THE OMAHA DAILY S—_— THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN. " T PARTY STYLES, THEATER the First Regal NEW YORK More and more elaborate grow the winter's cloaks,, those | for theater wear especially resorting to every device for effectiveness. Stole bands of velvet appliqued with em- | broldered edges: are een on long cloth conts, velvet shaping at the shoulders & collar of some sort and often running down on the sleeves in odd ways. With the ornamentation, in Itself ex- tremely decorative, embroldered applica- tlons in separate flower may be! used They are of the cut cloth, the needlework done in silk of the same color and the ornaments placed wherever they show to greatest advantage One clegant matinee coat of pale bisque | eloth displayed a spray on the puft of each | sleeve, and another at the ends of the stole bands at the front of the coat. Vel- | wvet in a deeper sha shaped the stole and at other points heavy machine stitching formed a smart decoration. The most swagger of the the are in the palest colors or white these last are usually reserved for (\\l-n-‘ ing use.

Queer Opera Ralment. Not the least charming features of opera raiment is the muffiing in which fair woman envelopes her head for the short run This, to ensure the safety of the elab- crate colfture as well as becominguess, must be of some airy textile, such as lace, chiffon, tulle or net, though many box owners wear fur-trimmed hoods, whose eolidity 18 no drawback to their charm. These are attached to long circular capes, with wadded silk or fur linings or, if the wearer I8 a young girl, the hood may be separate from the wrap, with the wadded lining turning over to form a simple face border. The gauzy head muffiings are commonly {n squares, In the dimensions of the usual liberty neck muffier. Feather and flower edges appear on the chiffon ones, which coquettish borderings frame & pretty coun- tenance seductively and add something to the warmth of the ends, which are wrapped around the throat. Other thin head scarfs display silver or street | GOWNS. ing could be smarter for a box party, which semi-social occasion calls for something more elaborate than common in dress. With it a black velvet skirt combines beautifully and the white lace or felt hat, which tops the costume may show wreaths of velvet flowers In natural tints. The flowers now blooming in millinery | gardens are invariably of velvet and| though all the flora of summer s seen, | the leaf, berry or spray, which lmitates the sparse and wistful growth of winter, Is more the thing. Among these deckings | holly and mistletoe appear, these forming with green leaves the entire hat in some Instances. A very stunning coat worn with a white moire hat, trimmed with a soft wreath of rdenias, was in a soft cloth with a nap- Mke elderdown. This somewhat clumsy material was curiously and clumsily treated though the result obtained was eminently satisfactory. Made in a three-quarter box shape, the skirt of the garment hung in inverted box pleats. These were tled at Intervals with silk cords and produced a slot-seam look. The same treatment ap- peared at the outer line of the large sleeves, which were pufted into pointe cuffs, heavily stitched. The deep cape col- lar was of a very handsome white lace, with the tie strings of the same cords, with spike finish used elsewhere. Long, halt-fitting coats of black or blue velvet are worn by some of the siylish matinee goers. These may be entirely plain, with only fur trappings to set them off, but many a velvet coat severely simple on the outside will show front facings of white satin magnificently embroldere Again, this faciog may display at the outer edge only a narrow line in ribbon velvet, generally black, but not infrequently sky blue. This device for a little additional elegance is as pretty as it Is inexpensive, and as such coats are made to lap at the front, the lnside trimm need only show on occasions.

Looking Her Best. More than ever is it the alm of .woman to consider primarily her looks and any- thing which tends to her beautification is accepted with open arms. With this state of things styles which have no other virtue than novelty cannot exist long, and have ing run their brief career they come to the And here let us tarry a moment, for Christmas Is over and all the shops have caught the bargain fever. Everywhere one season were often three times the price now asked, and here and there something really desirable may be picked up. First among these things may be reckoned the sets in gray squirrel, which a panic of tear lest the skin should not be worn next season has greatly reduced in price. A long stole collar finished with three fox tafls und a “milliner's” muft—the flat sort with shaped flounces at the openings— composes one of the prettiest of the squir- rel sets. Originally $75, the price of this is now $40, and such furbishings would give a look of splendor to the plainest gown. The flower hats have also fallen much in price, many $25 models now going for $12, while a sireet gown, which was once $50 or more may be had for §20 or less. The price asked for the bargain does not alone depend upon freshness of condition or splendor of materfals. The usefulness of the garment and the popularity of the model are the main things considered, so that elaborate finery and the plainest wear may often be found In the same heap. Unefal Street Suits. Two pretty reduced gowns, shown by a good Broadway firm offer pleasing sugses- tions to the women needing a useful street suit. Made in pale brown cloth, the skirt of one has a drapery offect over two deep flounces. Hrown soutache outlines the un- even edge, as well as the hems of the flounces. The same trimming also shows on the bodice, which is made with double The sleeves are in long puffs, be- ginning under a close shoulder cap and ending at tight braid-trimmed cuffs. With this frock a btown cloth turban with a Persian lamb brim and a lamb collar and muff will be found stylish accessories. The second dress is of blue and black boucle, with broad-tail trimmings. The skirt has a box-pleated front and a foot ket over- A slashed is made oven more unique by wides, double sleeves, which suggest the sentimental arm coverings of long ago.

