' Fictjris Chiiiren Indoors ' J " ' t j Floodlight from utmost dlrtetly overhead makes the child flour stand 'ut against a background of rich shadow. Tht picture was anappsd whan . . : th subject had forgotten there was a camera near. .r 'OARENTS usually think of out-l "doors and sunn summer days as I the proper place and time for plctur-l an children, and once this vas true. Before the sdTent of fast films and Jectrlo light bulbs especially de- fretst for amateur photography, daytime was the" only time Snap hooters could work. Today that Is ,r-ino longer tne case. . a- Nowadays, pleasing child pictures may betaken inside the home either fcJLday or night, and more amateurs aca tafcin them. This is Dartlr be- Sjtaus;th home provides an ideal set- Ufa for pictures one wants to keep, and partly because the photograpner an eontrol his light to make ple ural more interesting. The modern large-elzed amateur ood bulbs are so powerful that the era worker can put two of them ft reflectors three to four feet from Jlils subject, and take snapshots, as the would outdoors, with an ordinary 1oz , camera. The camera to, of jcourse, loaded with supersensitive jfilm and its lens set at the largest opening. Other cameras can be used ,t a;j5 second, shutter jfie,4( anj 2.8 or til lens opening, i Ability to take snapshots like this Is great help In obtaining natural, imposed child pictures. It is no long-, r necessary to take; "time" x 'poiuresor to tell the child to "hold jTery stiiL" Now his 'toys can be placed in the circle of liht cast by the flood bulbs, and as soon as he is absorbed In them, and' uncon scious of th camera snap goes the shutter and the picture is made! . There is a variety of lighting ar rangements one can nee on child pic ture. For a cheerful. Joyous effect, everything to the picture should be light In tone, and there should he even-; illumination, with no deep shadows. However, when a dramatic effect Is desired, illumination can he restricted to - the child's tface and hair, with everything else in deep shadow. This tends to give the im pression of a-very small child in a very large room; sometimes an ef fect of loneliness which la more ap pealing than it : the picture were bright and carefree. ' . Beautiful "high-key" 'effects can be obtained with the child on a window-seat where . daylight diffuses through the; curtains, and bright floodlight inside so that there are no dark areas or masses of shadow. The child's clothing should be light In color. Good balancing of light will give a picture that is almost all white and lighter tones of gray, with Just enough shadow here and there forIccents.:Backllgnafl5"," as from the window, can also be obtained with, artificial light, a bulb being . placed behind the. child so that the i hair becomes a bright, -silk halo. 'Start' today to keep a picture' diary of your children. " . . - John van Guilder. MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER Mrs. W. H.

Hence a spin, with him is f at, furious and ex- Ci4ng. lie's Ei.::ul and accurate. however,' .and tlius, his- record is ciean, t ut memories linger Oa .. w When Tom r--2 and he were in partnership t:.. were not only busi ness but playtime associates as well." Naturally, they were compan ions in various automobUe adven tures, someof which had.a humor ou8 aspect and ; give an .. amusing picture of two big brokers in their play moments. - ;M - ;,' -301':.:. There' was that day -.when Mr. Smith, with Mr Bragg as usual his companion, decided to try out a new light car on the rolling acres of his farm near Bedford ; VUlage,' N. Y. In the back " Of a ' car were some boards which were carried in case of emergency.. The . first use oc curred when they reached a small brook. The boards were laid across the stream and the car rolled over smoothly. Shortly after, that, they came to a moderately high stone "Whafll we do now?" inquired "That's easy.", returned Bragg. "Put up the boards and drive over." "O. K.." came the response from. Smith, "and you'll act as captain." Mr. Bragg' immediately assumed command and when the wheels were aimed directly at the boards gave the order, "Let 'er go an' give her plenty of gas." - Mr. Smith obeyed. The car leaped nobly to the task and shot up the boards. But when it hit the top of the wall, it stopped and spraddled with the front wheels, on one side and the rear ones hanging over the other. t ?" . v Puzzled ' by his predicament. Smith crawled: out with the query, What'Il we do now, Tom?" That's for you to figure out," was the quiet reply as Bragg strolled away. "' The next day, they .were back on Wall street putting over big deals. Speaking of driving. I'm wonder ing whatjnexi I'll see on the streets of New York. In old days, concrete mixers were stationary or were towed in the. backs of trucks. Now adays they travel, under their -own power and trvl-&st too, .presum ably chewing up sandvand concrete as they , plow through traffic. A concrete . mixer moving at high speed is something to meet But the other day, on Eighth avenue,; I saw what would be called .a steam shovel, if it were not gasoline op erated, bowling along- merrily., It had an escort a. dozen or. more taxlcabs with drivers muttering be cause they were unable to pass. ; 4 , - $ The recent announcement that Ciro ,Terranova( 'for a. number of years known r the "artichoke king," had given up his Pelham Manor mansion because- he'd not only been deposed -but had gone broke, brings to mind the story of a young advertising man and a pro hibition era New Year's eve." His wife and he were invited to a party and the- wife went . on ahead.,-The husband, somewhat - fuzzy, forgot where the party was and went out looking for it Seeing a biz house all lighted up, he rang the bell, was admitted and found himself a guest -of Terrahoyt And in 'tis emfcar rassrflent,. several' times he referred to the "pineapple king." But he had pleasant evening. .., t. Simile by Ralph Rotgers, orches tra Ieaderat th Starlight tz 1; "As shiny as the seat of sitd?vn strik ers' pants." ' . BU SnXUeate. WMV fcrvlc.
