At this transition season no more de
lightful form of enurt.iinment can wvll
T>e imagine J than a house party at some
favored dwelling place on the sea shore,
where the pleasures of a seaside resort
and the comforts of city life are com
bined. I’icture to yourself a. handsome,
old-fashioned house, a few yards hack
from the lasach and fronting the ocean,
surrounded by gardens of the old-timg
sort, walks and flower beds bordered with
evergreen hedges, waist high and level as
e table on top; around the entire house
a great veranda extending, on which
there are canvas swinging chairs and in
numerable hammocks; within, immense
cool rooms, with high ceilings, interesting
pictures and curios and no end of books;
billiards for those so inclined and piano
and banjos for the musical.
The pleasures of such an Arcadia are
endlsss. At hjgh tide the dip in the ocean,
at this particular spot more delightful,
possibly, than surf bathing, a compro
mise between breakers and still water,
with long, rolling waves on which you
float, rocking deliciously, a firm, sandy
beach under foot and always a glorious
breeze blowing. Then an exhilarating sail
over the sound, rowing, fishing or crab
bing for the ambitious and always in
teresting walks on the beach, beautiful
front sunrise to sunset with endless vari
ety. At night a crowd on the broad ve
randa and steps, swinging in hammocks
or extended in easy chairs, the sound of
the banjo and sipging, story telling and
the beauty of moonlight on the surf,
breaking now with a roar up the sloping
beach in front. And always, even in the
flight, the song of mocking birds and
the ceaseless sound of the ocean breeze in
the pines and palmettos.
To the city prisoned a week of such
enjoyment is both mentally and physically
Invigorating. An eminent M. D. gave this
advice once to a nerve-exhausted business
man: “When you take your week’s holi
day in the country, devote yotjr time to
the study of an ant hill. Observe the
habits of the ants and turn all of your
mental energies In this direction. You will
return with a bruin more rested and re
stored than if you ha.l tried a course of
mineral waters.” The study of "fiddlers”
and hermit crabs might prove of equal
benefit, and It would certainly be difficult
to find anything much more Interesting.

BEAUTY POSES ON A COUCH.
PRETTY GIRLS HAVE GRACEFUL
riCTIRES TAKEN LYING ON’
A DIVAN’.
"Perfect Expression” Guaranteed.
For n Big-Eyed, Pensive Urunette
nu Open Window und a Dreamy
Gaxe Are Ordered—Women Who
Take "Home Photographs.”
There traveled from Egypt to America
last winter some photographs that set
the people who saw them crazy with de
light. The photos were pictures of the
Americans in Cairo, taken after the
oriental fashion—lying down. From civ
ilization to Egypt the camera had trav
eled and had come back enriched by as
sociating with the world. Such lovely
life-like pictures were never seen before.
Everybody, according to the photogra
phers’ reasoning, that went with the pic
tures, looks better lying down. There Is
a comfort, an absolute relaxation tllat
makes the features soft and graceful.
Even hard faces take on a certain soft
ness from a pillow, and the most awk
ward body breaks into cufves when rest
ing. What lovelier, then, than, really
handsome people, pretty women and fine
looking men, taken, In that beat of all
attitudes—the lying down one!
The manipulator of the camera was a
man who spoke English. The American
colony thonght him a yankee born with
a little English grafted upon his tongue.
He said "cawnt” and "eyether,” but
there was a twinkle of the eye that be
spoke New England blood. And a smart
ness, too!
The way of taking pictures was man
aged most beautifully. A little house
thrown up In a vacant spot bore the sign
"American Photographer,” and below it
were words of invitation and advantage.
As yoh approached you saw frames of
pretty photographs; and as you came to
the door you were greeted by the photog
rapher himself, who ushered you in a
room and invited you to be seated upon
a. couch. Many cushions upon a flat
couch invite a reclining attitude; and the
minute you had fallen into a position of
ease “snap, snap” went the little slides,
and you were "taken.” The pictures were
so novel they ngver failed to sell.
This photographic fad for having pic
tures taken lying down has spread rapid
ly since first seen. The boudoir picture
is as common now as the street one and
commoner than the carriage one. The lit
tle camera is part of the furniture of the
boudoir, and is found set upon a shell
draped with scarfs, or poised upon a
table ready to be snapped off when the
photographer is ready to work.
The best rule for taking these pictures
Ring down is to order the “sitter” to
recline comfortably. Then, when the
camera has been placed the operator
looks through tt to see If all is well Of
ten a foot or arm is misplaced. If the
camera is of the snap-shot kind, which
will not admit a glance, you stand off and
get a critical survey.
Much the same rules apply as In every
t,?wara h °!s Braphj ’ Any part extending
towards the camera comes out large in
c ! u , r if’ The recl *ning subject must
look out that the feet are Just a trifle in
the background and the hands not too far
forward or the picture will be an ama
teurish failure. The elbow, too, may pro
tr Vl e , gown out too far in cen
tet that give the picture awkward
ness. Standing off at a distance with the
eyes partly closed is a good test; for if
any one object is prominent, that is the
one that should be looked after and modi-
The next advantage of the photography
lying-down fad is that anew face is giv
f" ‘° ? icture as well as anew atti
tude. Read and you will see how that
F a P. be ;, iart of the photography fad
L pers , on >y ln * d °wn should have
a perfectly natural expression, and that
is done by giving her something to do

