Gloria knelt on the low window -
seat, and looked out foto the sweet -
scented garden,
"R's a wonderful night" she
breathed. "A night made frlr rr-
mance a Eight made for --lova!
Perhaps there is something In re:
mance after all."
From afar off she heard a bari-
tone voice: singing a song of Peter's
-a melodious lyric that seemed to
tone in with the October night.
Gloria followed. the words, lilting
her teem bony from aide to side as
the voice came nearer.
"Summer ]e dying
Lady of mine,
Summer is flying,
Lady of mine.
The night wind is Golder,
And love's growing older,
So be a little bolder,
Sweet Iady of mine:,
One of Peter n" s most popular
ballads, but never had Gloria heard
it sung with so much feeling. Tile
voice grew nearer, It came from
the direction of the river.
Soon Gloria saw a punt drift by, a
soman in white flannels standing in it,
The voice went on, then died away
in the distance.
Shegave a little sriver, as
she felt the first chit] breath of ou-
toming writer.

Gloria laughed. "Cinderella die:

suggested I might have to meet the

Primrose's cheeks flamed, "Yes,"
she said quietly. "This party is
nothing, but -later on-"
"What do you want me to do,
dear?"
"1--I can't tell you now," She
turned away, as though she were
ashamed to meet Gloria's. eye.
Gloria had brought down one of
her gorgeous gowns in case there
were any functions in Halston, It
was rich heavy cloth.of-silver, so
that she Iooked like moonshine in it.
Above the sliver her fair beauty
was appealing. White flesh shower}

As the evening wore on she grew
more and more bored.
Del ladies were asking her stupid
guestimt, men were wanting to sit
out on the stairs, young girls were
rlamoering for her autograph and
signed ehotegaphs and asking
whether she could get them on the
Mage or screen.
She was weary of smiling and an-
swe:ring questions, weary of dancing
with partners whose steps were old

people would hurry up and go home,
Yet for Primrose's sake she must

Worst of all the magic of the
night was during her outside,
A full Hunter's -Boon hung in the
sky, !pearl -white and beautiful. The
scent of late roses drifted in at the
open windows like pot-pourri.
It was a night for romance, for
love, for mystery -and she was
wasting it at a stupid party with
stupid people.
Primrose came up to her a.ld

thousands of square miles of

she was young and beautiful.
And now thea man had recognised

"Yes, it's me," she said, careless-

"You look as though you've stray-

"No, from a party." She smiled
at him. "Lt's being held at the house

He shook his head,
"I'm not a gate crasher,"

The fields and orchards, roads and

Lie desolate, hare and sere,
But wheat fields green give promise
sure
Of harvest for next year.
The woods are still, the branches
hare,
But all these lonely hours;
The dead leaves cover, close and
warm,
Another year's sweet flowers.
The flower beds are covered well
And Ailed with bulbs, to brine;
An Beeler message to the world
In blossoms another Spring.
Rose bush and thorn tree seem

But, folded out of sight,
Are buds all ready to awake
In next Spr'ing's sunshine bright.

DON'T INCLUDE TOO MUCH
IN ONE PICTURE
Thls picture, while striking,
®NE of the faults often seen in
the work of an amateur pho-
tographer, especially of a beginner,
is the inclusion of too much in one
picture. He tries to "hog the whole
show,' as it were, with results that
are uninteresting or distracting.
For example, from the top of a
mountain or other eminence, he is
impressed by a vast panorama of
country -several hundred square
miles of it spreading to the borizon
in a great semi -circle -and prompt-
ly tries to compress It into a few
square inches of film. The result on
the film is little niore than a wavy
or jagged line -the horizon line -
separating a white space from a
dark space. He failed to note how
all the interesting detail was swal-
lowed up in the vastness of the
scene,
Such a panorama may .be saved
by beautiful cloud effects obtained
by using a color filter and, of course,
it can serve, and may well bo treas-
ured, as a "record" picture of a vis-
it, but vastnese unrelieved by near-
by detail generally makes a poor
picture. Better to let the panorama
be a background for something
worth looking at fn the foreground.
A foreground object -a single tree,
a human being, a grazing cow, a
nearby cottage on the mountain
slope, often will make all the dif-
ference Ina secnic picture betweea
sometitipg interesting to loolc at and
little or nothing. t
Again, In nearby scenes, there Is
frequently material for two or even
more complete pictures that the pie-
turo taker leas crowded into one,
with the result that the eyo wan-
ders from one point to another, pre -
clueing a sense of irritation rather
Is really two pictures in one.

than of pleasure. All right in a three-
ring circus, if you like, but not for
a good photograph. Selection, leav-
ing out what is not really required,
is a lesson to be learned. The view-
point should he chosen carefully,
remembering that much that is ex-
traneous may be eliminated, or at
least made unobtrusive, by moving
the camera to the right or left, up
or down, nearer or farther away, by'
focusing from different planes, or
by using different diaphragm open-
ings in the lens.
But sometimes, you say, how can
you help getting In several objects
of competing interest when Nature
or circumstance has them in the ple-
ture you want to take. It Is true that
this situation cannot always be easily
avoided but, when you are confront-
ed
onfronted with it, you may find yourself
lucky after all, Go ahead and shoot
and then examine your print. Imag-
ine
magine a scene on a river. Your point
of interest is a girl in a bathing suit
about to dive from a row -boat in
mid -stream. You have to snap the
picture from the river bank fifty
feet distant. You find when the
print is finished that interest in the
girl is rivalled by that in a small
boy In the foreground at the right,
