am told, very good, as it enables him to
get through vast amount of work dur
ing the year. He does not, however,
spend much time in the offices of The
Christian Union, although they are I'M
usually attractive, and would so far to-
ward reconciling one with the hard lot
of Journalism. He gives, believe, only
two days a week-Monday and Friday
to Office work, the chief burden of
the management of The Christian Union
devolving upon Mr.. Hamilton w. Mabie,
his able and accomplished assistant.
The editorial rooms in Astor place are
perhaps the finest in the city, with the
exception of those of The Century and
possibly those of The North American
Review, They are in the first place adj
mirably lighted, a feature that is too
often ignored in the construction of
offices. The public reception room is
handsomely furnished, comfortable
chairs standing here and there and beau
tiful pictures adjoining the tinted walls,
Just off this room is the office of DIR.
Abbott. If it is not large there is plenty
of room in it for literary work. Instead
of table DIR. Abbott has handsome
oak roller-top desk. Here, seated in a
most comfortable library chair, he may
be found on the days he is in the Office
writing an energetic paragraph or ar
ticle for The Christian Union or receiving
some contributor with manuscript, or
discussing with some writer a question
of social reform or phase of religious
thought.
The most of Dr. Abbotts work is done
in his large and handsome library in his
Willow street residence in Brooklyn.
He chooses this place, suppose, SO as
to be free from the constant interruption
to which he would DO subjected in his
Office at The Christian Union. He sets
apart for himself certain hours that are
not TO DO invaded except under extraor-
binary circumstances. 1t is in no other
way that he can get the time that he
must have to prepare his sermons and
to reflect upon the policy that he must
pursue in regard to the great church in
trusted to his care. Far different as he
is from Mr.. Beecher, there has been no
falling off in the regular membership
and the parish work of Plymouth church.
Indeed in some respects the work of the
church is larger and of different char
acter from what it used to be. DR.. Abbott
is greatly interested in charitable and
social reform work, which has taken a
much wider range than was thought to
be possible or proper in the days of Mr..
Beecher. FRANKLIN SMITH.

Or. LYMAN ABBOTT.
Eow the Editor of The Christian Union
Does His Literary Work.

lSne"isl Cerrespondence.l
New YORK, Jan. l9.-The extrem,
constituencies of the religious Atmosphere
of this country is shown by the furore
created by the omission of a small word
IN the address of the Rev. DIR. LYMAN
Abbott in Boston the other day. Those
familiar with his views received with
much incredulity the report that he had
declared unbelief in the divinity of Jesus
Christ. Knowing how closely he con-
forms to the orthodox view of the
Saviour, they felt that he must have
been the victim of some error. The
speedy publication of corrected report
OF his address with an omitted mot" in
serted was, as our readers doubtless re-
member, n confirmation of their suspi-
cion.
In consequence of this unhappy ex-
perience, which is simply a repetition of
what has befallen DR.. Abbott ON several
other occasions, he is obliged to exercise
the utmost care in granting interviews
with members of the press. He insists, as
a preliminary condition, that whatever is
put into his mouth shall be submitted to
him for revision and correction. Not
long ago / had occasion to obtain his
views on certain Biblical questions. He
granted the interview with the greatest
readiness and courtesy, thus creating a
marked contrast with the brusque and
insolent manner with which some men
receive correspondents. But he asked
me to show him the manuscript or proof
of what he had said. 1t was with great
pleasure that | complied with the re-
quest, which was the smallest possible
return that could make TO his kindness.
He is an extremely busy man, and the
time that he thus gave was a serious in
fraction upon his regular duties.
AS the editor of The Christian Union
and the pastor of Plymouth church in
Brooklyn he has much to do. 1t is a
wonder that he can do it. He is not by
any means the large, strong, robust
man physically that his predecessor,
Mr.. Beecher, was. He is tall and quite
slender, and he looks as though his
health was rather fragile. Yet it is, /

