With the Photographer I Learn Something About the Latest Methods of Rearranging the Face -By STEPHEN LEACOCK-' "I want my photograph taken," I said. The photographer looked at me without enthusiasm. He was a droop ing man in a gray suit, with the dim eye of a natural eclentist. But there is no need to describe him. Every body knows what a photographer looks like. "Sit there,” he said, “and wait." I waited an hour. I read the La dies Companion for 1912, the Girls Magazine for 1902 and the Infants Journal for 18S8. I began to see that 1 had done an unwarrantable thing In breaking in on the privacy of this man's scientific pursuits with a face like mine. After an hour the photographer opened the inner door. "Come In." he said seterely. I went into the studio. "Sit-down," said tho photographer. I sat down in a beam of sunlight filtered through a sheet of factory rot ton hung against a frosted skylight. The photographer rolled a machine Into the middle of the room and crawled Into it from behind. He was only In it a second—just time enough for one look at me— and then he was out again, tearing at the cotton sheet and the window panes with a hooked stick, apparent ly frantic for light and air. Tlie Photographer Sighs. Then he crawled back Into the ma chine again and drew a little black cloth over himself. This time he waa very quiet in thera. I knew that ha was praying and I kept atlll. When the photographer came out at last, he looked very grave and shook his head. "The face is quite wrong," ha said. "I know," I answered quietly; "I have always known it." He sighed. "I think." he said, "the face would be better three-quarters full.” "I'm sure It would." I said enthu siastically, for I was glad to find that tho man had such a human aide to him. "So would yours. In fact,” I continued, "how many faces one sees that are apparently hard, narrow, limited, but the minute you get them three-quarters full they get wide, large, almost boundless in—" But the photographer had ceased to listen. He came over and took my head in his hands and twisted It side uays. I thought he meant to kiss me, and I rlosed my eyes. But 1 was wrong. He twisted thy fare as far as It would go and then stood looking at it. He sighed again. "I don't like the head.” he said. .Mouth, Eyes and Ears. Then he went hark to the machine and took another look. “Open the mouth a little," he said. T started to do so. "Close It,” he added quickly. Then he looked again. "Thp ears are bad.” he said, "droop them a little more. Thank you. Now the eyes. Boll them in under the lids. Put the hands on the knees, please, and turn the fare just a little upward Yes, that's better. Now just expand the lungs! So! And hump the neck—that's it—and just con tract tho waist—ha!—and twist the hip lip toward the elbow—now I still don't quite like the face, it's Just a trifle too full, hut—" I swung myself round on the stool. “A Moment of Animation.’' "Stop," I said with emotion, but. I think, with dignity. "This face is iny face. It is not yours. It is mine. I've lived with it for over 40 years and I know its faults. I know it's out of drawing. I know it wasn't made for me, but it's my face, the only one i have—” 1 was conscious of a break In my voice but I went on—"such as it is, I've learned to love it. And this is my mouth, not yours. These ears are mine, and if your machine Is too nar row—” Here I started to rise from the seat. Snick! The photographer had pulled a string. The photograph taken. I could see the machine still staggering from the shock. ^ "i think,” said the photographer, pursing his lips in a pleased smile, "that I caught the features just in a moment of animation.” “So!” I said bitlngly,—"features, eh? You didn't think I could ani mate them, I suppose? Hut let me see the picture." "Oh. there's nothing to see yet." he said. "I Itave to develop the nega hair away from the brow. T don t like the hair low on the skull.” "Oh. you don't don't you?' 1 said. "No,” he went on, "I don’t care for it. I like to get the hair clear bark to the superficies and make out a new brow' line.” As to Superfluous Ears. "What about the mouth?" I said with a bltternoss that was lost on the photographer! "Is that mine?” “It's adjusted a little,” he said, “vours is too low. I found I couldn't use it.’ "The cars, though,” T said, "strike me as a good likeness; they’re Just like mine.” "Yes," sail) the photographer thoughtfully, "that's so; but I can fix that all right in the print. We have a process now—the Sulphide— for removing the ears entirely. I'll see if—” "Listen," I Interrupted, drawing myself up and animating my features to their full extent and speaking with a withering scorn that should have I tive first. Come back on Saturday and I'll let you see a proof of it." Primping I p I lie Kyes. On Saturday I went back. The photographer beckoned me In. I thought he seemed quieter ajid graver than before. I. think, too, there was a certain pride In his man ner. lie unfolded the proof of a large photograph, and we both looked at it in silence. "Is it me?" I asked. "Yea," he said quietly, "it is you.” and we went on looking at it. "The eyes." I said hesitatingly, don't look very much like mine." "Oh, no,' he answered. "I've re touched them. They come out splen didly, dont they?" "Pine." J said, "but surely my eye brows are not like that?” "No," said tha photographer, with a momentary glance at my face, "the eyebrows are removed. We have a process now—the Delphlde—for put ting in new ones.
