Two features alone of the Decem ber, - 1900, number of Werner's ' Magazine make it exceptionally valuable. These two features are: "Rook Me To Sleep" Poses, and "Ben-Hur" Tableaux. The "Rock Me to Sleep" Poses, consist of ten full-length hrlf-tone r illustrations photographed from life, posed by a beautiful and artistic model under the direction of an ex perienced actress and stage-director. Accompanying the poses is an article ,giving hints on reproducing them and telling what to do. to obtain artistic results in photographing poses. The 'hen-Hur" tableaux, printed in colored ink, are seventeen in ,number, every one of 'them being described from a dramatic stand point, indicating how to reproduce them on the amateur stage or in par lor. Much of stage-technique and of what to look for in thedramatic value of stage-scenes, also of artistic drap ing and posing, may be learned from these tableaux. There are also portraits of Lew Wallace, author of t the novel "Ben-Hur;" William g Young, writer of the play "Ben- c Hur;" and Edgar Stillman Kelley, t composer of the "Ben-Hur" music, e together with several of the music themes, and an article giving the com poser's analysis and description of the 3 music.
