y blue velvet evening dress trimmed
with old point shows to great advantage
in the empire cut. Such O gown, cut
very low, back and front, fits tight ex-
cept at the back where the long train is
fastened with knot of ribbon to the
low corsage. Epaulets of old point are
fastened at the shoulders and fall fan
like over the large sleeves. The wom-
an who wore this gown had her hair
loosely knotted at the nape of her neck,
with a wreath of flowers around it. The
hair was parted from the tip of the
forehead to the COIL and there wasn't a
trace of bang 10 be seen.
Gloves are white or else match one Of
the many tints in the material.

blended together. There were immense

Some of the long velvet opera cloaks
are enough to set one dreaming of

are quite regal, and will probably be
called Marlborough cloaks, 10 remind
us of our American duchess.

material for them, without loading them
down with jewels.
\ brocade gown of this type is
trimmed with jeweled pendants. The
trimming is put on the sleeves in an oval
pattern with the fringe of pendants
dangling all around the puff. The soft
fichulike yoke that knots in front is
trimmed with jewels radiating from the
knot, pendants form a sort of basque
to the close-ftting bodice.
Another gown which shows the popu-
larity of the shoulder.css sleeve is
made of pale gold-colored silk, bro

forms the shoulder straps.
The empire gown which is never a
general favorite, but is always becon-
ing to some, is now worn in heavy ma
tcrials like velvet, for instance. The
popularity of this style of gown was
hurt by its imitation in cheapmaterials,
which hung limp and ungraceful,
very unlike the regal folds which
graced the form of the beautiful Jo-
sephine.

WOMAN OF FASHION.
Trilby's Influence on tho Ameri-
can Foot Has Succumbed.
Uncomfortable High French Heels Are
Again the Rage-The Common-Scnse
Shoe Had No Show Evening
Gowns and Toilets.
COPYRIGHT, 1895

Trilby's influence upon the American
foot, though potent while it lasted, has
finally succumbed to the rival claims
of a much more important person.
Trilby, of course, was only II blanch-
isseuse, while her rival was great
queen who, even though she was born
under an unlucky star, is entitled to
more consideration in questions of taste
than one who, at the very height of her
popularity, was no more than singing
woman.
Poor Marie Antoinettc lost her head
for starting extravagant styles for
which the French public objected to
paying, and what waste it would be
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-01-23

to become a martyr to a fashion that
dies out in a few years to give place to
an ugly common-sense shoe, for in
stance!
Besides, Trilby's fine figure and the
foot that went with it may have been
all right for the posing that she did so
well; but when it comes to dancing,
who would care to trip the light fan
tastic in anything like a pair of dis
carded army slippers?
Ayearago there was a slight tendency
to make the large foot fashionable,
and the sensible people began to cheer
up and congratulate themselves that
reform was here. But now their hopes
are dashed and their kettle LITERAL"
kicked over by so small and dainty an
object as the high-heeled French dane
ing slipper. And the heel is not merely
high; it has that deadly slope towards
the middle of the sole which gives ply
sicians such lucrative business.
All the new slippers are made after
this pattern, and it will be impossible
for the common-sense girl to have any
other style unless she has her last as
we'll as her shoe made to order. There
are plenty of slippers that are made to
order, but they are pretty likely to be
made on the regular French last in
spite of protests. The slippers that are
ordered in this way are made to match
the gown with which they are to be
worn. 1t takes about half Il yard of silk
brocade to make pair. After the shoe

ONE ON CHAPLAIN McCABE
He Broke Up a Drill by Holding Revival
Meeting.
DIuiu I
IUereldnd PiuiIldedIer. ]


Chaplain McCabe, elected Bishop at the
Methodist General Conference, secured the
title of Chaplain through his services as Chap
lain of the 122d Regiment. This regiment
was commanded by Gen. VIM. III. Bail, who,
after the war; became one of the most dis
tinguished jurists in Ohio, and is now a
resident of Evansville. When ne heard that
McCabe had been elected Bishop he re-
called a story of McCabe.
Shortly alter McCabe joined the regi-
ment he began revival meetings, in which
many of the soldiers took much interest, and
often, Gen. Ball says the sound of prayer
and singing was bornetO his tent
One day when the order was given to fall
in for drill very small percentage of the
men reported, and OH anguiring the cause it
was ascertaned that Chaplain McCabe was
holding a revival meeting and would not
allow the soldiers to leave. Col. Ball sent
an Orderly to Chaplain McCabe to disband
the meeting, and the Orderly came back with
prompt refusal to comply with the order.
Col. Ball then sent an order Tor Chaplain
McCabc TO report at once To headquarters.
The military law was handed down to him
in true military style, aud the Chaplain was
angry at being told he must desist from
holding revival meetings.
The third day after the occurrence Chap
lain McCabe cameito Col. Bail and extend
ing his right hand said Colonel, you were
right and / was wrong"
There were numerous revival meetings,
and the regiment became famous for this,
but they were not held during drill hours.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: BY your
permission would like TO make correction
Of an article written for your parer by Gen.
r. w Johnson. of the United States Army.
The article referred to was published Jan.
30. and entitled Battle Above the Clouds"
He SAYS: At suitable place the boats
landed, and with The rapidly Of thunder
bolt the men rushed on shore, surprised aud
captured the whole rebel force not one OF
whom escaped to tell the story" With all
due respect 10 Gen. johnson as soldier and
old comrade, desire 10 say that part OF has
article is rather misleading, and fails to do
justice to the attacking party or to the brave
enemy opposing our army. As an eye-wll-
ness and participant in this boat rand on
the Tennessee River, ] certainly saw the
episode entirely different.
/ viii Tecite just what happened TO
the advance of this exped ton, and for Its
correctness viii refer you to Capt. Claudlus
Tiff, living at Sanborn, Iowa; Capt. James
HaTdiman, of CoviDgton, Ky, and Rev.
James McKiern OF Pennington, Iowa.
The 23d Ky. al that time belonged 10
Gen. w. b. Hazen's Brigade. This regiment,
from Fox1s report, seems to be placed in line
and one of the 300 fi2hting regiments. 1t
served from 1861 TO 1866. The Army OF the
Cumberland suffered from hunger, being
surroSnded by Brsgg's troops. We spent
most of our time digging out stump roots
for firewood and hunting up stray ear OF
corn TO subsist on. Camp life had grown
dull, and we prayed for change.
il came by an order for the 23d Ky. to fail
in line by companies their respective
parade grounds. My company was III, Capt.
Tiff, man known never 10 falter in the
face of danger and always ready for duty.
The Captain informed us that a detail would
be made from our company as well as from
Others of the regiment This should report
on the regimeutal parade ground alter dark
at the sound of the drum. The names of
the desired parties were called out and
marked Ivy the Orderly-Sergeant before the
company broke ranks
Co1frade Burlington, of Co. j, came to the
Captain and urged TO be allowed to JOIN
our squad and participate in any danger we
might in"ur. John Sheiderly, one of the
boys detailed, had very sore hand. Buff
dngton was permitted 10 take his place in
line. The Captain then stated that before
night we would receive tbree-quaIJers Of
days ration of beef which we ought at
once to cook for tomorrow, as the ration
was 10 commence in the morning, AID
might have TO last several days.
We then broke ranks aud hunted up more
roots to cook the beef, which WAS issued be-
fore night.
