o THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1896 ITS ALL IN THE CUTTING AND FITTING. C;,E U(‘(omts‘”:]g;s a éto'\,n"mg Bown That Waj' Mase of Brown Hollans. The Vicomtesse Yoes de Ponatvice, who belongs to a cele brated athietic club known as the “‘Societe de Sport,” nf a recent meeting of the sportswomen appeared’in a gown which excited much admiration. It musthave been created by a dress- maker who had just been carefully reading Ouida’s :'Motbs." The description of the toilet I commend to your serious con- sideration: “The stuff wherefrom it w: manufactured was nothing but ordinary brown holland. This brown holland was, however, entirely covered with fine self-colored soutache or nar- row braid, sewn on in waving lines like those which shine upon moire antique silk; the skirt was by no means exaggerated 'in width, and the little jacket opened on a smart waistcoat of white corded satin, high-collared and closed with a succession of tiny jade buttons. The hat which crowned this stylish costume was of plaited rushes of their natural hue, surrounded by a deep band of ecru and white striped corded satin ribon, and fastened on the left side by a buckle of hammered and burnished gold, set with sapphires.” This should impress on your minds Lady Dolly’s remark, “Cut vour gown out of your dog’s iowel or your horse’s cloths if you like, but mind who cuts it.” matron and the maid alike Laferriere, Rouff, Doucet itz have made up innumerable costumes in the ac- The bodices are all covered with embroideries on ts are plain. Elegant, extravagant, exquisite the order of the day, but the Grand Prix is close at hand and it is whispered that each and every one of the well- known Paris houses has a surorise in store, and no woman with a trace ill disclose the cut.or fabric of her costume for that evantful day. One noted dressmaker admits that many of her creations will be composed of a crepe de chine and coarse canvas enters into the compositions of other equally fetching. for they are given an air of great chic by the embroidery upon them done in white floss silk, with white leather lowers with diamond centers. A chapeau which goes with such frocks has a glace silk lining. With one such creation is to be worn a manilla straw, having a narrow border of black garlanded with Marechal Niel roses. The roses are rarely perfect and made of kid. Under the brim is a compact mass of pink ones. Anoth- er hat is of a violine straw, adorned with shaded poppies. These flowers are extremely popular and will also appear on a third hat of thick twisted straw of the new vert saule. The sun- shades will be something to excite both wonder and admiration, being true works of art, created by famous designers. Sleeves are still much discussed and it is perfectly safe to ad- vise you ali not to have any more great puffy affairs, as the leading actresses of the world who set the fashions are many cf them appearing in absolutely tight sleeves frequently un- modified by even the friendly frill or the epaulette. Miss Maud Hobson, the leading lady of Daly’s London Theater, wears in “The Geisha’ a black gown with the skirt lined with rosy pink taffeta. The bodice is entirely composed of lace and steel and diamond embroidery mounted on rose-colored taffeta. The sleeves are of the same handsome stuff and perfectly outline the arms. Very excellent is a gown for a young girl worn by Miss Moore in “Rosemary’’; it is strictly old Victorian and we are assured that with modifications we are to shortly see a return of those styles. The frock to which I allude is here illustrated and is composed of white muslin daintily embroidered and is made over rose si The huge bow that ties the sleeves is of rose-colored taffeta ribbon. Note the arrangement of the hair; by next winter half of us may be wearing ours arranged in a similar manner. This clever actress wears another dress of the same period and a pelisse. The gown is of light blue glace with ecru embroidery. The chemisette is of muslin and lace. With this toilet is worn a large hat of white satin straw lined with pink satin and adorned with pink bows and white feathers. The sse is of dove gray cloth trimmed with black velvet.

