HOW TO DRESS WHEN IN BLACK AND WHITE OOKS and BOOKISHNESS. THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. JUNE 19.

1906. FACING THE CAMERA tJ t' OJ -Ji The really picturesque tyje of woman comes out of the ordeal best, when it is a question of having a picture taken. Probably what Bhc habitually wears is mm the most suitable attire for this purpose, It is a great mistake to wear something totally unaccustomed on these occasions. strictly tailor maae woman, nuu would really rather "be done" in motor cap ana goir jersey, is situneu uuuui win scarves of chiffon and emerges, from the ordeal looking well, incongruous, "poor thing. The hunting for once photographed out of her habit, droops pensively on a wlndowsill, carrying a large sheaf of lilies.

The woman who would be really happier If only her nightgowns could have high, stiff linen collars, condemned to the. fichu, which she would never diream of- possessing in real life. And yet the really artistic photograph is not often evolved from the tailor made gown or habit or the stiff linen collar. The advice of an authority to these typically out of door women is be photographed out of doors. Why, why do people who wear pinc-nez or spectacles insist upon keeping them on to be photographed in? asks a critic.

Anything more disastrous cannot be imagined. That simple detail will ruin the otherwise most successful portrait ever taken. And Novelties for the Table. TEMPERANCE folks will probably look askance at the new things that are introduced for the (onven-lonce of those who do not confine their list to ice tea, ooffoe, lemonade and Appolinaris. The toddy spoon is a novelty designed to appeal to the card lover as well as the toddy imbiber.

It is of silver with characteristic card decorations on the hndle and bowl. The burnt brandy spoon is also new and its mission is to rest on the top of the coffee cup while the very small quantity of liquor that the bowl will hold is allowed to burn for an instant before being added to the after dinner coffee, which in the estimation of some, it. is supposed to Improve. The bowl is of. silver, the p'1 jk0l NEW A taffeta chiffon gown, in white, covered with black lace, Is here shown.

The short puffed sleeves are finished with a knot of satin, and the crush belt is of satin. -J The secession of the Southern states was not rebellion. While tho ostensible objects of the war against the South were the abolition of slavery and the preser- vation of tho Union, the real object wis a war of conquest.

The Confederates waged war like polished gentlemen; they refrained from devastating the North because It wag contrary to their chivalrous iqstincts. Tho Federals were ruffians, savages and barbarians, and did things so baso that the proud, polished, refined Southerners could not bear to even think on them. The Southern spies caught and iung by Northern troops were murdered martyrs. The author's attempting, with others to burn the City of New York, in November, '64, by sotting fire to a number of hotels at night, was a dignified and gentlemanly protest against Northern inhumanity. That is the lamentable lesson, in brief, that is taught by one of the nipt violently partisan histories that over spoiled good white paper.

It Is called: "Confederate Operations in Canada and New York," by John W. Ileadley (Nealo Publishing $2). Mr. Headley was a captain in the Confederals army; he has been In business at Louisville, for the past twenty years, and from September 1. 1801.

to January 1, 18'J6, was Secretary of State of Kentucky. Tho book Is thus dedicated: "To the memory of the defenceless non-combatant people of the South, who suffered the untold horrors of merciless warfaredesolation, destitution, Imprisonment or death; of tho persecuted people of the North, whose sense of Justice and humanity revolted at a crusade for tho cause of John Brown, and of Horace Greeley, Gerrit Smith and Cornelius Van-derbilt, this volume Is reverently dedicated by tho author." Of the CLvil War In general this work tells nothing new. It is poorly written, and the author's meaning is frequently obscure. It contains more sentences and paragraphs in capital letters than any book this reviewer has ever seen. The story of the plans for a revolution at Chicago and New York City, and' the formulating of the plot to burn Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Boston and New York, for the purpose of giving an opportunity for the rising of the great secret order of traitors known as tho Sons of Liberty and the establishment of the Northern Confederacy, Is remarkably interesting.

Doubtless it is perfectly accurate, for the author was one of the primo movers. The story of the attempt to burn tho City of New York is told in detail for the first time. We Vish that space would permit us to quote this In full Instead of giving a brief synopsis of it. Condensation robs it to a great degree of its atmosphere. Captain Headley tells the tale of trying to burn a city of three-quarters of a million population with an air of braggadocio relish which a boy would use in telling his companions how he had tried to smash the windows of a vacant house and bean frightened away.