dressed, and, what is better, she need
not lay out this amount all at once, but
by buying each article as it becomes
necessary, the burden is lightened Such
a jacket, dress and parasol should last
one season at least for best, two if the
wearer is reasonably careful of them.
A good cheviot or camel's hair in black
or some dark color is suitable for almost
any occasion.
Most fashion writers revel In the con-
temptation of magnificent and costly
gowns, ignoring the mass of everyday
dresses that are worn and the fact that
the very persons who wear the superb
costumes they describe don't wear them
always. There are thousands of women
gowned in plain and comparatively in
expensive woolens to one who wears the
purple and fine linen, so | feel that it
would be offending the taste Of the ma
jority Of my gentle readers if | tried to
mislead them into thinking that in the
fashionable world it is always "silk
gowns for breakfast and satin ones for
tea"
Another great reform has been
wrought in this age of common sense in
dress, and that is that young girls have
never been so we'll dressed as now. By
that | mean so simply and suitably for
their age. In this connection are three
young girls. The one alone wears a
plain princess cut gown of diagonal
cheviot, with sleeves guimpe and foot
band Of faille 10 match. This band at
the bottom gives faint suspicion that
the dress has by this means been length
ened. II it has not, it could be if the
young wearer grows tall. 1t is very
neat, plain and yet quite dressy enough.
Any wooden goods would be pretty made
so. Old silk, surah of any kind can be
utilized, and few nail heads here and
there take off the old look. This is for a
girl from thirteen to sixteen.
The other two are for girls of from
sixteen to eighteen. The smaller one
has a plain skirt of lowered India silk
or challie or any other rather light wool
en- material, made with narrow flounce
all around the skirt. A ruffle Of the
same, herring boned in some other shade
than the goods, makes a dainty finish

The sounds were inarticulate to out
siders; but DR.. Robinson, the baby's

less be able to interpret them as the in
teresting remains of the Simian tongue.
For DIR. Louis Robinson, whenever dur

The other dress is Of pale blue cash
mere, with double band, Swiss bodice
and sleeves Of dark green velutina. The
guimpe and puffs are of cashmere braid
cd with silver braid studded with small
black jet beads. The cashmere costs
about sixty cents yard and requires
about Al yards, and IL yards Of velu-
tina, which is one yard wide. II velvet
is used it would need 81 yards, as it is
only twenty-four inches wide.
After all, it all depends upon the taste
Of the lady whether she is well or i'll
dressed on small income. The power
OF making her own clothes, excepting
cloaks, and complete understanding Of
herself are necessary, also thrift and
economy in taking care of her clothes
and Judgment in buying; but the best
general guide is, get the best you can,
take care of it and get everything to
match as nearly as possible.

WASHINGTON. September 9.--Postmaster-
General Wanamaker to-day issued his ex-
pected order deputizing the postmasters
of iree-delivery cities. towns, and rural
communities to put up letter-boxes on tho
request of citizens for the collection and
delivery of mail at house doors. The
order affects nearly three million resi-
dences, TO which the free.deliyery SER
vice is already extended, and is
regarded by postal experts as the most inn
portant departure in the free delivery OF
mails since the beginning Of the system
under Postmaster General Blair. Under
thus order letters will be taken from aud
delivered at the houses of any persons
who purchase boxes Of the Kind prescribed
by the department and put them up on
their doors OF walls.
PRICE OF THE BOXES.
The boxes vary in price from 81 20 ga.
and a given route is to be equipped when
the postmaster finds that two-thirds OF the
householders desire new double service.
The post-office officials say that as no
loss of time is involved 10 the
carrier force, no extra carriers Except as
the service naturally grows) are, required,
and il the saving of time through carriers
not having 20 wait To deliver letters on
given routes IS considerable enough extra

any expense 10 the householder except the
first cost of the box. and without any de-
partmental outlay at all, past or future, as
the expense of the tests resulting IN the
adoption of the system has been borne by
the inventors themselves.
