TELE OMAHA BATLT BEE : SUSTDAY , .OCTOBER 0 , 1898. WBU s ( | . > @FVS < ih < ir i > S' ' < ff\ © > | | IN THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN. | | ( S i i NEW YORK , Oct. 7. Tt Is a poor fashion that docs not benefit somebody , for while the average woman Is making valiant war ngalnst the now skirt , autumn brides are Mil of deep content. This new cut of the nether draperies certainly adds to the height and slenderness of these who arc booked this month for that trying walk up the church aisle , though In all respects the bridal dresses are prettier than over before. Any rich whlto silken goods Is acceptable for a wedding gown , but It you must bo wed In the most fashionable fabric of the season you will have a whlto duchess silk. Thlj Is neither more nor less than a very heavy peau do sole , and sugar whlto Is the proper Inflection of blanched purity In which It must bo chosen. Having gene thus far alleld In search of novelty , an October brldo can content herself with some of the orthodox and long approved properties of her romantic position. For Instance , she cannot bo more fashionable than trim her white robe with pearl or Bllvcr passamcntrle. Perhaps the silver appliques lead In popularity , chiefly because they are woven and worked In such attractive patterns of wreathed columbine and lily of the valley , myrtle blooms and laurel-shaped leaves , or trails of gleaming orange blossoms and true lover knots. Seed pearl passamcntrlo Isory chaste and classl- cal In pattern , and some of it that can bo extolled for its appropriateness showed flights of dovcs | > bf various sizes , bearing < pearly sprays of ollvo in their seed pearl ' bills. i Iilincrlulc Luce. There Is no use trying to bo dogmatic on the question of lace 'for the all Important toilet. Any lace that Is pretty and good Is fashionable , though Limerick IB the kind that brldcs-to-bo seem to prefer. This Is made In so light and graceful a pattern and in such abundance in Ireland that It is , of all hand-made laces , the least expensive. Perhaps It is as well , also , to comment on thu brevity of the wedding gown trains. A half a dozen ynrds of whlto satin is > considered rank and tasteless extravagance In any but a royal personage who dresses according to tradition largely. The fair re publican orders the back breadths of her nklrt to curtain out six to ten Inches , and that is air , and If you turn up the bottom of the well-built train you will be apt to find it lined , unlike the front of the skirt , with brilliant silver tissue. Touching the remaining topography of the murrlago lobe , It Is essential \ > say that a very .high . Medici collar Is typical of all the best examples. Wired lace , or silk muslin shirred on to a wire frame , is what every properly costumed woman requires , and Eomo of these comb-shaped collars are cut in three gothlc points , or rounded Just as often as they arc squared off. ExceedIngly - Ingly pretty collars arc made all of silver luce , or the edge of a silk muslin collar is trimmed with a stiff , narrow border of this bright decoration. In sharp contrast to the Medici ruff at the rear Is the low-cut of the collar in front. It was customary , up to the past spring , ( o swathe all brides , oven to the ears , In closc-flttlng satin , and this was said -to bo the consequence of the wedding celebrated by daylight. A very few women did profit by this arrangement , but the majority of brides appear to much better effect when their whlto gowns open , a little , at , the throat. Now , at last , we have the fronts of collars cut to the base of the neck , while some women venture to further soften thfs by carving the neck out In a very small point In front. Dressmakers do not hesl- tnto to say that before the crop of weddings for the spring of 1899 Is gathered In the approved bridal dress will be decolleto and brief of sleeve. Velio.

Veils nro al most universally pinned back from the face , and in a narrow cascade of tulle or lace , 'down the shoulders. Brides have come 'to the conclusion that the veil Interferes with "tho well-planned tableau her gown should present , and that a shower of tulle prevent : appreciative womankind In the congregatlor from taking In all the best points of tht 'costume ; therefore , at some of the mon recent weddings , only two delicate tabs oi , lace fell from the crown of the head to thi ' waistline of the wife-to-be.

