The photographer will proba- bly advise you to schedule your appointment at least three weeks before the wedding, es- pecially if you want to see your picture in the local paper

REST NEEDED

The photographer will take care of the picture. You must take care of your appearance. Get a good night's rest the night before the picture taking. Wear

On the day of the portrait, the

big secret is to relax. Some pho- tographers even suggest the bride will be more comfortable if she takes off her shoes during the picture taking. Few bridal portraits include the feet.

When Mrs. Mary R. Greene, who helps us test recipies, of-

for friends, she decided that she would like to base it on

one for frosting—that are ex- tremely popular at our house- The cake has delectable, light- but-rich sponge-type layers: the frosting is a heavenly butter cream. So successful was Mrs Greene's cake, that some of the wedding guests treid to per- suade her to bake it on order! Recently Mrs. Greene dupli- cated this wedding cake in our kitchen, using an inexpensive three-tier cake pan set. She bak- ed the layers one day and frosted them the next. For real —not test!—use, you could bake the cake layers two days be- fore the wedding, frost them | the day before and refrigerate your chef d'oeuvre overnight. This 3-tier cake uses 22 egg yolks; the frosting uses 6 égg) | whites. We stored the remain-| ing egg whites, in individual) batches, in our freezer to use—!

Camera good extra companion to take on honeymoon trip

Two may be company on a honeymoon trip but there’s a third companion that can stretch that trip through the years — a camera.

Here are some tips on how te get the most’ out of your camera

so that your honeymoon pictures |,

will be a joy to you.

Shoot a test roll of film or two at home This is important if you have a new camera. K will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with it or, if the camera is an old one; to see if it’s in working order.

Buy plenty of film before- hand. Keep your camera pro- tected against dust, sun and scratches. Include in your cam- era-case a notebook so you can jot down facts to link together pictures and places.

If you're trying to shoot gome- thing like the Grand Canyon or the New York skyline, rememb- er that your eye sees more than the camera lens. So concentrate on one portion of the scene and compose your picture carefully.

If you're trying to take pictur- es from a moving vehicle, hold your camera close to the wind- ow to reduce reflection but don’t actually touch the window. Vib- ration will cause camera move-

tures, For the same reason, don’t use a window frame or the back of a seat as an arm rest. Cradle the camera in your hands

Employ ingenui

,and steady it by bracing your

arms against your body. When moving, shoot as the scene is directly approaching or
