"I bollovo photography to lo 11 ihio
Bold for women. Tho trouble is tlio
nverngo young girl In not willing to
work. It reqttiri'fl pernisitcnt, earnest
labor to becomo 11 good photographer,"
Biiiri Miss Catlmrinu Weed llarnes, editor
of'PhoAinerienn Amateur Photographer
ami 0110 of tho foremost nintituurn in thla
country.
Minn IJnrneH. who la a granddaughter of
Thurlow Weed, has taken repeat el prizes
for her work, anil last Hnnnner was in
vited to address tho nniiunl convention
of tho photographer of tho United King
doin, which met in I'dlnburgh. This is
tho llrst timo a woman has been po lion
ored. Tho year before hIio wiih accorded a
Bimilar distinction in being asked to sjieak
boforo tho national professional photog
rapher in convention at HuH'alo.
CATIIAHINK Wr.r.I) HAU.ST.S.
"I took up photography at first for
the pleasure it afforded me. At the
Bimio timo I determined to gain so pro
ficient and practical a knowledgo that I
could get my living by it if I were uver
obliged to do so," said Miss Humes.
"I remember the first camera I had.
When it was sent home, I didn't know
how to set it up, nnd I had to follow tho
directions and experiment for about nn
hour beforo I got it into shniio. Then I
didn't know which end to look into.
But I worked at it till I did. Now I
havo 12 cameras ranging from a lens
of -1 by 5 up to M by 17." ,
"But how could a young woman who ,
wished to inako n living find sale for ,
groups mich as you tuko'r" asked her vis- f
iter. "Now, for instance, this charming
peries of three pictures, tho well known 1
'Enoch Arden' groups, which called forth
80 much upi'lauso nt the Washington ,
convention I .it summer and would alon
havo placed on in the front rank of ar
tistic photographers. How could one who
did even as lino work as that find a mar-,
ket for it? When is it in demand?"
"Firms who get up photogravure illus-,
tratious for publishers and the publish-,
crs themselves will buy such pictures. 1
"Hut thero are other ways by which a
woman can earn her living at photog
raphy. Before I speak of them, let mo
first pay a word to the beginner. 1
"Photography is not easy work. The ,
ono who tells you m does not know nny-,
tiling about it. Most easy work is bad 1
work. Of courso any ono can press u
button and make n sua) shot. That p
does very well for amusement, but wo '
nro speaking now of doing work for a .
living. hen I began, I looked at every
plato very carefully and tried to pick ,
out its faults. I got good judges to criti-
ciso it and attempted to do better next 1
timo. Don't lie discouraged at repeated
failures and don't excuho your poor work
by laying it to tho lens. I have seen
better work from a $10 lens thun I havo
from a $100 ono. Of courso tho better
tho materials tho better tho result. But
ouo-half the success lies in tho handling
of tho tools.
"If yon intend to not about tho work
seriously, go to a professional nnd get a
position to do anything ho wishes to put
you nt. Bo content to begin at tho bot
tom of tho ladder, keep your eyes open,
nbsorb nil you cnn. Don't try to push
ahead until you nro cnpablo. Thorough
ly twister tho rudimentary steps of de
veloping and printing. If you aro an
earnest worker, you will continually bo
making new discoveries, which you can
utilize to your own profit nnd tho benefit
of others.
"I beliovo women nro especially adapt
ed to this field of work. A well known
A W
photographer onco told 1110 ho preferred
' to let into his darkroom women niwi
teurs rather than men, as the women
were more apt to cork tho bottles, turn
off tho gas and water and leave things in
good order when they had finished. They
havo tho delicate touch, the artistio feel
ing and tho capacity for taking pains.
I "Hero are some suggestions for wom
en who want to earn a living at photog
raphy: I "Some women hnvo tho artistic in
stinct for M)siug people so as to bring
out their good points. Such a woman
might get a good salary in a gallery for
doing nothing else, or sho might unito
.with a practical photographer and go
Into tho business herself. Again, sho
may havo a peculiar talent for arranging
' groups bo as to inako effectivo pictures.
1 Let her turn that talent into monoy by
! making a specialty of groups. Sho may
1 havo tho patience and tact to bo able to
' get exceptionally good pictures of chil
I drcn. That pays well.
I "In order to be the most successful at
these things, sho should first bo a practi
1 cal plmtogruphi r, so that when anything
is wrong with a plato she niav know
win r I' 1 I." '1 1 s i 1 Miip s I'n
pi I I I ''I I lit
III. ' 1 r I . 1 ,t
. I 1' 1 I t i I f X.' I I Ml It
can inako a IiikuIhoiiio woman positively
ugly, or, if nlnllftilly arranged, an ugly
one almost beautiful.