Applied by all hair dresser small narrow tulle streamers with finely tucked edges , and these diminishing veils are fastened to the head by coronets of whlto roses Just as often as by orange blos soms. Sometimes .tall , richly carved Ivory combs fasten tulle veils In place , as Span ish women wear their mantillas , and It Is noticeable , with the vast amount ot silver used on wedding gowns , that slippers of slivered kid are growing into a distinct vogue. These are remarkably pretty , and a great relief to the ugly whlto sarcophagus In which even dainty feet appear to the most painful disadvantage. October Hutu. The millinery carnival Increases in in terest every day and the development of the wldu felts are to bo watched with care. Not yet have the possibilities of the shepherdess shape been exhausted , and some exceedingly bewitching examples of soft , wide satin fin ished felts are seen trimmed with velvet and plumes , and very gay roses In the roar. Nearly all the wide caved dark hata have a narrow fold of velvet running about the in side edge of the brim , this velvet a bright color , such as turquoise blue on a sapphire blue felt , yellow on a brown felt and so on , Ono remarkable phase of hat decoration is displayed by some prettily colored felts , having low , small crowns and soft brims of moderate width. The decoration for these Is all massed exclusively on ono side of the brim , leaving the crown and remainder of the brim absolutely simple. Now the consequence of this sounds far more gruc- tiomo In the telling -than In the reality , for the felt is usually of a pale color , relieved by cordlngs of black velvet , describing many close-set circles on the hat. The narrow black lines turning round and round on the light brim and crown seem almost trtmmlnc enough , so when a knot of black velvet , with a twist of tulle and a clump of small ostrich tips , Is perched on the very edge of one side of the brim , an original but not un- bcautlful effect Is the result. AuilultoiiltcH AVIU Weep. A number of truly attractive hats have their crowns made wholly of the softly toned breasts of birds that would make an Audu- bonlte weep , and the brim Is rucked tulle , though the majority of our hats are solid and substantial to a degree. The Audubonlto might well weep , also , over the too evident fact that with the best will In the world to trim hats with wings , they have desisted , In most cases , simply because there seem to bo no more wings , nor heads , nor tails to use. Deprived of crisp songster's plum age , the makers ot hata have recoiled on truly hideous decorations of velvet and silk and a few Ibis and argus-eyed pheasant quills. They lay ponderous velvet sashes about heavy felt hats with a lavlsnness of hand that promises early baldness to these who will meekly submit their heads to this hot and weighty gear. It Is a relief to turn from these apoplectic hats to the airy , gracious little mantels that are wrought out for winter wear to the theater , concerts , etc. , or wherever a 'bit of frou-frou muflllng Is needed at the throat. Net flounces , of varying widths , edged with ostrich feather trimming , la what they are composed of. Ot course , they are cut shawl- shaped , and the pretty custom Is to put black flounces on a foundation of some highly colored silk. So closely set are the ruffles that , when the mantel hangs de murely from Its wearer's shoulders It ap pears sober enough. Let It be moved ever so slightly , however , and gleams ot scarlet or copper yellow taffeta are seen. A goodly number of such wraps are lined with some light fur and fall nearly to the knees , and to further lift all accusation of somberness from them , a looped chain of colored beads encircles the neck at the base ot the medlcl collar and forms a clasp under the wearer's chin. Tailor Style * , for Children. Consider the younger generation how It Is growing this winter most rapidly Into very advanced tailor-made fashion. Oh , mothers ! With the little girls this Is most noticeable , for they are as close ot skirt and as braided of body as their elders. As to the small boy , there are few articles of his father's wardrobe ho does not possess In miniature. It Is true , of an evening he only wears a dinner Jacket , as claw-hammer coattails - tails are not yet his , but very Impressive is his little beir-crowned silk hat and the amply tracked coat In which he trots to church , to family weddings and to such functions aa the boy under 15 Is entitled to participate In. The military activities of the time are also reflected In Juvenile raiment , for the Unco breeches of him who etlll takes an Interest in mumblety-pcg are by choice of a rich blue cloth and show a band of narrow black braid down the outside of either leg. The coat Is cut on the pattern ot an offi cer's fatigue jacket , hooking up snugly from hip line to chin , and this , with a dark blue fatigue cap , braided In black , gives a fair Idea of what the approved autumn school suit should be. Straight buttoned dark blue cloth coats , with a couple of capes , are what the little men wear over these suits ou chill days , and to further emphasize the exceeding manliness of their wardrobes the school boys , \\hen In full dress , wear shirts that have board bosoms and lofty stiff collars. A touch of gayety Is lent In scarlet velvet ralstcoats wlttr glided buttons that the ildcr masculines might profitably adopt , Just s some of the small dinner Jackets have heir lappels faced with sky blue or bright ed satin. Altogether , the little boy Is a ery pleasing object to contemplate these lays , even if ho Is a trifle progressive. IllllHtrOtlOIIH Of FlINlllOIIH. Of the bridal dresses given In the set o sketches , one , and undoubtedly the pret Heat , is made of white duchess silk am chiffon. The chiffon forma the yoke of th waist and shows as an under petticoat , am It Is rucked in close-set gathered pleats The lower half of the body , the sleeves am the top skirt are all relieved by a decora tlon ot silver passementrlo running In Louis XV. pattern and the veil of tulle I adjusted to the hair by a wreath of whit roses.

