BARGAIN. We propose to share this saving with our customers. This stock consists of everything known to the curtain world. There i a high order of value among every article which is repre
sented in this sale, indicating unmistakably the artistic sense of the designers and the rare skill of the manufacturers. The prices we quote are a sure evidence that they must have been bought
far below regular value. Coming at thi3 season, when these goods are in greatest demand, this sale will be a great benefit to the purchaser. Those who often wait for the end of the season's sales
will save money by buying now, as the prices are much lower than one can ever hope to secure by waiting.

Difficulties Encountered in Work of Picturing Babies as They Are
N
EW TORK. May 4. Their mother
are not the only persons who be
lieve that all babies are not alike.
Certain photographer! who make
a speciality of taking pictures of
profess to be able to distinguish
In them.
It the most Interesting
babies
marked differences
"I don't consider
kind of work to photograph babies only a
month or two old." said a photographer
who devotes his time exclusively to chil
dren, "but It Is wrong to say that all babies
look alike. I can find even In such young
babies the visible expressions of a decided
personality and I try to grasp those ex
pressions just as I would the more markedly
developed traits of older children.
"Photographing babies is difficult when
they are too young to take notice of what
Is going on. The picture of the baby lying
to the light, which creates for the photog
rapher the problem of doing justice U the
features while the full light is not on the
face.
"Babies are of course difficult to keep
will when they are so young. Nowadays
the plates are so arranged that a very brief
exposure only la needed and a child Is
bound to be still for a second or so, bow
ever, nervous It may be.
"I often find that the older babies are
so much Interested In the toys and other
objects Intended for their diversion that
I have to take all of them out of the room.
The babies become so excited that the
repose necessary for a good picture la out
of the question.
"I had a pair of twins In her yesterday
whose eyes almost popped out of their
heads from excltment when they looked
In tae atelier.
Then there are
the familiar sur
roundings to give
attractiveness to
the picture.
"A ithoughl
may be accused
of speaking in re
straint of trade,
I must say that
I think I picture
of a baby not
more than a
month old Is
rather an u .
necessury in
vestment. I have
been told how
appreciable the
difference In bu
t!v rvy be an

of the difficulties of Ukit.g such photo- keeping them amused. They were so

"The average baby of such tender age " dj-i thing with them.
"We sometimes take babies' pirtur"
cannot stand the ll(ht necessary to take
a good photograph, and when exposed to
It Immediately shuts Its eyes, or at least
wrinkles Ihim up so that the hole expres
sion of the face U changed. They are
usually Uuten therefore ltn their backs
here, although they are more frequently
made In the baby's home, tt la quite
possible to get light enough la the average
room and the autject is much more likely
ta be yulet and natural at home thaa here
ax the ui others r...w them, -u I. Is
significant that the very young bab'es that
are bruujht to me are almost Invariably
first-born children. By the time the second
child comes the parents are willing to wait
until he or she is lutnewhkt rl:er for the
puotograi h."
The baby shown In the photograph of
the automobile was not so posed with the
idea at making a cute or catching picture.
.'h. e -oniea frotn
'lie child In the atui
eiaracterltlc cf
tally's f ifi' r is on ardent avto
moMUst and the hl!J inniia more of his
time In an nu'o-uoblle than any Infant of
his f;e ever did bif.ire His father and
ni'ilhr 1:1 ed to f.- him In a motor, and
wen the time came for his pict ire to b
taken they wanted him In ftinilii.r sjr
roundlngs. This explains his presence In
the motor.
The tedency In rhotrgrsi.hing very young
children Is to avoid anything that does not
appear perfectly natural and unaffected.
The difference In present styles and th'we
of a deca le ago was show n by a group of
pictures made some yers ago by an up
lowi. I hot rjphf r.
There ti half a dusen thot jgrahs of
:''-?r.nt ihiidrer. hlcl. wer .egsrded .-.s
i-e.fectly lovely in their time. Dne oaby
has a alde-hrlmmed straw hat artistically
torn about the edges md almost falling off
her head. A broad ribbon lioMs It.
Another baby, lesH than a year old, stands
In a storm with bare feet and only an un,
brella to ward off pneumonia and other
Ills. Another baby was p.otected from the
falling snow only by a Urge muff.
"These were children's portraits," said
the photographer who had collected theiu,
"and they were regarded in their day as the
last word In the art of photography. They
are rather artistic speclmei.s of their kind,
too, when one com:. ares them with some
others that were maje a baby sitting in
a Urge tin water lily, for lostsnce. or
standing In front of a 'ftock of Ages crost.
"let there acre hundreds of people who
thcwt.ni 'i oeauuful .. hav their children
phototraphed In ihat way."
The only babies photographed as a mat
ter of rourte when they are a month or
two old are the children of royalty. They
are put before the camera by the end of
the first month or two of their existence
In order that they niay be shown to tbe'r
faithful subjects. The picture of the Csare
wlch was taken when he was little more
than two morths old.
In the case of these photographs there
Is practically bo variety In pose. Babies
of royal birth can evidently be photo
graphed only on a pillow with richly em
broidered covers under them and lace to
cover up tnetr royal little feet. There Is
nothing distinctively national In any of
these counterfeit ireaenUseuta of prlnce-
'Bablfs behav themselves well as a
rule." said one photographer who takes a
great many of them, "but it Is not to be
denied that auch work does take It out of
one. This morning I took two babies to
gether. Both mothers were In the studio
and It required a fearful clatter and bang
to keep the babies from looking as solemn
as undertakers. We had to bang on tam
bourines, ring bells and jump around to
keep anything like an expression of cheer
fulness on thfclr faces.
"When I had finally photographed them
and put the mothers out of the atelier, I
felt perspiration rolling down my face an!
was not fit to do any more work that day.
I don't mind them so long s they are old
enough to wait for the little bird to come
out of the camera. When they oann
understand that much children are very
hard to photograph."
The happy expressions that many photog
raphers strike In pictures of children Is a
matter of lucky chance. They may have
to wait a long time before they get a bat y
while he Is smiling and this necessity f r
pntlence makes the tark of taking the
baby's picture more extended thaa the
tuk cf photographing the adult