One of these girls wanted a picture to

her and she with hfm—her fiance. In vain
she had tried a photographer. Then some

ture. Here lie down upon that couch and
let me take one of you. You have vour
camera here ready for the summer.'The
plates are in it.
It was at a girl's farewell luncheon of
the most informal sort. Laughing the
young woman threw herself upon the
couch "Here, take Jack's picture "n
your hand, said one of the girls. "Now
look at it as though you were longing to
see him. 6
Laughing, the girl took the picture and
glanced at her friends. "Will this do >"
she asked. '

With her characteristic merrv look

graph a dreamy look which years ol pos
ing could never bring out. It is a "nat
ural” photograph.
Hammock pictures are liked also. They
are reclining pictures, but they are har
der in the pose. The camera artist must
know about raising the camera to take
the face and arms, instead of the under
part of the hammock. As high as possi
ble some of the cameras are lifted, and,
when you look at the picture, you see a
pretty girl snugly tucked in cushions, as
tranquil as a baby in its cradle.
The hand and foot are brought out by
the couch pictures. The hand can always
be spread out in a becoming way, and one
pretty girl who had a couch picture, pur
posely covered her eyes with her pretty
arm, letting the hand fall forward a lit
tle to get the perfect shape of the lovely
hand. There are little tricks to couch
photography that are not possible other
ways.
The sweetest couch photograph was tak
en of a row of heads. The girls snuggled
themselves together, girl-fashion, upon
one of the long wicker couches that come
for summer rooms. A coverlid of shaded
Dresden silk was thrown over them care
lessly, and in every fold of the coverlid
was a pretty face. Below it extended a
bewilding assortment of French heels
curved insteps and delicate ankles. Laugh
ing, as if getting a photograph taken was
the funniest thing in life, the girls piled
themselves up together, reached for a
coverlid, and gave the word to take the
picture.
One curly head was nestled against a
plum cheek. Lovely brown eyes were
veiled in the matted curls of the blonde
head below. A golden head lav nestled
on the back of a neck where the blackest
of braids lay in long lengths-and so
the picture was taken without thought oi
care, but it was the greatest success of
the season. The camera was pointed at
it in two ways, once from above, when
the faces looked up laughingly, and once
from way back, where eyes and a tangle
of hair were the only glimpse one caught
of the fair posers, but perfectly recogniz
able.
Photographs asleep are good, if they are
successful. But few- know how to nose
them If, taken asleep a young woman
should be surrounded by the gayest of
things. Her couch should he a mass of
cushions of blue and red-one takes white
and the other black, and there should be
checked materials, a striped cover and a
fan. The calm, peaceful look of a girl
asleep is not luted in a photograph. lt

quiet suggestion is repressing to all who
see it. But with loosened hair, her pillows
clung around her, her parted lips show
ing the breath upon them, and her eye
lids lightly closed, nothing is prettier
The couch photograph fad is practiced
as an actual living with the girls who go
around taking home photographs. One
woman has such a picture taken, and
others must copy it, or have a prettier
one done for them. And so it goes on
Photographing the bare foot is very com
monplace compared with the couch pho
tograph; for one at best is merely a fad
while the other is an addition to photo
graphic art. Helen Ward.