But tay a moment. What bne of the Briseg Wore. Several weddings have been noted this week. The one at Grace Church was ex- ceedingly pretty. The bride wore a stylish, graceful gown, and her maids were very attractive in the sheerest of white organdy over glace silk, the necessary touch of color being given by green satin ribbons which | encircled their waists. Their large hats shome in the even- | were becoming and picturesque. The mother of the groom wore a really charm- ing confection which looked as though 1t must have come trom Paris direct. Other frocks and bonnets worn on this occasion | were very ftetching. It seems as though | many of our young people found it diffi- cult to tear tbemselves away from the City, for I have heard of an exceedingly pretty little dinner given by one popular maiden to a few friends, and several luncheons passed off this week with great | eclat. Many will return to town on the 17th of this month so as to be present at the large and brilliant golden wedding reception which will be given by a very popular fam- ily whose home is on Post street.

The fullness of sleeves must be well kept up on the shoulders, and the sleeves fall about an inch over the hand. Lace is especially pretty vahen it veils the hand. Another writer alludes to the bear_lty of our silk petticoats, which she says lrequ?nzly nowadays take twenty- two yards of silk. For instance, a rich _glace has a deep Spanish flounce with vandykes of ruching carried up and tloyn, from which the fullness of the silk increases, and under }hls flounce are many little ruffles. Now, really, I cannot conceive how we are to convey the idea of slimness with such petticoats. sertainly is not quite the thing to appear on the streets in a :I:iiir:nisty, witho?n a jacket, and last year, about this season, I chronicled the fact that Doucet had created a model of a sleeveless jacket in a light weight of b[ack cloth complegel_y lined with black satin. Now it has been d{scovered that this is just the jacket needed by the summer girl to wear over her shirt waist, and I cannot do better than to quote for your benefit a full description of this most useful little garment, for I have yet to zee one of them. : ©It is open down the back to within two inches of the waist, and is entirely open in front, without dart seams, and loose frr}m the under-arm seams. The fronts and the back turn _baclf, }1ke revers, a'most to the waist-line, and of course the satin lining, which is slip-stitched to the cloth, makes the revers perfe_uuy neat. It is held at the shoulders in seams not more than an inch and a half in length, so it shows the shirt xumclemly; is _coul (being so open and without collar or sleeves), and still it is a protection and a compromise. Itextends seven or eg,:ht inches below the waist in modest ripples. A soft black satin scarf ex- tends across the back at the waist and at the terminus of the back revers (the back open seam, which turns back like revers), and passes through the under-arm seams, and fastens in the front under a rosette of the satin. Thus this question has been individually settled, and now it is universally solve_d; for these advantages of the sleeveless jacket Lave been rediscovered by the Paris fashion-makers, and are pronounced correct; so that is sufficient to insure their ready favor and adoption by smart women. Modifications and other models will certainly appear, but this one will hold its own all the season and will be very fash- ionable. Shirt waists of batiste and fine muslin worn with silken rib- bons are vastly becoming and dainty when worn with skirts of white drill or pique indoors. A plain white cambric shirt with good-sized pearl buttons is smart, and one of pale mauvas and pink batiste embroidered is good. A 'lately designed toilet, which is very successful, is of chestnut-brown canvas, lined with brown and orange shot silk, The bodice has a front of ecru guipure, lined over orange satin. It is scalloped on either edge and bordered with a trimming of multi-colored beads and lace. The skirt is plain and the small sleeves set perfectly. A young woman wears this toilet and a matron one of the latest weave of black canvas having a very wide mesh. The back of this bodice 1s tucked perpendicularly and is striped with black satin ribbons. In the froni is a yoke of black satin, covered with guipure, kilted white chiffon ap- pearing in the center. The basque is short and beaded with a jetted band, slanting to a point in the center. The skirt is as usual and the small sieeves have wing-like extensions over them, outlined with the jet. Blouses of flowered muslin bave a charm for me, and fancy how dainty 1s one of a clear white muslin covered with a deli- cate floral pattern, which recalls autumnal tints; it has a garni- ture of fine ecru colored lace and bows of emerald green satin ribbon. Another is sprayed with rosebuds and their leaves, Valenciennes lace and rose pink glace ribbon complete it. A good blouse of white muslin has a yellow spot and is trimmed with lace; ribbons of pale blue satin run with a thread of black make it effective. Beautiful but expensive is a bodice of pale rose glace silk covered with a white gauze, on which are ap- pliqued Brussels lace flowers. MAUCELLA. 1l smart toilets the tent leather. C.

