himself firmly in the hands OF
professional politicians. On
his right sat James Finnegan,
the very successful Philadel-
phia leader, whom Stevenson
introduced with flattering ref
erences to his credentials as an
expert. On. his left sat Hy
Raskin, a Chicago veteran who
worked as Steve Mitcheli's
deputy when Mitchell was
Democratic national chairman.
Finnegan win be Stevenson's
campaign manager. Raskin his
deputy. Both men are person
able and bear excellent repu-
tations but it will be quite i'm
possible even for COP. Chair

would continue to give him
their Invaluable assistance.
Intellectuals will have plenty
of avenues through which to
reach Stevenson. He is seek
ing counsel on foreign policy
from Dean AcheSon: he keeps
in very close touch with the
scholarly Tom F1nletter. for
merly Secretary Of the Air
Force.
There are several reasons
for Stevenson's conspicuously
firmer grasp on his affairs. He
himself has had an immensely
active three years, travelling.
writing and seeing people. In
person and by mail they have
registered an admiring conf
dence in him which has had
its effect.
Also. in 1852 Stevenson did,
not feel strongly about Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower. He
does feel strongly that Presi-
dent Eisenhower has not full
filled the hopes held out by
and for him; in fact. Steven
son is quite honestly indignant
about much that has been
done and much more that has
not been done. This means
that a rather considerable
body Of inhibitions which he
did not mention publicly but
which restrained him in 1852
no longer exist today.