WOMAN'S PRIVIL The §ost Valuable Possession n Nor- mal Woman Can Acquire, Whoever says an unexpected thing at a public dinner, and says it well, is entitl d to the gratitude of the company, comments Harper's Weekly. No matter if the unex- pected thing runs counter to some of the convictions of those present; the license that ie issued to an after-dinner speaker carries the right to relieve the mind, oth- erwise no one worth hearing would take such a license out. The remarks of Miss Josephine Daskam at the “Pilgrim Mothers' Dinner last week, in New York, had this surpassing merit of being unexpected. The dinner was given on the auniversary of the landing ot the Pilgrim mothers, by members of the New York Legislative loague. Most of them are pronounced woman suffragists, solicl- tous for all the rights that woman can ob- taln by legislation or constitutional amend- ment. Miss Daskam's theme was “The American Girl of the Future.” She was not very strenuous about rights, reminding her listeners that the recent multiplication of women's rights had mot perceptibly loos- ened the hold of “‘our brother” on the ad- vantages he had always possessed, nor in- creased the strength of women, she sug- gested that the girl of the future may have to choose between her present privileges and ler rights. In which case, said ehe, “I should advise a young girl who asked me what to choose, to hang on to her priv- fleges and let her rights g When we read that in the paper the next day we all smiled, and sald it was a joke on the mothers.” Miss Daskam went on: “If you cannot in this generation get your vote you can always get your voter. I don't think the young girl has changed very much. She has no more mind than ehe used to have, though she may use her mind a little differently. There are two things which woman must always have had to be, since the creation of the world, to be suc- cessful: she must be good, and she must be charming. If she is not good, the world cannot progress; It she is good, and noth- 1ug else, she will be as dull as anything the world ever made; but it she can be good and charming her heritage and posterity can ask absolutely nothing better.” Miss Daskam spoke for the majority. Most of the rights—the legal rights—that have been won for American women in the last fifty years were due and overdue, were well worth winning, and are well worth keeping, but they bave not put her in a po~ sition where she can afford not to be charm- ing. A large share of success in this world goes by favor. There are women who make their way and win their dues by sheer abil- ity and persistence, but the commoner ex. perience Is that the women who get what they want win it more by grace than by main strength. A lot of valuable qualities €0 to the making of a charming woman— intelligence, the quick sympathy Awhich is at the bottom of what we call ““tact,”” kind- ness, unselfishness, sweetness. Charm has not much to do with physical beauty, ex- cept as that itself s a reflection of the inner spirit, for charm is mainly spiritual. No- body should, scarcely anyone does, 1isdain it as an attribute of weakness, for, rightly understood, it stands out as a form ot strength. After all that has been done for American women by leglslators and educators, and college builders and reformers, it still re- mains true that the most valuable posses- sion & normal woman can acquire is a suit- 2s, Dodge round | | and to wax, instead of diminishing. BEE X OPERA MUFFLINGS - able and satisfactory man. Nothing else is quite 8o serviceable In’promoting the ful- filment of her destiny and her content whila it is in the process of fulfilment. Nothing else it she is normal—and there are very few women who are not considerably normal —quite takes a man's place with her. One of her most valuable privileges is of selecting her man, of picking and choos- ing and taking her time about it, and pos- sibly even of changing her mind after she had begun to think she knew it. It is ob- served that women who are good, and have the luck to be charming also, have great | advantages in carrying this important pro- cess of selection to a successful issue. men are available for such girls to choos from, and once the choice s made the re- sulting contentment is more apt to endure The most that legislatures can do for married women is to protect them from bad hus- bands. Choosing good ones is a matter of personal enterprise which laws can do lit- tle to promote. But of course a woman who has few rights and is in complete pos- session of a satisfactory and competent hus- band is better off than if she had more rights and no satistactory means of real- izing her destiny. If the American girl ever has to choose between her rights and her privileges—Including the privilege of being charming, and this Invaluable privi- lege of selecting a man that suits her—she will undoubtedly do well, as Miss Daskam advises, to hold on to her privileges and let her rights go. make such a choice. She will retain her privileges, anyway, and all the rights she can make up her mind to want, besides. Frills of Fashio The more gossamer the sleev tashionable.