There were eight in the party that came from Toronto to New York; Captain Headley was the second in command. had been previously agreed with Governor Seymour, of the State of New York, that he would not use the militia to suppress tho Insurrection in tho city, but that he would support the incendiaries by his official neutrality. This was confirmed by the governor on their reaching New York. At first they intended to fire the city on the day of the presidential election, November 8, 1864, but General Benjamin P. Butlor massed 10,000 troops here and issued a proclamation that he would deal without mercy with any disturbers of tho public So they delayed execution of the plot until the evening of November 25, 1864.

A chemist, whose name is unknown to Captain Headley, had prepared, at the Instigation of the other Confederates, a quantity of Greek fire in bottles. On the evenina In Question these were distributed among the eight conspirators, who had previously registered and obtained rooms at the following hotels: Astor House, City Hotel, Everett House, United States, Hoffman, Fifth Avenue, St. Denis. St. James, Howard, Tammany, Brandreth's, Gramercy Park, Hanford, New England, Belmont and Lovejoy's.

"I reached the Astor House at 7:20 o'clock," says Captain Headl-y, "sot my key and went to my room, in the top story. It was a lower corner front room, on Broadway. After lighting the gas jet I hung the loosely on the headboard and piled the chairs, drawers of the bureau and washatand on the bed, and then stuffed some newspapers about among the mass and poured a bottle of turpentine over It all. I concluded to unlock my door and fix the key on the outside, as I might have to get out. in a hurry, for I did not know whether the Greek fire would make a noise or not.

I opened tha bottle carefully and quickly and spilled it on the pile of rubbish. It blazed up instantly, and the whole bed seemed to be in flames before I could get out. I locked the door, walked down the hall and stairway to the office, which was fairly crowded with people, and left the key at the office, as usual, and then passed out." He did the samo at the City Hotel, Everett House United States. Then he savs he went back, "to see how hie fires were doinj." There was no panic at the Astor House, but a great crowd was pouring out of Barnum's Museum, opposite, which was on fire, and people- were jumping trom the upper stories. It was then 9:15 by the City Hall clock.

It turned out that one of Hoadley's companions, after he had fired the hotels allotted to him, went to Barnum's Museum and broke a bottle of the Greek fire on staircase, thinking it would be a good joke on tha people inside. Headley did not stop long to watch the museum burn and peoplo kill then.selves by jumping to escape being burned to pairs of legs and antennae, but is otherwise very natural, and is sold at 39 cents Information tcith regard to the shops where these articles may be purchased ieill be furnished upon application to the Editor Woman's Department, Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

There was the wildest excitement all over the city. Now the hearts of tha citizens were aflame and they raged up and down the streets seeking the rebels. Headley and his men fled to cover In theft obscure lodgings. 'i They agree tltere was something the matter with their Greek fire, and that they had been betrayed by the chemist intentionally not miking it properly.

An Injudicious "no trump" call has blighted the happiness of many home, though it has not yet been used as a ground for a judicial separation. "Many admirable treatises liave been compiled by men whose boots, as bridge players, we are unworthy to clean," ay the authors In their "But these authoritiea all have their pet theories on many of the most vital points of the game, and it may well happen that the neophyte finds that the views which he has laboriously imbibed do not pass current in circles in which he is cast. We have endeavored to collate the principal theories on each point and, while indicating our preference for one or an- other, to statu fairly the case of it. rivals." The book Is one which will be read with profit by those seeking more light on the game. Throughout the work the authora Impress on the reader the sincerity of their aim to preserve by skillful play the standard of the game, so ns to keep It ono of pure science, thus saving It from a place among mere gambling games, such as poker.

Especially do they deprecate the point-raising double, expressing their opinion that the only excuse for doubling Is doing so on a certainty. It seems that, in spite of the English birth of bridge, Its devotees In the mother country, according to the authors, have fallen Into some of the American Ideal on the game, the chief of which Is the habit of not playing out a spade hand. They, however, express no opinion on this point, leaving the choice of action with the Individuals concerned. The greatest help the daring player will find in this book will bo the warninga against the many seemingly clever plays, which often in the end lose tricks, and the cautions against other pitfalls Intended to entrap one's opponent, but Into which one's partner may Just as easily slip. As a matter of fact, few bridgo enthusiasts will fail to find much to aid and Instruct them in the work, a careful study of which cannot fail to increase one's skill as a bridge player.