Dy means ot a tall sllvc comb the veil is fastened to the head , an the train to this gown Is Just what a goc bridal train should be. To one who is to make a second visit ' Hymen's altar , the third costume Is recon mended. In the original this Is an orchli colored satin-faced cloth. Dy orchid celia a very tender tone of lavender Is Indicate- and down the aldo and about the foot tl skirt Is enhanced by a trimming of viol satin , edged with silver braid. Dands lace , violet satin and bright streaks ot si ver braid form the pointed vest ot the bed from which rolls back a ruflle rover of o chld-colorcd silk , trimmed in harmony wl the skirt. A silk Medlcl rises at the bat of the neck , and a bat ot orchid tinted fe beautified with knots of violets , white tul and wired bows of black velvet , complet the attractive toilet.

Ono of the pretty gowns has Us upper portion ot skirt and waist ot sago green cloth , and the lower halves of the richer rlflo green. Doth top ot skirt and body are cut In a series of Jagged points , that overlap the dark green portion , and are finished with black silk braid. Points of sago green ex tend on the sleeve cap , and In the rear this pretty petticoat has Its placket hole snugly fastened by a row of small green buttons. The second school suit Is cedar brown camel's hair , garnished on the scant skirt with full red braid In three sizes. Braid outlines the sloping yoke , edges the cuta way tails of the body , besides' forming the built at once to make room for the candi dates constantly applying for admission. And this state of affairs docs not exist nt Vassar alone all the women's colleges are telling the same talo. Smith college was founded twenty-three years ago , open ing with only twelve students. It now en rolls 1,000 and Is the largest women's college - lego In existence , although Its entrance re quirements are severe , * and It has not of fered any extensive elective Inducements , having adhered strictly to Its regular course requirements. It began with ono or two buildings ; it now numbers twenty-two , with three more about to go up , and still there Is not nearly enough dormitory room for the army of young collegians , and moro real- t denco balls are to bo added. I Mount Holyoke , which has passed through various educational stages , and now ranks among the foremost institutes ot learning , , rose like llio phoenix from the ashes ot Its disastrous fire two years ago. Flvo I now and wonderfully handsome dormitories built last season are now occupltx ! , but , al though no now candidates have been ac cepted since last April , because of lack of space , these buildings are full to overflow ing , and two moro halls could easily have been filled by the necessarily rejected students.

With the first gown Is worn a tidy little walking hat of sage green beaver , well covered with pipings of rlflo sreen velvet. A knot of velvet and two short gray-green plumes- are fastened to the up-tilted edge of the brim. The smart llttlo hat for the sister gown Is a Romncy shape , of brown satin felt , and the long red feathers that flow toward the rear have their quill points thrust into the felt , with knots of pink roses near jtho hair and to one side of the brim. ' MARY DEAN. ' CUOWUUD COLLUGEiT. Ambition * GlrlN KnoekliiB In Vnln at the Uonrn. The rapidly Increasing demand for the higher education for women Is something astonishing. Thirty years ago only two colleges for women existed Elmira and Vassar , Mt. Holyoke being then only a I seminary. Elmtra's first graduating class ] numbered seventeen , while Vassar's could only boast four learned young bachelors of art. Today a single class at Vassar num- i bcrs over 200 students , and notwithstanding I the erection In 1893 of Strong hall , and In 1897 of Raymond hall , both large dormitor ies , also the additional accommodations pro vided In the main building by the recent going up of Rockefeller recitation hall , and the president's and several professors' houses , another now dormitory must be' ' dergraduates and score of fine structures , cannot house all its girls , many of whom live In the village and walk out to chapel and lectures every day. The latest bulletins from Bryn Mawr an nounce that the five halls of residence , Merlon , Radnor , Denbigh and Pembroke , East and West , are overcrowded , and two largo houses , Dolgelly and Cartreff , belong ing to the college , have been thrown open for the undergraduates. And these are only a few of the leading feminine colleges ; the Woman's college of Baltimore , the Sophie Ncwcomb of New Orleans. Wells college , .which Is Mrs. Orover Cleveland's alma mater , the Western , Re serve , and a dozen others , all founded within the last twenty-five years , are splendid proofs of the progress and popularity of a college course for girls. If more evidence Is needed , turn to the adulated colleges , such as Radcllffo with Uavard and Barnard with Columbia , where the privileges are Identical for men and women alike ; or to the great co-educational universities of the west , where Ann Arbor , the Leland Stanford , Jr. , Obcrlln , the Uni versity of Chicago and Innumerable others swarm with brainy young women. The Uni versity of Chicago alone has three big dormi tories for Its fair ECX , while numbers of its girls have to room in the city , So great Is the want ot more facilities to meet the cry for the collegiate education of the gentler persuasion that the College Women's club of New York Is about