Try an evening of costume snaps—you'll have some genuine camera fun. "LJOW many costume pictures in J. .0 your snapshot album—pictures - of the children all dressed up for a party,. or other members of the family in the costumes of a bygone era or another country? Such shots are easy to arrange —easy to take—and a source of much camera fun. They're easy, because the costumes don't have to be elaborate or durable. For snapshot mimeses, you can use all sorts of substitute materials and methods pins t.r.:teed of stitching, lace paper it lead of real lace, and so forth.

Your dic- tionary, encyclopedia, and other books will illustrate many costumes that are fun to reproduce. Try an evening of costume snap- shots.
