Try an evening of costume snaps -you'll have some genuine camera fun. 'STOW many costume pictures in CC11 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 tun. They're easy, because the costumes don't have to be elaborate or durable: For :snapshot purposes, you can use all :sorts of substitute materials and methods -pine instead of stitching, :lace paper instead of real lace, and :so forth. Some of the most .clever costumes can be put together in a :new minutes. These" makeshift costumes are successful because: the camera is easily tooled.' Pins in the back don't show -and substitute materials can appear just as natural' as the real thing, It some part of the costume is too obviously "faked," you sim- ply adjust the light so it is in half- , shadow. This subdues the obtrusive details. Children enjoy .the taking of cos - tonne .pictures -and so do grown- ups. Chances are, if you will rum- mage around in the attic trunks, you will find plenty of material for an evening of fun. Coats, dresses, collars, andhats that you wore eight or ten years ago -these are splen- did for the purpose. It's surprising how "dated" the styles become in only a few years -you'll find them truly comic. For foreign costumes, various materials can be pressed into ser- vice-suchae an old shawl, stray pieces of cloth from the work- basket, crepe paper,. and plenty of pins. Justto illustrate -crepe pa- per, folded and gathered, makes a fine neck ruff- for a Spanish don or an Elizabethan dandy, Tour die - denary, encyclopedia, and other books Will Illustrate many costumes that are fun to reproduce. Try an evening of costume snap- shots, Gather a new materials -en- list members of the family as mod- els --and you'll add some worth- while' pictures to your collection. 321 John van Guilder THE CLINTONNrJWS-RECORD very interesting talk on the manners and customs of the Chinese also the foreign missionaries work among them.