to take up as ono of Us objects the reinstating ot Evelyn cortege , the Index ot Princeton uni versity , which closed Its doors a year ago from scarcity ot funds , as a largo endow ment Is necessary to run any college , the tuition fees never being sufficient to cover annual expenses. The thice first steps taXou will bo the erection of an administration building , then a dormitory and the providing of a permanent endowment. OK "IVAXHOI3. " 1 A I'hllnilclphln Woimm Skrtchrri by Scott ill Illn Ftiiiionx Novel. Rebecca Gratz , founder of the Foster Jew ish homo In Philadelphia , whose portrait was unveiled In that Institution the other day , was the original of Sir Walter Scott's famous heroine Rebecca In his novel of "Ivanhoe. " It was Washington Irving who told Scott all about Rebecca Gratz , of her many charms , personal and Intellectual , and ot her line I character. Out of these conversations Sir Walter built up his grand heroine In "Ivan- I hoo" a heroine who has been known nnd ' admired by millions who never heard of the original. Miss Gratz was loved by a youth belonging to one of the very best fam ilies In the Quaker city , but , although she loved him in return , she sacrificed herself to her religion and refused to marry htm. Matilda Hoffman , the love of Irvlng's life , was Miss Gratz's dearest friend. The beau tiful Jewess was the daughter of Michael Gratz , an Austrian , who settled in Phila delphia In 1750 and engaged In the Indian trade. After the revolution ho acquired largo landed Interests in many parts of the country. Among these was the Mammoth cave In Kentucky. His daughter was born In 1781 and lived to bo SS years , old. Henry Clay paid her marked attention. Ono of her aunts married Dr. Nicholas Schuylor and was never forgiven by her family. Miss Gratz was very charitable and founded many Institutions , among them the Foster home. She was beautiful and highly cultured In every way. The recently unveiled portrait was painted by Thomas Sully and copied by Miss Wllhclmlne Loos. LEATHER OX I.13AT1IBII. Some Ilnndnomc DcnlKita for Home Adornment. A new style of embroidery which com mends Itself to these In search of substantial needlework Is done with leather on leather. Chair cushions , hammock cushions , borders for heavy table covers and portlorrca are aong the many articles for which It Is used. The ground work la as a rule of some dark , rich colored skin , and th'j work Is done with the lighter shades. A border for a handsome pair of portlerrcs Is of maroon leather , on which Is worked an upright row of fleur do 11s in yellow leathers , with stems and loaves of green. The effect is very handsome and unusual. A chair cushion which was made to correspond spend with a library furnished in quartered oak and Malachite , Is of green leather , with the head of a huge tawny lion worked In. The work Is not difficult it ono can believe these who have made a study of It , and most of all requires practice. The pattern is first sketched on the leather foundation , then gene over with a keen- bladed Instrument made for the purpose , and outlined by tiny silts and holes. It Is into these Incisions that the working leather , which Is cut into strips of various widths , is drawn , thus forming the design. This working leather can be had In almost as many shades as embroidery silk and Is re markably pliable. The needles used are coarse bodkins with blunted points and long , narrow eyes. Many smaller articles Intended as Christmas presents for men are being made , and the work seems particularly well adapted to such use. TIID CUUS13 Of FAMILIARITY. From the Contempt It Ilreciln Cornea Much Mnrltnl UnhnpplncHH. In their strife for mental equality with men , says a writer In the Ladles' Homo Journal , women have unintentionally broken down a fine reserve of manner which pre viously lent ! them an nlr of mystery , of superiority , In the best sense , than which no element Is more successful In holding a man's Interest , love and respect. The young woman who greets a man friend with "Hello , old man ! " or Its equivalent In modern slang , might In return bo called "a peach , " but she would bo a peach with the bloom rubbed off. Every day I become more convinced Chat at the root of the Increasing evidences of widespread marital unhapplncss would bo found the familiarity that breeds contempt. When a boy climbs a tree for green apples or cherries , whichever ho prefers , ho con stantly sees a better one higher up beyond his reach , until he nearly breaks his neck no get the ono out of his stretch , partly hidden by foliage. And so man's ideal woman hangs at the tip-top of the tree of knowledge. If the ideal drops Into his bands ho throns it to the ground as worthless and begins < to climb again. Would it be reason able to think , atl'er working so hard for cherries , that ho would value them long If ho ate a surfeit of them ? Frllltt of PfiHhlon. Dlack velvet ribbons edge the mass of whlto , rufllea which form the petticoat front to some evening gonns. The black and whlto which are seen so much In combination tlthi fall have to bo used with Judgment to avoid a cheapening effect. The babv Persian lamb is to bo found as an effective trimming on the bodices ot many gowns. It la elfectlvo In giving char acter to a gown of one of the pretty shade , of brown. Stylish skirts are made with the plaid on the bias and apparently of the thick woolen material of which golf capes are made. The } are pretty on slender women.
