Colors for Spring.
Tills coming spring is to be character
ized by some of the most retnarkablo
things in the way of wraps that New
York has over seen. For one thing,
color will run riot in theso. No more
plitin black or dark blue or gray little
coats, but yellow, if you please, the most
brilliant, "stceped-in-sunshino 3'eilow.
Or, if'not that, u laiHh coat of bright
scarlet, with a white vest and gold
braid, and gold cords and buttons. Or
white broadcloth or corduroy, fitting ns
snugly as the bodice, with vest of gold
braiding anil high epaulets. And hussar
coats of bright blue, and short Spanish
coats of pale gray cloth, lined and
slashed with scarlet. Or, oven more
likely to be worn than all these, tire the
circular cavalier capes, reaching below
tho waist, very full and very straight,
and gathered tit tho neck into a very
high collar.
Theso will bo of till colors and cloihs,
lined witlt bright silk and finished
about tho edge witli a heavy cord
of silk or Of gold thread. And
then thefts will be more gold or silk
cord. Perhaps it will bo passed about
tho neck, fastening the garment in front
and falling in loops and ends. And
perhaps thero will bo loops of it knotted
on tho shoulders and looped so as to
form epaulets on the shoulders. Theso
are only a Tew of the possibilities. When
they aro developed they will bo certain
to result in the most daring and smart
little garments tho promenades have
ever seen. New York Evening Sun.

INTERESTING INCIDENTS OF THE

There tire some interesting memoirs con
nected with early photography in this
country and city. Photography dawned
on tho world at about tho same time as
telegraphy and at alwttt the same date as
bteain railroadin'. And Morse, the leaditi'
man in the telegraph,' and Dagtterre, the
leatlin' man in the photograph (at first
called the daguerreotype), became personal
friends, and each got interested in the
other's lines a thing which very seldom
happens to that class of people.
Morse, when lie was in Paris tryin' to
push his Mtjhtnln' messages, wa3 intro
duced by Robert Walsh, ot Philadelphia,
the American consul at Paris, to Mons.
Daguerre, who was tryin' to push his sun
pictures. The two men took a great fancy
to each, other, just like two brothers;
showed eacli other their inventions
and told each other their plans. Each
promised to help the other after he had
first helped himself, and each kept his
promise.
Daguerrc never got a chance to be of
much real aid to Morse in Paris, but ho
did what he could all the same talked
enthusiastically tibout the telegraph and
shrugged his shoulders enthusiastically,
ns only a Frenchman can. But Morse,
when ho got back to New York, took hold
of his chum Daguerro's hobby and intro
luced it into the metropolis. The first
telegrapher may thus ho said to have been
the first photographer.
There was at this timo in New York a
fine instrument maker, almost a genius in
his way, called Prosch, who had a shop
In a basement on Xassiu street, a very
curious sort of a place; a den of scientific
odds nnd ends, haunted by odd and scien
tific men. Morse saw Prosch and gave
him a full idea of Daguerre's inventions,
and showed him a plan of tlio apparatus
needed to carry out Daguerro's ideas. He
also gave Prosch an order to make this
apparatus. Proch set to work and mado
a rude affair, which was the first picture
taking apparatus ever made in this coun
try, and turned it over to'Morse. And
then one niornin', a really memorable
mornin', in its way, Morse, with tho aid
of tills rude instrument, took tho first sun
picture or daguerreotype ever taken in
America.
IIo took It off of tho steps leadin' to
Prosch's den. He placed the camera on
tlio steps and got a pretty good picture ot
the old brick church (the Rev. Dr. Spring's
church) opposite to the city hall on the
spot now occupied by the Times news
paper nnd the Potter buildin'. In the
foreground of this picture was a hack, and
its sleepy horse, with its still more sleepy
driver.
This first daguerreotypo or photo
graph was, of course, a primitive affair,
worse than a tintype now, but it was, nev
ertheless, a great, wonderful thing under
the circumstances. It demonstrated that
pictures of the earth and tilings and peo
ple on it, could bo taken by tho aid of tho
sun, just as certainly and truthfully as
Ideas could he transmitted by electricity,
nnd really one fact was almost as import
ant as the other. It was a truly memor
able niornin' in New York when Morse
took the first daguerreotypo off of Prosch's
basement steps, although it then took him
nearly au hour, all in all, to complete tlio
operation.
Professor Draper was a great friend of
Morse, and he got interested in this new
thing. He and Morse experimented to
gether. Draper was great on chemistry.
He soon improved on the original daguerre
otype, and one day lie astonished Morso
by tttkin' his (Morse's) picturo with his
eyes open, giving the natural expression of
the eyes.
This was a big step onward; for at first
all tho pictures taken of human beings
had to bo taken with tlio eyes closed, on
account of the glare. Imagine a pretty
woman sittin' for her picturo and bavin'
not only to hold her tonguo but close her
eyes shut her eyes as well as shut up.
It would ho as hard that way to havo
your picturo taken as your tootli taken.
Draper and Morso used to take their
early pictures from a window of tho old
university buildin', where Morso lived.
One of their successful pictures was tho
tower of the Church of Messiah, about
tlio sizo of a playin' card. Tho first pict
ures were all of 'em pictures of buildin's,
streets and so on. But at last Morse took
ft portrait put tho human face nnd figure
Into a suu picture. This was a step on
ward and upward; for as Morse took his
first object picture on tho steps lendln' to
Prosch's cellar, so ho took his first faco
and figure picturo on top of tho university
buildin', in a sort of a studio ho had
erected there on tlio roof, und which was
tho first, photographic "studio" ever
started in America.
The first lady whoso picturo was ever
taken by the sunlight in this city was the
young daughter ot Professor Morso. Tlio
next lady taken was his daughter's
bosom friend, and tho pictures taken of
theso two are still in existence among tho
ch.ileest curiosities and treasures of Vas
sal1 college.
The first man in New York who made
a regular business of takin' pictures or
photographs was 'the instrument maker
llrosch, whom 1 have already mentioned.
Prosch saw a big thing in it, and opened
what ho called a "tlagucrring gallery" on
tho corner of Libert, street nnd Broad
way. Ills lhf-t sit.. rand customer was
Professor West, of the old Rutgers feinalo
institute, who was thus tho very first
man who ever paid to havo his photograph
taken, all the other pictures up to this
timo bavin' been taken as an experiment,
free.
But tho professor paid for his pictures
like a man, and from that timo on tho
business of lakln' pictures has flourished
in New York. It would niiiko a pho
tographer sick nowadays to think how
Prosch had to get his sunlight for this
first picture. He had to hang a big mir
ror right outside his shop, on Broadway,
so as to reflect the sunlight full on tho
professor's face. New York Mercury In

