Hobby Made of Cameras and Horses Mrs. Dorothy Alford Picks Difficult Kind of Photography. By Elizabeth Carr ACTION pictures of horses, one of the most difficult types of phonography, form the hobov and joy of diminutive Dorothy Alford, vho is proud of her several successes jn as many attempts to capture the animals in arresting poses. Mrs. Alford, the only woman in the state to make this type of photocraphy her specialty, advises that one must know horses and their temperaments and recognize the critical moment to snap the shutter. A photograph of Audrey Pugh's stallion taken by Mrs. Alford, graced last month's cover of that infant publication, The Hoosier Equestrian, wnich so rapidly is making its way into the homes of horsemen throughout the state. She recently completed pictures for the Arlington show to be held .tune 2, and she showed us snaps of letitia Sinclair, Miss Pugh. J. R McNutt, Linda Hamilton and a charming pose of Gretchen and Barbara Wcmmer, young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William Wemm^r. Mrs. Alford does not limit her hobby to photography, for she may rlaim an adeptness for oils and charcoal work. Paints in Oil The oil painting of Mrs. Frank Hoke's horse, Dresden Lady, which now hangs in Mrs. Alford's tastefully furnished home, was on display at the recent home show. One likeness of Mrs. August Bohlen was made after a brisk morning canter. The subject is dressed in her riding outfit and wears a kerchief around her head. The colors are soft and warm. One form of Mrs. Alford's work combines both photograph and painting—that of wood cutouts. The photographs are painted, mounted first on wood and then on standards, shellaced and cut out. These necessitate a great amount of patience and care. Mrs. Alford uses three-ply wood for these figures, several of which she has about her home. After a visit to the studio of Herman Hoss in New York, where she viewed likenesses of horses and dogs, she became interested in the possibilities of that phase of photogtaphy. Studied With Taflinger She has studied portrait work at the John Herron art institute and this winter has taken figure work and portrait study under Elmer Taflinger. The sun porch of her home affords an attractive workship. but Mrs. Alford confesses she finds too many distractions here, and is looking forward to the future when she will have a small studio at Laurel hall. She is planning to convert an old blacksmith's shop into a studio living room, where she may set up her easel and arrange her work. In her spare time Mrs. Alford contributes to the Kentucky Horseman. a Lexington publication, and the Saddle and Bridle, horse magazine of St. Louis, Mo. She plans to attend a horse sale next w-eek in Lexington. Joan and Mary Jane. 7 and 11-yrar-old daughters, have not as yet taken up their mother's interest in riding. It's still a hobby for Mrs. Alford, but she hints that at some time she may make it business, and confesses she will be glad w-hen her "spring housecleaning’’ is finished, so she may plan curtain and furnishings for her little "hide-a-way.”

Six Honored for Work in Genealogy American Institute Lists City Residents for Recognition. BY HELEN LINDSAY. SIX Indianapolis genealogists have been honored by being listed among leading active genealogical researchers in the United States, in The, Handbook of American Genealogy. The book recently was issued by the Institute of American Genealogy of Chicago. The local persons listed include

fa JM

Mrs. Bernays Kennedy, 5335 North Meridian street; David Goodwin Knapp. 151 Downey avenue; Rivers Andrew Peterson, editor of the Hardware Retailer; Mrs. \dolph Schmuck. now compiling a history of the descendants of Abner Thorp; Mrs. Theodore D Craven, 1433

Mrs. Lindsay.

Bellefontaine street, and Miss Anna Eleeta Turrell, 1432 College avenue. The honor accorded these Indianapolis genealogists gives them access to the extensive lineage files of the National Clearing House for Genealogical Information, as well as professional contact with genealogists in 1.984 cities in more than a thousand counties throughout the United States, and in twenty-nine foreign countries. Aid to Organizations Members and prospective members, as well as registrars of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames and other hereditary-patriotic societies, will be interested in the wider scope of contact that these persons will have, because it will make possible necessary genealogical research to qualify for membership without outside aid. More than six, thousand volumes on genealogy are maintained in the Indiana state library, in addition to 1.500 volumes at the Indianapolis public library, among which are the standard genealogical reference books. During the filming of his latest picture, "The House of Rothschild,’* George Arliss followed his usual custom of having tea served to him on the set each afternoon at 4. It is an Arliss tradition in Hollywood. and is a part of every contract he signs that this custom be followed. Although Mr. Arliss has been acting on the stage and in motion pictures in America for thirty-three years, he clings to many of his English cu/Joms. Commenting on the tea-drinking habit of his country, Mr. Arliss gave the formula by which his valet, Jenner, prepares the brew for him. “I am told.” Mr. Arliss said, “that many Americans prepare their tea by dangling little clusters of leaves; tied up in cheese-cloth, into hot water! This is simply barbarous!” Arliss Method Given The method which Jenner uses, and which has become a part of a solemn ritual on the lot where Mr. Arliss is working, is imperative. In the first place, the teapot, which must, never be metal, is scalded with boiling water, so that it will not allow the tea to be made in it to cool too rapidly. A quick change of temperature, Mr. Arliss believes, effects the brewing of tea, though he admits it is helpful to the flavor if, when making iced tea. It is cooled rapidly after it is made. Because of this, the suggested method for making iced tea is to pour hot tea into a glass full of cracked ice. rather than by letting the tea cool slowly to a tepid temperature. and thus becoming stale. After the pot is scalded, a quantity of tea leaves, depending on the size of the pot, is put in the bottom, loose. Then boiling water, which has just that moment ceased from bubbling, is poured over them, allowed to stand for perhaps thirty seconds, and then poured into the cup through a strainer.