"Anolhersuggesllon, which I, believe,
is u valuable one, is this: Let a woman
who is 11 gold practical photographer go
to 0110 of tho raisido or mountain resorts
and put up u .shanty, oru tent lfnho can
not do better. Hho can take lii'eresting
bits of tho scenery for visitors to carry
nwny with them. Sho can tako tho pco-
do theinsulves posed artistically, us no
tiucrnut tintypo man has yet done.
Sho can poso her subjects on their fa
vorito rocks, in their mountain paths
or in their boats; perpetuate their pet
bathing suits or natty mountain cos
tumes. Hho can catch tho children dig
ging in tho sand, and tho mothers would
bo suro to buy tho pictures.
"If she bus tho artistio talent to
know when she has a good group or
poso and the practical knowledge of de
veloping her plato properly, I believo
there is money for the enterprising young
woman at summer resorts.
"When she lives within easy distance
of a park or promenade where nurses
come with children, she can get many a
pretty group to bo made Into n salable
picttire.
"I know two young women up in
Maine who are making themselves rich
just by their success in photographing
children.
"There is room in any of the largo
cities for more such women who can
make a specialty of taking babies. Let
them set up their cameras in a neat,
cozy little gallery and advertise that they
will tako photograph of children for
one week free of charge. If their work
is very good, they won't need to adver
tise any more their photographs will do
tho rest.
"In Chicago thero is a young woman
who is an adept at posing people, and
who also takes tho delicate, soft photo
graphs which aro so like engravings.
It didn't take actresses or society wom
en very long to llnd this out, and she now
has all she can do, at good prices too,
"The artistio quality in a photograph
will bring its price, and in this direction
there is an unlimited Held for women."

WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
I'ont lradiinte M'olneli Nliidents at .Iiibni
Hopkins Ciilxernlly.
An institution of learning no linger
honors women when it opens its doors
to students of tho feminine sex. It honors
itself. Tho noble Johns Hopkins univer
sity at Baltimore has nt length thus done
itself credit. Ten years ago a young
lndy friend of my own, a college graduate
and ono of tho most conscientious stu
dents I over know, tried every known
means to induce the Johns Hopkins fac
ulty to admit her to ono of the post
graduato courses. They refused with
alacrity. Furthermore, they went out
of their way to assure her tho day would
never conio when women would sot
foot within tho sacred gates of Johns
Hopkins. My friend did tho next best
thing. Sho swallowed her disappoint
ment, went to Englnnd for tho instruc
tion lier own country denied her and
was obliged to put up with teaching
from Profcstior Huxley, who had no prej
udice at all against women students.
Behold! In tho department of organio
geology Miss Florence Bascom will next
June receive from Johns Hopkins tho
l
degree of Ph. D, doctor of philosophy
the highest a university can bestow.
In December tho faculty of tho univer
bity decided that the graduato depart-
ttiitfitu ulirmtil l, ,,wttii,il vitfrivlnt'l t in
women. Tho trustees guvo permission
bo long ngo as lb77. Tho learned and
conservative faculty hnvo ever since then
been making up their minds to it. But
they have yielded most gracefully at
Inst nnd done honor to themselves and
won tho gratitude of women whoso
gratitude is of a kind that wafts
him who earns it onward to nobler
heights. American women need no
longer leave their own country and go to
tho universities of Pans and London and
Jjitrich to complete their special studies.
They can go to Johns Hopkins and to
Yalo. Dr. G. II. Williams, head of tho
department of geology nt Johns non
kins, nnd Professor Griffin nro tho ones
women must thank for bravo champion
ship of their causo, for it was through
tho efforts of theso two thnt tho happy
chango was brought about. Tho under
graduate courso will not nt present bo
open to women, becauso thero nro al
ready plenty of colleges whero they cnn
obtain tho degreo of bachelor of arts.
Miss Bascom obtained her preliminary I
degreo nt tho University of Wisconsin '
in 1882. Later sho was inndo twister of
nrts by the same institution, of which
her father, Dr. John Bascom, was presi
dent. A proud man that father must be!
Mrs. Martin Footo Crowe is full pro
fessor of English literature in tho mng
nificent Chicago university. Professor
Crowe is ono of tho most learned special
ists of her timo in this department.
From present indications tho scholars,
preachers and col lego professors of tho
20th century will bo women.
Early in the contest tho election of a
Democratic senator in Kansas might
have been predicted by one who watched
tho signs. A dispatch from Topeka
Raid, "A noticeable incident in tho strife
was the conduct of tho Populist wouieu,
1 who crowded into tho statehouso ami
' urged tnemliers to stand firm and defeat
tho Republican party at all hazard."
Remember this mako your own tho
' power of tho purse. Then nnd not till
then can yon stand on an equality with
men.
I Fraulein Heleno Lnngo has succeeded
in waking up even Germany to tho ne
cessity of a higher education for women.
Sho was educated by a widower father
! with a family of brothers, and conso
( quwitly never knew tho soul killing con
, ventionality which binds German wom
en down with its iron bands.
