'X - .v - l WHOEVER ld that photography Is an art that has been developed only In tho last lew years ta gainsaid by the fact that a great num ber of the studies of children made by the man behind the camera score of years aico have never been equaled In exquisite poe and naturalness- True, photography has leaped with tremend ous strides, until the actual making of pictures has become an art. but the xlmple quiet atmosphere of the pic tures of earlier days seems to have quite departed with the coming of the newer methods. The results were. n variably charmlnfr even In the petu lant little "scared" faces that showed In every line how thoroughly a bore was the event of "belns took." Most of us still have kept our al bums that family skeleton which Is only or suited out occasionally, and which In many of the best families has ceased to rattle his bones at alL In the forgotten box of odds and ends or a cheat upstairs: or aa Is often the rase treasured because of memories sweet, are old-time photographs of the sort which cause the entire family to aay when a train of chance brings them to light. "For goodnees sake where, did that come from? Would ou ever know that was Intended for me?" But In view of the fact that nearly every per son cherishes an Interest In photo graphs of earlier days, when belles and beaux poeed In all their grandeur of glad raiment, the -picture-taking man" will, with the co-operation of prominent Portland members of society, present for The Oregonian's readers' delectation a series of pictures that posse" the charm of artistic value and the per sonal Interest that attaches because of the prominence of the subjects. Ky no means must this series be con founded with the daguerreotype age. That day of "look pleasant, please." or TH you want to be taken sideways or frontways?" bad departed many moons before, with Its train of crinolines, huge enveloping shawls, drooping ring lets and lockets, chains and earrings, that marked old-fashioned daguerreo types. Clone, too, as the likeness of hMutlfully-groom-d men posed In care less attitude, with crossed feet stand ing against a large velvet chair, one hand clutching stiffly at a book and the other poked Into the recesses made by the top and second buttons of their iml Vanished, too, were the ladles with aylph-Iik its and wlde vpreadlng skirts, who posed invariably seated, with their hands draped In apparent carelessness all over the arms of a generou hair-cloth settee. A new era of photography had come In and pictures were works of beauty: a wit ness of which wlil be the series pre sented on this pane. Following the round of pre-hollday gaieties, fortland society appears from the caJenilar of events lnit week, to hve taken over the prerogatives of tha New Year and "sworn off on enter taining of any sort.
