She is, moreover, bright and clever and extremely vivaclous—all ele- ments that go far toward developing per- fect results in the art of posing. But I may as well say at once that this is Miss Davenport’s own pose, assumed quite un- consciously while conversing pleasantly. The was in reality nothing left for the photographer to do but to take a snap ehot without unnecessary delay. Only a photographer, indeed, can realize what'a labor it would be to attempt to pose like this were the subject not fitted to it by all the arts of culture and personal charm. There is character to the very finger tips. The gown {tself is a rare creation.. In short, it is a picture that is as rare in photography as it is beautiful. :
