The most satisfactory pW-e 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 u- u U j ctrrangeiuents, and the fact that it is a ! strange place, makes it hard to get a j natural, and impossible to get a lively or : jolly portrait. The best results are ob ! tained by the Kodak, for the roll films, I developed in the Kodak Tank I'evelop J ins JUachine are in every way superior to those produced in the old way. -"> nd I then there's the great convenience oi" no i dark room being required.