What chance would a body of men have who should go before a convention for political favors without a single vote at their back? What opportunity have women in a convention where every dele- gate has a fight of his own on hand; where there are contested delegations struggling | for the supremacy, factions arrayed against each other, personal animosities to be satisfied, every man with a knife up his sieeve? | Yet this was the case at the Republican convention, and we not only got our plank, but a lot of pleasant courtesies and strong manly encouragement, and we came away with our little suffrage badges fluttering in the breeze and & hallelujah singing in our hearts. 1 Why should the result be any different | at the Democratic Convention?” What has this Democratic party done, in times past, | that makes everybody e im with one loud voice, 1t will do nothing in favor of | woman suffrage.” The newspapers, the politicians, writers (such as Arthur Mec- Ewen), all warn us in the most solemn manner to expect nothing irom the Dem- ocratic Convention. People seem aston- hed when we tell them we expect to take a portion of our very limited means and go to Sacramento. But that is exactly whinat we shall do. The small unterrified will go to the great unterrified. No polit- ical party shall say it w: lighted by the woman suffragists. We will have the me headquarters, make the same efforts nd Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw will ad- dress the platform committee if allowed. Then, if we are ‘“‘turned down,” refused | recognition, sent home empty-handed, the Democratic women of the State will know that we did all we could; that the | party which their fathers®and husbands and sons support has no. use for the mothers and wives and daughters, who also would loyally support it. They will understand that it i1s from one or all of the other parties they must receive their political liberty, But [ do not believe the convention will dc this unjust and impolitic thing. There are no greater sticklers for the ‘‘constitu- tion” than the Democrats. The State constitution of California, article I, section 2, declares; *“All political powerisinherent | in the people.” If we admit that women are “people’’ and the Supreme Court of the United States has so decided, then political power is “inherent” or inborn, or as much the property of women as of men. The men have nsurped it and the women are unlawfully deprived of it. Sec- tion 21 of the same article declares “Nor shall any citizen, or class of citizens, granted privileges or immunities which, upon thesame terms, =hall not be granted to Women have | been declared “‘citizens” by the Supreme Court of the United States, and, therefore, according to this section, they should have | canctake its place.

The revers are of white satin | | covered with a fine applique of grass lawn. The cream-white chine vest, with toucies of green, is veiled with a mousseline de soie, on which is appliqued grass lawn.

This straw embroidery is a novelty and I should not think a very comfortable adornment for long sleeves. i all the privileges granted to men, includ- ing that of voting. But men made this constitution; no woman’s opinion) was asked, no,woman'’s voice was heard, and after this broad and liberal declaration of rights its framers began to nullify it. In the very next para- graph, article II, they state, “Every na- tive male citizen, cvery male naturalized citizen, etc., shall be entitied to vote at all elections—provided, that he is not a na- tive of China, an idiot, an insane person or a ‘person convicted of crime,” etc. Think of the indignity put upon women, while they were peacefully at home at- tending to their womanly duties! Now it is this obnoxious word ““male” that the eleventh amendment proposes to strike out. The women are willing to be barred from voting if they are natives of China, idiotic, insane or criminal. No woman included in this category is pro- testing because she is disfranchised. But there are a good many thousand women< in California who do not belong to any of these classes, but who possess every quali- fication under which men vote, except that, through no fault of their own or anybody, else’s, they happened not to be born of ‘the male sex. The vast majority of these women are moral and law-abid- ing; large numbers of them are well-edu- cated; many are tax-payers; hundreds are in business; in every community they are found in the churches, the charitable organizations, the literary and social circles, They are the conservators of the home, the mothers of the race. Women in California, as well as elsewhere, have made immense progress in the last half century. There is a vast difference be- tween the women who presided over the spinning-wheel and the soap-kettle of those early days, and those who preside over the congressesand the business estab- lishments and the university classrooms of the present day. If a small body of brainy, progressive men, such as framed the Constitution of California, could come together now and, | { in the light of the new era for womankind, could expunge that word ‘‘male” and