T. S. D. THE TAYLOR COLLECTION. Rather a curious volume la that de scribing the Talbot J.

Taylor collection oil' furniture, wood carving and other decorative exhibits in the home of the author and owner at Cedarhurst, L. I. It is mor than this, in effect, because it constitutes a description of a country home such as is provided for and by the rich who have also a taste for pictures, carving and the liko of that, and if it is inspired by an Innocent pride it is none the worse. Men of all stations take more pride in their, houses than in anything else, It would ap-" pear; at least, the man rarely exists wh does not drag all his friends and acquaintances through the house he is building and expatiate on the glories of the plumbing, the amplitude of the closets, the sufficiency of light and air, and the grandeur of the view, even when the view consists of tho flats across the street. Mr.

Taylor has spent a good deal of money on thl book, a seemly quarto of 140 pages, and, has Illustrated it with 187 half tones, showing the strong boxes, bedsteads, chairs, commodeB, church carvings, tapestries, metal work and other things that have been assembled In the course of travel and of study. Incidentally he shows his dining room, library, bedrooms and gardens. It Is no part of a reviewer to criticise another man's belongings, any; more than it la of a picture critic to consider the personality of a portrait; yet) there is a temptation to express tha wonder if Mr. Taylor does not at times find his house a wee bit oppressive and his book roem rather more like a museum than a place in which he can snuggle down and read.

Avoid violent contrasts in color, or light in shade, in your attire, when you go to the photographer's. Plain colors are best for one's gowns, draperies rather than frills and flounces, and a clarity of outline preserved scrupulously in the case of a good figure. If the sitter has a bad one she should be content with a head and shoulders merely. Do nothing that can mar the shoulder line and be very careful not to have a marked fashion in sleeves. The picture frock of white chiffon is excellent, though a pronounced success has been achieved with a frock of fluffy black tull orof simply well cut satin on an older woman.

If photographed in a Batln gown the sitter much remember it must be of the very best. A poor satin looks worse than poor in a photograph and, whatever happens, it must not be creased. A crumpled dress is tragic in a picture; it is as, bad as creased flannels on a man! In the matter, of headgear only a real picture hat, and one copied from a well known old master, is permissible. Furs generally look lovely In a photograph, but they must not overwhelm their wearer. Ermine comes out very hard, though, of course, sable looks well.

A prominent publication in the butter trade says that the unfortunate wind up of last year's speculative deal in storing the commodity in still fresh In the minds of operators and has a deterring effect.

That view of the situation is undoubtedly correct, and It enables the variation of a half cent to a cent per pound to unsettle the impulses of receivers, wholesale dealers and speculators as effectually as if the amount were several times greater. This unfortunate condition in the market results in there bing to this time but very Ismail storage operations in this great consuming center, the quantity in the refrigeration establishments at this time being fully 10,000 packages of the season's make of butter, less than at the same date In 1905. Though current production is reported to be equal to that of last year, the statement can scarcely be relied upon, because of the cool and dry weather which has prevailed in much of the milk producing territory at the West, at first retarding and later delaying full succulent pasturage. Receipts of butter at this market last week showed the increase of 2,600 packages over those of the preceding week, yet they were nearly 8,000 short of those of the corresponding week a year ago. There is an excellent demand for high quality of the receipts in the local consumption which ranges retailer's charges per pound at 25 to 28 cents for tub packed; 27 to 30 cents for prints and 35 cents for sweet or un-salted butter.

In cheese demand Is slow, with preference shown for large size, especially when transactions are for exportation. Price is lOW to 10 cents per pound. Receipts of eggs show improvement along the whole line of with the preceding week, the corresponding week of 1905 and the totals from March. Irregular quality continues to the dis advantage of each and every handler of the commodity. There is good demand from the retail trade for the better class, as there is for storing disposition, though, of course, all that are not sold on arrival must be placed in refrigeration.

Origin of the Steel Pen. "We owe the steel pen," said an Inventor, "to a man named Joseph Gillott, an Englishman. Oillott was a jeweler. He lived in Birmingham, England. One day, accidentally splitting the end of ono of his fine steel jewel-making tools, he threw it peevishly to the floor.

An hour later it was necessary for him to write a Where, though, was his quill pen? Ho searched high and low, but could not find it. Looking finally on the floor, he discovered, not the pen, but the broken steel tool. 'I wonder If I couldn't makeshift to write with this?" he said. And he tried to write with the split steel tool, and, of course, succeeded perfectly. To this episode' we owe the steel pen which has superseded the quill the world -LouiBville Journal.
