Lincoln, Neb. FASHION LETTER Lady Modish in Town Topics. Lady Modish 00. Shirt Vakt Suits. For Borne time I have noticed pecu liar alluiing grace a puzzling ja no eais quoi about certain women I have en countered at Newport and in New York, which at once charmed and perplexed me. Many other women wore exquisite gowns, yet it waa perfectly clear that they lacked the essentially graceful quality of their more fortunate sisters. Their gowns were admirable in style, but they possessed a rigidity of bodice that was absent in those I so much ad mired. At a recent dinner four out of six of the women present wore gownB which possessed this distinctive feature, the secret of which when learned proved astonishingly simple. The gowns are called and the title is somewhat mis leading as applied to dinner costume "dhirt waist suite." I say misleading, bacause to the uninitiated a Bbirt waist suit suggests the golf links, a pedestrian tour or a day's sboppiog afoot. The name is a fitting one, nevertheless, for the distinctive feature of these suits is a boneleBG waist, which readily accounts for the undulating grace so much ad mired, and to which I have so often re ferred sb a necessary adjunct to woman ly beauty. With the boned corset and another set of stiff whalebones on top of it, the wonder is that the feminine torso has shown any grace or freedom of movement whatever. A clever creator of beautiful things for women inaugu rated the innovation, and I venture to predict that it is only a question of months when the foolish and beauty marring boned linings will be done away with altogether. The idea of these boneless waists is to fit the well coraeted figure with absolute perfection, leaving all itabeatrBtiiTfrneg unchanged. And this k the only point of resemblance between the new shirtwaist suit of fashion and the shirt waist suit as we UEed to know it Evening gowns of this style are the loveliest things possible, and both large and small women among the fashion ables are rapidy adopting the idea, to the absolute exclusion of all others. As I looked the other day at some of the recent creations of Eugenie, who is re sponsible for this charming io novation, I wondered how it was possible that women ever consented to encase them selves in the old-style whalebones. A geranium scarlet gown of crepe de chine, with a short-sleeve bodice fast ened in the back, was simply a dream of beauty. There were the tiniest of tucks at the shoulders and down the back, while the front was embroidered in a grape design to the' belt line. The skirt also showed this design in a front panel, and had a shaped flounce on either Bide, widening en train in the back. The embroidery was all done in red silk end there were quantities of all sorts of flounces on the silk slip un derneath to make the desirable spread at the bottom. The waist as are all the waists of this sort is worn over a perfectly fitted boneless slip, with the desirable effect I bave already men tioned. Hand embroidery is having the most remarkable run, and is seen on the sheer linen blouses, over silk slips, col. ored or white, which are very popular for evening wear with handsome skirts. Another evening waist of great beauty was made entirely of narrow Valen ciennes insertion, fastening in the back and having short flounced elbow-sleeves. This waa Been over a pink silk slip, and was particularly effective. A pale pink silk waist of the most captivating shade all of these waiBts are of the very choicest shadings with embroidery in chrysanthemum pattern in glistening white silk. Still another had a front of tiny box pleats edged with tuckB. Down the center of each pleat w, a tow of white silk French knots, wh between the pleats a trailing vine ? & worked out in white silk. ThiB wa especially dainty. The suits are made alsc id rough goods, woolenB and broaa uths S. dark blue camel's hair is riid.te with a ekirt close fitting to the k pes and a waist trimmed with a yoke an points ot Irish crochet lace colored dark blue to match the goods. The sleeve has a cuff to confine the fullness from the elbow and the entire garment is sufficiently chic to attract the attention and envy of every modish woman who sees it. An odd red broadcloth showed sometiDy short tucks below the belt line from side to back and bad a deep stitched tlounce about the bottom. An innovation in lingerie is a tine satin petticoat reaching to the knees only. This is very light and thin, taking up scarcely any space. and perfectly fitted over the hips. To T the bottom of this is buttoned a deep, handsome double flounce of nainsook, elaborately trimmed with lace, and very full and wide. The idea is that these flounces may be unbuttoned and laun dered separately. Woman Suffrage Convention. The twenty-first annual meeting of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage associ ation will beheld in Lincoln November 12. 13 and 14, 1901. All state officers, presidents of auxil iary, county and local associations, and three delegates of each local club, with one delegate additional for every twentj five members, are entitled to vote in the convention. The national president, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York, will ad drees the convention and conduct a question box. A. L. Bixby of the State Journal and Miss Laura A. Gregg, manager of the woman suffrage headquarters, will hccT a joint debate on the question, "Re solved, that the right of citizens to vote Bhould not be denied or abridged on account of. sex." A symposium will be conducted by eight prominent state workers on the subject, "How would the enfranchise ment of woman advance the progress of civilization?'' Mrs. Emma Shuman of Nebraska City will preside over a work conference on "What methods of work have proved successful in increasing membership, stimulating activity and extending the club influence? All auxiliary organizations are urged to send complete delegations, and friends of the cause, not identified with the or ganization, are cordially invited to at tend and accept the same bospita'ity accorded to delegates.
