New YORK. September 7, 1889.
Empire styles have lost none OF their
popularity, and appear prominently
among the autumn designs.
They seem especially appropriate for
evening costumes and for indoor
dresses and reception attire. Perhaps
the abolition OF the hustle IS somewhat
owing TO the introduction Of these Empire
gowns the skirt of one OF them could
never be adjusted over an iron cage.
They are essentially simple and clingng.
For that reason the soitest, sheerest OF
fabrics should alone be used upon them.
E1FPEI-RED HENRIETrAs.
Henriettns develop particularly well
in the Empire shape. Such u gown, IN
tended for afternoon wear, recently no.
ticed. was in Einel red, or shade nearly
approaching that. The waist portion
consisted OF folds Of the material very
loosely arranged, drawn from tho
shoulder on each side, and crossing, one
beneath the other on the bust, passing
at the waist beneath a wide belt or CIR
die of serpent-green velvet The sleeves
were loose, wide and plated ms for as
the elbows. where close cuffs of the same
velvet succeeded There was a narrow
vest Of the same. upon which two VS. Of
fine gold braid appeared. The skirt
was of the usual simple Empire style.
Some very dainty walking gowns OF
striped zephyr ginghams are seen, made
with close-ftting basques, over double
waistcOat effects of white over striped
g;ngham. The skirt Is drsped, but has
no over-drapery.
4 CHARMING MORNING GOWN
affected by fashionable young lady
here is in creamy white very light
weight woollen material, made with a
round yoke, and full, gathered bodice
effect, the yoke being Of embroidery.
The fulness Of the gown is confined at
the wrist by a girde or belt Of pale-blue
ribbon and the skirt is very straight,
plated, however, at both sides on the
borders of the two side panels, reaching
from the waist down, oil embroidery.
An old friend will como to the fore
again this fall in the shape OF ladies'
cloth. This fabric will appear with Dor
der effects, which are novelty. 1t Is
likely to be exceedingly popular.
STYLISH MOURNING GOWNS.
There has been growing tendency OF
late years TO make mourning garments
rs handsome and elaborate rs all the
other toilets women wear. They are
no longer hideous, stercotyped models,
shapelcss, and without beauty or FASH
ion. II anything, the other extreme is
now practiced. The most stylish
mourning gowns now seen combine
English and Canton crepe, sometimes
alone ard sometimes with Henrietta
cloth, which retains great favor for
mourning attire For later mourning
or light mourning white embroidered
crepe appears in the combination, aud
some Of it is extremely rich and beau,i-
full.

NEW THEATRE-WAIsTs.

What was called a theatre waist. in the
fashionable parIance Of the last winter
season, met with 50 much favor THAI
this season opens with many new models
and suggestions for these dainty gar
ments. A theatre waist must be of rich
materials, Of novel and Ji.drre cut, and
of vell-chosen colors. No special deli
cacy in the selection Of the colors seems
TO be necessary, for some Of them are of
the brightest, most noticeable tints, in
combinations which. for any other pur
| pose, would be deemed vulgar. How
ever, one Is privileged to wear bright
colors at the theatre. Fcdoras, Mo-
Heres, Zouaye, and Figaro and Spanish
Jacket effects, eytravagant Directolre
modfcatlons-these are some OF the
features which are deemed appropriate
for theatre waists" One cannot err
on the side of Oddly or originality.
TRAVELLING GARMENTS.
Among the prettiest and neatest Of
travelling garments are long wraps
which completely envelope the person.
in striped silk-usually gray and black.
They are much on the COnnemara or
peasant cloak style.
Rudy browns will be prominent
among colors this coming season. Rust
color will be seen in many Of the fash
ionable fabrics.
The ACCORDION skirt will appear on
many fall waking-dresses, and accor-
deon panels will also be frequent.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Long cloth wraps are beginning to be
seen. Will the Newmarket appear when
winter opens, OF WAS the sentence Of
Punishment read upon it last year final ?
Speaking of long wraps, those in the
Directoire style-more properly to be
styled coats-have adopted the three or
four overlapping shoulder-capes.
From present indications the form OF
the corsage opening on the bodices Of
this winters ball gowns and evening
dresses will be the y, 30 long popular.

AN ENORMOUS REVENUE.
"Then," added Mr. Flower, "the re-
venue to be derived will be something
enormous, and tho benefit TO accrue to
manufacturers will be in proportion.
The Centennial at Philadelphia brought
manufacturers over from Europe to show
their wares in tins country. When they
came they saw manufactures which very
few people believed We had in this coun-
try. They were impressed accordingly.
The result was of the utmost benefit to
our manufacturer. AS an illustration:
The Globe Woollen-Mllls IN Utica
found 80 many new customers for
their goods that they have hard
" been able to fill orders since. II has
been 80 with many other manufacturers
and will be 30 with thousands. | be-
lieve, too, that it will be long time be-
fore some of the features OF the fair

find that they have a place whore they
can show their goods 10 the world they
will be slow TO yield up the advantages
which site here confers, for they can
not get these advantages anywhere else
in this country.

Was There Ever Such Il Dog?

A correspondent sent me some time ago all
excellent dog story which he had culled from
a Sunday school paper published here in Bos
ton made an attempt, through my sport
ing commissioner, to trace the anecdote to its
source, but we were not successful. Possibly
its publication in this column will meet the
eye of somebody who can confirm its truth
The dogs name was Punch, and he is de
scribed as resident of Boston. He had been
accustomed to have three extensive meals a
day, which his master, thinking quite rightly
to better his condition by SO doing, reduced
to one meal, per saltum. The result is thus
described:
Our dogs first day was anxious and ex-
pectant. He ate his heavy meal, and barled
in vain for his supper. The second was like
unto it; the third and the fourth Punch be-
gan to consider. The family, watching that
midday meal on the fourth day, saw Mr.
Punch divide his portion into two equa,
shares One of these he seized and pushed
under bench, then, returning, devoured tht
remainder. At supper time the same per-
Torrance was gone through. At breakfast
''his cupboard was bare" but he had pro
vided for three meals day, and ever since
like a well regulated dog, puts himself upon
''rations."

confirm this interesting and not incredible
tale?-Boston Post.

If we know all the methods of approach adopted
by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable In many instances
the inherent strength of the body suffices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward death.
Many, however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little no help. In other
cases little aid to the weakened lungs will make
all the difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life. Upon the first symp-
