THE OLD DAoUERREoTYPE.
Its Introduction Into America Gave
Impetus to New
Business.

AS soon as Daguerre's process be-
came well enough known In America
for practice, scientific men and, in
fact, call sorts and conditions Of men, :"
attempted to produce the wonderful
pictures. Many homemade and very
primitive kinds Of apparatus were en-
ployed In the experiments, including
the cigar box with spectacle lens. If
the operator succeeded in producing
an impression that could be seen, II
was carried about and shown as a
great success, says Abraham Bogar-
dus, In The Lost Art OF the Daguer-
reotype," in Century
There were several claimants for
making the first portrait by the
process. A Mr. Wolcott made the
claim, and Mr. Joseph Dixon, by let
ters and other evidence, claimed that
the first picture was his, for which, it
was said. Mrs Dixon sat with pow
dered face in full sunshine Is min
utes.
In March, 1910, Messrs. Walcott and
Johnson opened a gallery In New
York. and, announcing their readiness
to execute portraits from life, solicited
patronage. This was the first
daguerreotype gallery in the world.
Other places were soon opened. The
laguerreotype, although considered de-
sirable as a curiosity, was not popular.
on account of the length OF time re-
quired for a sitting, which varied ac-
cording TO the time of day and the
strength Of the light. II was seldom
attempted on a cloudy day. The sit
ter must have full command Of his ex-
preston and remain perfectly sthl for
from one to three minutes to be sue
cessful in getting a likeness distinct
enough to be recognized
The daguerreotype was made on
pure metallic silver surface. After be-
ing perfectly cleaned. and made sensi-
tive with a rough bun, 1t was coated
In darkened room with the vapor of
iodine, then placed in the camera, and
exposed before the sitter through the
lens. II was still kept from the light,
and placed over the fumes of hot mer-
curry, where the image developed

CHINESE AS BANK CLERKS
Their Methods Appear Primitive Yet
Their Calculation Is Rapid
and Accurate.

China has a way Of getting hold OF
some Of the first principles OF things,
even though she may not have deYel-
oped them into elaborate and scien-
tihc systems The method Of calcu-
ation used in the Chinese banks may
seem primitive to the foreigner; never
theless II is carried on with rapidity
and accuracy, says Youths Companion.
An English officer, staying In Hong
Kong. tells of his visit to one Of the
banks
AS an Englishman he was received

The officer wanted a large piece OF
money changed into small coin. In
stead Of going through the WEAKNESS
involved in counting out the 300
pieees included in this transaction, a

ployed. A fat, wooden tray was pro
duced containing 100 recesses, each
lust big enough to lodge one coin and
lust shallow enough TO prevent the
possibility OF two lurking together
The pile Of small coins poured out
on this tray, and with one Jerk Of the

Amuscmcnts

The appearance in this city tonight
of Robert Mantell assisted by Miss
Marie Booth Russell and fine com
pany, in his new play, will undoubted-
ly be the theatrical event of the
season. Mr.. Mantell stars this season
under auspices and conditions never
before attained by this distinguished
actor.
His management has surrounded
him by not only the strongest com
pany of romantic actors on the Amer
lean stage but has given his new play
"The Light of Other Days." an en-
vironment which for pictorial and
historical illustration has never been
equalled by other than a spectacular
production.
Mr. Mantell's abilities as a star are
too well known to require expatia-
ton, while his latest success is said
to be the best play in which he has
ever been seen.

A dainty dressing gown is a neces-
sity for a woman Of taste; 1t may be
quite charming and elegant without
losing its useful character. There was
time when there was little choice
between the frivolous peignoir and the
uncompromisingly hideous or gaudy
striped garment. but in these days OF
beautiful and inexpensive fabrics
there is no excuse for anyone to wear
unbecoming colors. Something serv-
iceable" means to many people
chiefly an absence of color. A deep.
rich shade, however, looks clean and
fresh much longer than a nondescript
or dingy hue. The prevailing color OF
the bedroom should be taken into con-
sideration when choosing a dressing
gown. 1t is no more trouble to choose
the right shade and secure harmony
in your room. A simple gown of fine
serge or amazon cloth. with border
of galloon. is pretty and is very easily
made.

restore them to an Immaculate condt'

the dainty woman. In cut they are al
most facsimiles of those worn during
the summer. save that heavier laces
are used, cluny. guipure and the lately
revived crepon being favorites. These
laces are used as insertion rather than
In appliques. and in many OF these
blouses the lace is also deliberately en-
broidered in floral designs in plumetis

A great many shirtwaists and shirt
waist suits are made with the round
or Dutch neck. The neck is finished
with cording or with little frill or
ruffie. This is shirred around the
throat and the waist is trimmed to
match. For day wear these necks are
never low enough to show the throat,
but the whole of the neck is exposed.
The fastening is quite simple, consist
ing of little pearl button at the back
and the effect is charmingly girlish.
For evening the neck can be a little
rounGer and slightly more inclined to
reveal the lines of the throat and neck,
but they should not by any means be
low. With this style of neck the neck
lace. be 1t fur or feathers. or be 1t
made Of chiffon rufIles, is a necessity,
ard from the minute the first fall
breeZes blow 1t should be worn. The
round neck in the street is only pretty
in midsummer, not by any means in
the fall and winter. The best finish
is little frill of lace or narrow mus
lin ruffie. and II the gown be very nice
the lace frill can be made of valen-
ciennes lace or of any other fashion
able lace. but the finish must be sim.
