for love,
Dora was all that a Ulan could
ask, be told himself, Her devotion
as a daughter proved what she
would be as a wife,
But elle tacked something that
his own .nature craved. Too late
he knew his engagement had been
a mistake.
OBI, he might never have found
It out but for Tansy! Whet was
his love for Dora worth If it failed
at the first test? His feelings to-
wards Tansy he did not attempt to
analyse.
He only knew that there was no
rest for him till he saw her agate,
and that it was his duty to avoid

The next morning brought a leiter
from her, He batt never seen her
writing. but the sight of teh mauve

was written in a large, picturesque

wa.' from.
He read it when Ire was' alone.
"Dear Ralph, --'Lt was sweet - ul

In hist thoughts of the danger
which threatens] her helpless' tn-
nocence, as he imagined, the minor
conventionalities were forgotten.
The landlady, accustomed to free,
and easy- ,ways, told him that Miss
Clare was in and directed him to
her room.
Ralph hurried up and knocked at
the door, and Tansy's voice bade
him come in.
In the gaslight, which was soften -
beside it, well aware of the teach -
little room looked very pretty,
There was a cheerful fire, and
Tansy sat on her improvised sofa,

DECORATIVE SILHOUETTES tk
Bence the puppy is likely to move, a photographic flash bulb, which gives
an Instantaneous flash of light, was used In making this silhouette.
PHOTOGRAPHIC silhouettes are
a source of decorative pictures
—and camera feu—which every
snapshooter should try, The arrange-
ments are simple --a white sheet
stretched over a doorway, 01' divi-
sion between two rooms, with e,
strong light behind it and the cam-
era set up in front.
By arranging his subjects in front
of this brlgbtly illuminated sheet,
the clever photographer can con-
struct any number of imaginative
or story -telling pictures. Costume
snaps are particularly interesting in
silhouette, and there are possilbiii-
tles for many humorous pictures of
the "It -can't -be" variety.
For Instance, a juggler ante plc•
fared keeping a dozen or two hails or
bottles in the air at one time, or a
camper can be pictured with two
skillets, flipping a dozen flapjacks
at one shot. 021 both these pictures,
the objects to appear in the air
would be cut from black paper or
cardboard and pinned to the sheet
at proper points,
The sheet must bo stretched
overtly, 49 wrinkles will show to't11e
pictures. Lighting behind the sheet
should Wart be as even ae 1)051(11110,
Five feel is a suitable distance from
tamps to sheet,
Three sixty -watt inside -frosted elec-
tric bulbs will provide enough light
to give good results with tive-second
time exposures, using a box camera
with its lens at widest opening, or
other cameras at lens atop ell, To
slop movement when pets or email
children are appearing in 511110111311e,
use a flash bulb behind the sheet, Or,
with two or three large size flood
bulbs snapshots can be taken.
When using the flash bulb, some-
one can flash it at the correct me -
meet at an "okay" Blgnal from the
person operating the camera, There
should be sufficient light, from un-
shaded regular household bulbs, be-
hind the sheet for the "cameraman"
to see the silhouetted images and
to know when to give his "okay"
signal,
When the nllhouotte is snapped,
of coarse, all lights must be turned
off in the room which contains the
camera and subject. einem this 15
done, detail in the subject will show,
spoiling the silhouette effect, The
photographer should also be watch-
ful of stray light from windows, and
mirrors which might catch light
from the i11u1ninated sheet and
throw it toward the shadow side of
the subject,
