— A body of scientists recently discussed the age at which a child is most interesting. The general opinion finally fixed on two years as the time when the unfolding .from babyhood to childhood exhibits the most constant and pleasant surprises. In connection with this scientific opinion it is notable that photographers re'gard two years as the worst a_ge to take a portrait picture. A younger child will, to an extent, remain quiet, and so can bo photographed; a child above that age respects such directions as "Keep still for just a minute." Tho little two-year-old, however, has all the alertness and activity of youth without being able to see the wisdom of listening to the artist's request.
