It is riot to be wonderet, at mat such libels on the human iaoe j upid 1 v went out of lasliun, to be replaced by the enlarging of natural cliecrlyl- snaps such as every Amateur and does “take” anySda.v of tip week, ft is remarkable enawiling pictures man Hie from wotk i ffl Sted&T’qin%erlmn# 1 %h-y l*>” scss tf f in r. po®tE jlpftraftfaiftl also for the reasom/that fAlkfwlrfc/submit to being snapped are lit such happy lm'oti i heir expression lacks fixity. If you have any pretty or interesting photos— lovely .spots in the garden, pots in arresting attitudes, of unusually delightful studies of the children that would make good enlargements—you cannot do belter than lake them to T.vernian’s. where a Gained staff with the' most modern equipment in t.ie Bay is specialising in tins work.
