young men with smart, well tit -up
figures, and bronzed faces, were
laughing over some past adventures.
They were ail about 111s own age,
but they had lived their levee, while

and in the atmosphere of suburban

There was the suggestion of a

breeze in which she mast needs

"It makes me want to donee w'lth
you," said Ralph.
She gave a little soft laugh,

"But where could we go?" said
Ralph.
"Oh, we could go i11 somewhere!
Silly of us not to go somewhere to

I have enjoyed it. We could try

Tansy was coming out in a new
light, and Ralph was too (Mem:eu

The wine, the society of his cin•

around him had gone to his head.

Though Ralph's back had been turn-

lace, he looking down at the girl
as they went out.
\label's hear was full of a fierce
anger. What business had Dera's
betrothed to look at Tansy like
that? He ought not to have been
there with her at all!

Unconscious of Slabel's indlgsant
gaze, Ralph took Tansy theouia

All sorts of tempting thing; are

This was not photographed in the wilderness but on a table top In the
home of an amateur photographer, The "lake" Is a mirror.
AS ALMOST every motion pic-
ture goer knows, the Hollywood
Audios are continually fooling us
these days with scenes photo-
graphed in miniature, such as a vil-
lage street, a castle In Spain, a
rural winter snow eceue, a ship at
sea, an airplane wreck and what not
else. So cleverly are these miniature
"seta" designed and photographed
that in the picture their lack of re -
defies detection, and when we
are let in on the secret, we do not
Mind at all. Indeed we admire the
achievement.
Have you ever tried creating
miniature acenea yourself and
photographing thorn with your
own camera? It's fun. Depending
upon your skill, artistic ability and
the materials you employ, you may
ronstruot and photograph miniature
sets in your own home that will
rival the semblance of reality
achieved in Hollywood; or, if you
Prefer, you may create scenes of
fantasy, comedy or burlesque to
compare with a "shot" in an animat-
ed cartoon.
For a "still" camera, this is really
nothing else than table -top photog-
raphy, each as has long been prac-
ticed by amateurs, hit which now
is photographically much easier for
the amateur than it used to be, be-
cause of the recent introduction for

Constructing one of these sets re-
quires, of course, a certain amount
of time and patience, with the ex-
pense depending upon the materla'e
you put into it. Very amusing
scenes may be created, however,
without introducing elaborate de-
tails. Here are a few suggestions
for the materials:
White or light gray cardboard
makes "sky"; a mirror shakos a
lake; twigs and small plants make
trees and hedges; moss serves for
grass; chalk, salt or flour for snow;
toy automobiles, traits, boats, air-
planes, houses, human and animal
dlgures may be obtained at the five-
and-dime store. If you are handy
with tools, you can fashion various
"props" yourself, using soft wood,
or yea can use plastic modeling
