A DELAYED Photograph.

The most surprised man at the late
Grand Army encampment at Washing
ton was Postmaster John B. Emery, OF
Williamsport. When Mr.. Emery was
at the front in 1869 he had a photograph
aiken of himself and mailed TO his
mother. She never received it, and the
picture was long since forgotten. Dur
ing the encampment the postmaster was
naturally interested in the dead letter
Office. There is there a collection OF
several thousand photographs that have
failed to reach their owners, and while
looking over them Mr.. Emery was as
tonished to find his own among them.
BY unwinding the necessary amount OF
red tape the postmaster established his
claim to the photograph, and 1T was semi
to him a few days ago.-Washington

and has seams only under the arm. The front

so as not to be clumsy, and the material must be

large balloon puffs are cut from straight mate

are edged with fur. The ribbon belt is drawn

makes her look as though she had wandered
into ball in her morning negige, but one con-
strained to everlasting fitness by a fine support
beneath the lovely bust line, and taper toward
the waist curves which suggests the proper
amount of lingerie.
Such triumphant empire was worn sat
home the other evening. Involuntarily one
thought OF "fdyils of the Spring." and fragrant
blooms of green and white springing fresh in
the countrys quiet places, as one watched her
pink cheeks dimping above her softly clinging
gown of white satin and tinted orchids
But poetry is not for the chronicler OF
fashion, though fashions may inspire the poet.
This symbolic gown, then was of empire
satin. fitting the figure over the hips aud fall
ing almost straight, like the old bell skirt. to
the front. Beneath the bust a broad crumpled
sash OF darkest apple green velvet was caught
by butterfly bow. The corsage was of light,
delicate tulle. the color of new leaves crossing,
surplice fashion, into the sash. Pulled sleeves,
for a wonder, were made of tulle instead of
velvet.
Edging the low-cut corsage were white Or
chids, shading into green here, back to white
there, SO cunningly made that one scarcely
knew whether they were natural or not.
Some Of the blooms fell against the girls
neck.
The trained skirt was trimmed with three
narrow rows of dark green velvet ribbon and
orchid sprays.
Slippers and gloves were of the green-like
shades OF the orchids and tulle.

collar is worn with it. At the left Won will see
stylish cape with tight-ftting jacket be-
meath. Both cape and jacket are of red cloth
and are made together. From the short upper
cape hang long pendants of passementerie
which end in ornaments of beads Black
feather trimming borders the bottom of the
long cape and the Medici collar. The jacket is
tight fitting in front. is made with darts and
fastens with buttons.
There is a very charming jacket Of the empire
shape at the left In the last illustration. 1t is of
dark green cloth, trimmed with imitation mar
ten fur. and has full collar of green velvet shot
with old gold. This jacket would look how
ever, equally well in dark blue, drab or the
fashionable ''tabac." The hat should be in felt
OF the same shade as the jacket and the feathers
either shade lighter or black. The other fig
ure is very stylish jacket of gray cloth, double
breasted, with large buttons, and with the1fash-
ionable full sleeves. Simple as it looks it needs
to be very well made and to fit perfectly.
For those desiring to know just how the
handsome visiting dress of the initial picture is
made give here a detailed description of it.
The fur trimming which borders the entire
dress is carried up the front and around the
jacket. The costume is cut princess fashion
and is closed with hooks and ewes for about
half yard under the waist, this fastening be-
ing. however. entirely concealed by the fur
trimming. Beneath this fastening, that is, at
the lower part Of the dress. the front is sewn
together. The front Of the waist can be made
either with or without darts. If the curve Of
the bust is very full, these darts must be en-
ployed, being put toward the side much as
possible. If the bust is small or inclined to be
fiat, it is not necessary to use them and the
material can be laid fiat on the lining. If a dart
be employed, it is advisable to make it only in
the outside material, not in the lining. SO that
when well ironed out it is as little visible as
possible. The back breadths are very much
sloped, so as to be set in tight to the figure,
In order to preserve the bell shape,
but the circumference should be at
the bottom from three to three
and one-quarter yards. The lining must be cut
to the exact size Of the upper material and must
be sewn with the latter in such manner as to
fit line by line with it. The seams must be well
dampened and very carefully ironed so that
they show as little as possible. If you wish to
avoid the middle seam at the back, slope the
back side breadths very much, as this gives the
same effect as goring the back and sewing it mp.
The skirt has no second muslin lining and the
seams are made before being laid on the lining.
This obviates any unnecessary fullness and
stiffness and makes the seams less easily SEEN
The ~halebones are covered with bone

MARIAN DWIGHT.

A Slender Girls Compromise With the En-
pire and Her Vanity.
The maidens who pride themselves upon their
slender grace, and the matrons who rejoice in
well-preserved girlish outlines, groan in spirit
under the tyranny Of the universal empire.
But II is not possible to rebel against it as to
evening gowns. for none of the other forms OF
fashionable government popular on the street
and in the house can hope to overtarn the en-
pire OF the ball room in the fuli-dress function.
To be sure, the dressmakers are past mis-
tresses in their art. and almost creative in their
genius OF defining physical curves beneath an
empire gown. Yet, by the very nature of their
present occupation they are bound only to de-
hne, without displaying, to the best advantage,
the feminine form divine. And as We
are not all Recamiers OF Josephines
