If you should suggest to auy amateur photo jrauhers the idea of taking portra t- of children, you would find that instead of mei-ting the suggestion with enthusiasm, they would exhibit something very much like panic, yet those wlio have made a practice of photographing children, say that not only are they more attractive subjects for photography than adults, but also they are quite as easy to manage and arrange if tney are rightly handled; they are less conscious of their loois when in front of the camera, and far more naturally graceful and adaptable, From 3 to 6 years is the best age for picture taking, then little folks Hre full of imagination and fancy, and they are as playful and pnconscious as kittens. The most satisfactory place for making a picture of a child is at home, and that is where the amateur photographer has an advantage over the professional. At the studio all the uml arrangements, and the fact that it is a strange place, makes it hard to get a natural, and impossible to get a lively or jolly portrait. The best results are obtained by the Kodak, for the roll films, developed in the Kodak Tank Developing Machine are in every way superior to those produced in tlio old way. And then there's the great convenience of no dark room being required. Everyone who photographs or is about to take up photography should at on 'e take advantage of the Imperial Camera Co.'s offer; The Co. will send FREE of any charge whatever, a va'uable illustrated book on photography, containing nearly 3<)o pages.