A BELLE OF LINCOLN'S DAY.
T1miij;li That Win Years Aro, Mrs. Kate
Chiton It still a tteiiutlfiil Woman.
Mrs. Kate Chase sat in a largo easy
chair in tho cosy parlor of a woman geni
us in this city who was entertaining a
fow of her friends. She was the gentlest
of them all. this woman with so remark
able a past gentle nnd still so beautiful.
She wtis dressed in tho deepest black of
tho neatest, most elegant description,
from which tho warm pink glow of the
cheeks and lips, the blondo glints of hair
find occasional rays from the shy, sad
eyes wero the sole relief. She was the
typical lady not the lady of rush and
hustle and advancement, of progress,
platform or jk-ii but tho lady of the
drawing room, the boudoir, tho carriage,
quiet refinement, repose.
Although queenly in appearance when
standing, sho looked rather a little wom
an sitting down. Her form is fine lined,
symmetrical, and just plump enough for
height. Her head has a dignified but
not haughty or aggressive sot on a well
turned neck, not noticeably long. Her
shoulders slope jtut right, with a faint
touch of womanly coquetry in their ex
pression. Tlio lines of bust and waist
are simply perfect, her hands and feet
noticeably small. Her faco is oval in
outline, the flesh looks firm, tho texture
of tho skin is smooth and unspoiled by
make up. Sho is a decided blondo of
that rare class of blonde coloring which
I can ouly describe as "sunset." Her
forehead is rather low and wide, with
slender arched brows and much refine
ment of expression in it.
Her eyes are the most iTifficult in the
world to describe, however, but easy to
illustrate. Yon see but a h;tlf dozen
pairs like them in a lifetime. They are
not large; they havo a "hidden" look
among tho thick dark lashes, find they
havo always a look as if they had been
crying hard without the redness the
most "fetching" eyes on earth, irresisti
ble in youth, suggestive of first love
you doubtless can think of a pair among
vour lady friends. From the cast of her
face one would imagine her noso to be a
straight Grecian, but it litis the slightest
little tip upward wliicli does not in any
way mar the symmetry of outline. Her
lips aro very red and full, with fascinat
ing dints at the corners. Her hair is
massed above her brow in large, loose
rings of gold. A few glints of silver
shade into tho blonde in front of the ears,
without attracting observation.
Her fine black Henrietta cloth dress
was tight fitting and double breasted,
with crepe reveres, cuffs, foot band and
buttons. Her bonnet was close, small,
well set back, with a long crepe veil fall
ing below her waist. A dull black flower
pin at her throat was her only ornament.
Sho sits perfectly still while talking, her
little hands folded in her lap, the vary
ing expression of her face find the light
ing and darkening of her wonderful
eyes alone accompanying the changing i
thought. Her voice is musical and full '
of sentiment.
Her home is in Washington, but she
was on hero making a visit to her ,
daughter Ethel, who is a member of j
Richard Mansfield's company. New
