There are fads in photography, juet as in everything elae. When the Tril- by erase was on lot of irresponsible Ctrla insisted upon having their feet photographed. A shapely hand, hoi, I- Ing a flower, also had a certain vogue for awhile. Now women are pominK to have pictures of their eyes taken. I'erhaps this is not so absurd a it seems at first thought, for tbe ye Is usually the mont expressive fea- ture of the human face. The camera Is placed very clone to the sitter, and Is focused so thai the features are much niive prominent t Inn in the or- dinary photograph. When the pic- tures are mounted all but the strip crone the syes is cut away, showing the yee and tine tvidige of the nose, "I can't say thai tine effwt is> very artistic," said a photographer, yes- terday, " but tbe women who have their eyes photographed, all see.ni pleased with the result. They claim that their friends when shown the pic- ture, are able, to tell at once whom yes they are. But I frankly confess that, personally, I don't like it." OUTDOOR LIFE FOR TIIK CIIIL- IWK.V.
