Motion Pictures of Children a Fad.

Society women, -who are accustomed to spend from $3,000 to SIO,OOO a year for photographs of themselves and their children have seized on a new phase of this idea. They are taking to motion pictures and the phonograph. They want motion pictures of their children at play or at parties, so they may. have them in after years just as they have their children photographed several times a year to keep until the children are grown up. Likewise they are keeping records of the voices of the children by phonograph. When the time arrives that both the motion pictures and the phonograph can be made to work synchronously the value of the picture and dudltyry records will be increased. The idea of society women at present is to take moving pictures of their children and to show them at Christmas time or on occasions when the members of the family are gathered together. The fad, of course, is somewhat expensive, but society women have taken to it.
