Just for a moment there wee a !faint smile to his dark brown eyes, as though he wanted' to reassure her, "I'll only take him for a row on the sea, Mary. He loves the sea; it was the first thing he told me, and I premised to take him for a row if you would let me. I won't bake 'him from you avid I will bring him ,back safe and sound, 1 - promise.

Strange how easy a thing can be whenyou don't want it. 1t was what one vented with a passionate longing that was always se hard to attain.

Dick en'terrcl, and instantly the boy darted forward to catch his hand in his excitement. "I'an ready, daddy! And you haven't kissed mummy yet," Dick drew a sharp breath, "Half a minute, son," he said, "you haven't given me time to see her!" But he could saes that her face was' very white. "And another thing." Dick said deliberately, "I haven't seen over .thiel place yeet. You'll wait to let me look around finsat, won't you." "'Course," said Dicky. "You—really want to?"

It'll be easier for you that way; bat I would like to see the kitchen," He laughed "That sounds silly, doesn't it? But I do."

It is the unusual that attracts at tendon but 1t is necessary to us your eyes and a little imagivatin and ingenuity to ferret out the ex ceptioual and get pictures that show individuality. When making mirror pictures and focusing for reflected images only, It is necessary to add the distance from the mirror to the subject, to the distance from the mirror to the lens of the camera and then set the focus accordingly. If it is desired to include the sub - that In the picture with the reflected imago the focus should be set for the distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the sharper will be both images. Of course, the nearer the subject is to the nerves the less is required in the :natter of "depth". Let us suppose that sister Mary Is two feet and the camera six feet from the mirror, If you want to in. crude sister, as well as her reflected image, in the picture, set the focus at six feet. If you want only the re- flected image in the picture, you set the focus at eight feet. A photoflash lamp simplifles your exposure prob- lem and permits a small enough lens opening to gain a s1Meient range of aila1pnea5. After locating your subject in the finder and setting the focus of your camera at the proper distance, set the shutter for "time", place a photoflash bulb in an ordinary floor lamp within reaching distance from the camera, tilting the shade elightiy upward and toward the subject, If you cannot tilt the shade, remove it from the lamp. It is best not to have any bright lights burning near the Iona of the camera. Set your !ens opening according to the table on the photoflash lamp container, Take youreposltton at the camera, press the (sable release to open your shat- ter and immediately turn on the a s n photoflash and then quickly , 1,,. e the shutter—.and the picture '. . been taken.