place both men and women upon the broad basis of theiroriginal Magna Charta, there is no doubt that they would do it; but it is too late. This question of justice and liberty for women must be acted upon by the whole body of voters. Go into the slums of our cities, go where you will, | among the ignorant, the degraded, the drunken, the vicious, there you find the men who will sit in judgment upon the question of political freedom for the women of California. And not one woman in all this great State can go to the ballot- box and piace therein the expression of her own desire in this matter. This con- dition of affairs should appeal in the strongest manner to the honest, intelli- gent, fair-minded men of the State. If they allow prejudice, conservatism or in- diffarence toinfluence them to vote against the enfranchisement of women, by so much they ally themselves with that lower class which will not fail to vote in opposition. OQur fate rests entirely in the hands of the so-called better element of ;he voters. If they fail us our cause is ost. ) This brings us back to the question of the Democratic convention. The condi- tions are not exactly the same as at the Republican convention, During the past six weeks the forces opposing woman suffrage have rallied and prepared for action. _ Since the opening of the cam- paign not one word has been said on the suffrage platform in condemnation of any kind of business, no special reforms have been advocated, no threats or promises made as to what women will do when they get the ballot. Yet the persons engaged in certain occupations have organized an anti-suffrage organization, raised a large sum of money, and prepared for a bitter fight against the eleventh amendment. This corruption fand already speaks in the attitnde of certain newspapers, and will be still more evident as the campaign progresses. This influence will | concentrate upon the Democratic conyen- tion to prevent a woman-suffrage plank in the plattorm. Every possible argument will be made to defeat it; nothing will be left undone. it nas some splendid advo- | cates among the Democrats—men who will fight for it on the floor of the conven- tion if necessary. If there are enoug. of vhese men the resolution will go through, but that cunnot be known until the last moment. . The Democracy runs no risk in adopt- ing this plank. Those who are disgruntied on aceount of it cannot turn to either Re- publican, Populist or Prohibition party, for they will find it in all of these. All they can do is simply to work and vote against it, and the party will be in no wise injured. If, by the one act ofsrejecting tiis plank, the party could carry the State in November, there might be some excuse for so doing, but the feeling against it is not so intense or so widespread as to win a sure majority for the party which opposes it. On the other hand, should the amend- ment carry, and there is a much better prospect for it than appears from a super- ficial view, the Democratic party might as well share in the prestige that will be en- joved by those parties which advocated it. ‘or the sake cf the thousands of loyal Democratic women in the State, it cannot afford to show less confidence in them than the other three parties have shown in their women; nor could it ask for their votes with as good a grace after it has done all in its power to prevent their hav- ing any votes. The week following this convention, the suffragists propose holding a biz mass- meeting in San Francisco. to ‘‘ratify the | planks.” The most distinguished men and women in the State will address this meeting. There will be Populist speakers and Prohibition speakers and Republican speakers, men of wide reputation. It rests | with the Democratic Convention to say whether there shall be a Democratic speaker ot that platform. During the coming campaign the most talented woman eakers in the U 8| gs brought to Cali- ted States will fornia. These women and the many excellent local sveakers throughout the ‘State will be put upon the Ponpulist, Pronibition and Republican plat- forms. It will be & unique feature and will attract immense crowds. The action of the Democratic Convention will decide whether any of these celebrated women shail be placed upon the Democratic plat- form ; for, of course, if it refuse to_indorse the amendment, it could not allow the contradiction of permitting a woman to s;';e‘:k from its party platform in favor of it. Thus far in the campaign the suffragists have conducted their work upon a strictly non-partisan basis, not showing in the slightest degree a’ preference for any one of the three parties who have so nobly stood by them, but according equal honor to all. It remains for the Democrats to decide by their action next Tuesday whether the suffragists will be forced into a certain degree of partisanship. As they most ardently desire that California shall be the fourth State to enfranchise her women, so the{ earnestly hope that the Democratic will be the fourth party to ex- tend the helping hand which will ‘lead to victory. We believe they will do it, and with such support we cannot fail.
