paratus OF frst-class gallery.
Professor Draper made an exposure
of only thirty seconds. Then he closed
the camera and hurried to the dark
room to develop the plate. AS a matter
Of fact, all he really hoped to get
was proof that an instantaneous ex-
pOSure" was feasible.
But 1t was an excellent likeness.
In fact il was so excellent that most
OF the people to whom 1t was shown
were entirely skeptical and did not
hesitate to accuse the photographer
of using the pencil Of the artist to sup
ply the deficiencies of the camera.
However, Professor Draper Obligingly
repeated the experiment many times
with unvarying success. Moreover he
wrote several articles for the maya
zines of the day, giving full details.
Finally the doubters were convinced.
Not only were the doubters con-
WINGED but they demanded photographs
of themselves and their wives and
their sweethearts. Soon there was
such a demand for daguerreOtypes
that Draper and Morse opened q pho
tograph gallery. This was certainly
the first in America and probably the
first in the world.
With Professor Morse in Europe IN
1889 was Matthew B. Brady (1S2+
1880. He was a precocious boy OF
fifteen, an employee Of A. T. Stewart,
New YOrk's merchant prince" When
Professor Draper produced his "instan-
taneous photograph" Brady saw his
opportunity. He quickly established
gallery on Broadway. He was sue
cessful from the start. In 1851 he
took a prize at the London worlds
fair. When the Civil war broke out
he was BRADY, the Photographer"
with worldwide fame and galleries In
New York and Washington.
When the Civil war broke out Brady
started out with a horse and buggy
and a camera to photograph ii. He
was in the thick of the first battle
of Bull Run. That night he blundered
into the New York fire department
zouaves. He was on foot, but he still
had his negatives. The zouaves gave
him a sword, which he strapped on
outside of his linen buster and so
made his way to Washington. In max
ing his wanderful collection of Civil
war pictures, he spent the fortune he
had made as photographer. In Wash
ingtOn, owned by Levin COrbin Handy,
a nephew, is a collection of 10000
Brady negatives. Nearly every one
is the portrait of celebrity. Edward
VII is there. So are Andrew Jackson
and Edgar Allen Poe and Sam Houston
and Santa Anna and ]. ]. Audubon.
The index reads like catalogue of the
worlds greatest Of the Nineteenth CEN
fury.
Brady, the worlds most famous
photographer, died in the Presbyteri-
an hospital, New York, a poor man.

er something of the beauty Of the
many household decorations that are
made of paper. There is an amazing
number of things with which the cOun-
tenance of a room may be so changed
that 1t is transformed. And there are
many small permanent furnishings
that are made at home of paper, pos
sessing as much beauty and more In
diyidual charm than those same things
rs found in the shops. Lamps and
lampshades, candle-bolders and candle
shades, wall panels, pOrtieres, vases,
baskets and small lanterns or electric

these the home-maker and the hostess
add many pretty ornaments, as Occa-
sion calls for them, that have their
brief and beautiful day and are re-
placed by something new.
In the picture above decorations
for a table are shown, together with
a shade for electric lights. The rose

sage, What hath God wrought"
John William Draper (lSII-lSS2)
was born near Liverpool, England, and
came TO America in 1881. He gradu-
ated in medicine In 1896 from the
University Of Pennsylvania. He took
the chair Of chemistry and natural his
tory in the University Of New York
In 1899. In 1S4l he became professor
Of chemistry in the medical depart-
ment Of the university.
So, yOu see, in 1889, when Daguerrs
made his announcement of the first
photograph, Morse and Draper were
colleagues in New York university.
Morse was Interested in photography
through his portrait painting and I'm
chemistry through his telegraph on
which he was working. Draper was
interested in photography through his
chemical investigations.
What more natural, then, that Morse
should hasten to write Draper OF
Daguerre's success in taking a photo
graph In a camera? Moreover. Morse
gave q full account of Daguerre's
process. He and Daguelre were
friends, the Frenchman having tray
eled in America, exhibiting "dissolving
views"
Draper studied Morse's account. He
quickly saw changes that could be
made In the process to shorten the
exposure Of minutes TO seconds. These

Then he asked his sister to sit for

in the costume fashionable among New
York bellies Of the day and climbed
with her brother TO the roof of the

shining in full summer glare.
Draper first covered his sisters face
with a thick coating Of white. Then

The principle Of the ultra-micrO-

examined. II Is sent horizontally into
the liquid at right angles to the line Of
visiOn-from the side. Then. II the
liquid is OFFICIALLY empty-if II has no
floating particles-there Is nothing to
reflect the light, and the field Of vision
appears quite dark.
II, on the other hand. tiny particles
are present in the liquid. the light Is
reflected, and the minute points OF
light stand out against the dark back
ground, making the particles visible.

livery woman seeks distinction in

TNNEh1 woman seeks dlStlnclOn IN
n dress, and Is especially pleased
when she discovers a suit that
may justly lay claim to it, for suits
must possess considerable stability In
style. They are worn oftener and
longer than other kinds of apparel,
and much is demanded of them. They
are required to vary accepted modes
by ingenious differences, without go
ing to any extremes; they must be
conservative in order to be refined,
they must be spirited enough to escape
being commonplace. and in most cases
a youthful flavor is demanded of them.
The task Of choosing one that will full
fill all these obligations promises to be
easier than ii has been, for fall suits
are shown I'm greater variety than for
some seasons.
The launching of several distinctly
different silhOuettes and their accept
ance gives one a choice in coats that
vary much in outline. In length they
range all the way from finger tip to
those that reach almost to the bottom
of the skirt. One may choose a model
with a slim, clOse-fitting body and
long waist, having a ruffled skirt set
on. Or the choice may fall upon the
