If you should suajgest to any amateur photograi)hers the idea of taking portra ts of children, you would find that instead of meeting the suggestion with enthusiasm, they would exhibit something very much like panic, yet those who 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 i easy to manage and arrange if tney are I rightly handled; they are less conscious ot their looks when in front of the camera, and far more naturally graceful and adav table, From 3 to 6 years is the best age for picture taking, then little folks ure lull of imagination and fancy, and they are as playful and unconscious as kittens. The most satisfactory place for making a picture of a child is at home, and that is where the amateur pho- , tographer has an advantage over the professional. At the studio all the usual arrangements, and the fact that it is a strange place, makes it hard to get a natural, and impossible to get a uwiy.oi:. jolly portrait. The best results aire obtained by the Kodak, for the roll films, developed in the Kodak Tank Developing Machine are in every way superior to those produced in ths old way. And then there's the great convenience of no dark room being required.
