Living Fashion Models

A leading New York firm has recently
created a novel and exquisite nightdress
called the "C%orinne." 1t is made of French
batiste of a web so silky, fine and transpar-
ent that an underslip of Florence silk is
usually worn beneath 1t. Though all in one
piece, a ring of embroidered buttonholes
circles the waist, through which two yards
which to draw the garment close and tie in
a flowing bow in front. The skirt is finished
above the hem by a narrow band of needle
work, and the upper portion is of alternate
strips OF Irish lace and batiste. Designed
especially for summer wear, the "Corinne"
is cut low about the neck, with a V in front,
and from the throat falls away a deep lace
edged frill, which the primrose ribbon holds
in place. The sleeves are particularly
striking. They are horizontally banded with
lace, an edging of which is arranged in jabot
effect, falling from the shoulders nearly to
the elbow, and rosy knots of ribbon at the
top of the armholes give the whole garment
an air Of extreme coquettishness and style.
The little girls wardrobes form no ex-
ception to the ruling in the fashionable
favor OF pique this summer, and the dear
little frock of the wide-eyed little woman

makers excellent juvenile models is Of
plaid pique, a stout, cool. picturesque affair.

antagonism mas served only to retard, not
check, the top skirts development.
In Paris the advanced patterns, that all
the enterprising American dressmakers have
seen, show the wooden toilets to be fully
trimmed and draped below the waist line,
for as time goes on we are to be punched
out in the rear, looped up in front and all
the eccentric slimness is to give place to
something vastly less trying and more elab-
crate. To realize in what direction the
overskirt is for the present moving, a look
at the accompanying sketches may be
taken. Every drapery on the petticoat
begins now as part of the waist, we'll up on
the shoulders, and a variety Of princess
modes is the result. When the result is
effected, in lace over tucked muslin or
chiffon, or in plain wolfe or barge over a
dotted goods, it is lovely and becoming to a
degree.
The New slipper.
Dressmakers who get inside information
speak of longer trains and fuller backs to
skirts to come with an air that carries con-
%viction, but we should not anticipate our
fall shopping and bouts with obdurate and
cocksure modistes. Sufficient unto today are
the interests and vagaries thereof, and a
word may be said appropriately of the
new dancing slipper and the smart afternoon
Tie. Inc supper is Il pretty llLlle tulnS,
modelled exactly on the shape of a mans
dancing pump, with the difference only that
the black satin or patent leather women's
shoe, prettily entitled the countess, has one
strap over the instep. This comfortable
sandal like affair has come over from Eng
>fand simultaneously with the balmoral
schottische and is rapidly ousting the high
heeled, big-buckled colonial slipper that has
given such long and valuable service.
A brown levant morocco tie with a toe
tapering to the d~aintiest square is the choic-
est shoe for afternoon wear, and few and
far between this season are the women in
white shoes. Early in the summers fray
Of frivolities were brought out remarkable

An Omaha Prima Donna

The many Omaha friends of Miss Mary
MunChhoff will be pleased to learn that sue
is rapidly making a name for herself in
European musical circles and that her beauti-
full voice and accurate Interpretation of the
masters have won her much commentator.
The press of the capital city of Germany,
where she das been heard of late in concert
and opera roles, is enthusiastic in it's com
mendation Of her voice, manner and rare
personal beauty.
Before leaving this city four years ago
Miss Munchhoff's ability had been remarked
by many of the musicians here and her sue
cess is in no manner a surprise to them.
She began her studies in Europe under Frau
Nicklass- kempner, enc of the acknowledged
leaders Of voice culture in Europe, and from
the very first gave proof of the possession
of a wonderful voice. Even during the
course of her studies she attracted no little
attention in musical circles. After her COM
pletion of the course at Berlin two years
ago she went to Paris, where she remained
until last March. studying under the direc-
ton of Nine. Marchesi. When sue left
Paris for Berlin last spring Nine. Marchesi
wrote to Arthur Nikisch, director of the
Philharmonic orchestra in the latter city:
ID all you can for this timid American
girl, my most talented pupil
A recent issue of the Potsdamer Intelli-
ge~nce-Blatt, an acknowledged authority in
musical circles, pays the American novice a
splendid tribute and predicts for her a glori-
Gus career in the world of song. Her
voice possesses a wonderful range and the
exquisite birdlike quality that is so much
sought after among singers.
At present Miss Munchhoff Is engaged in
making a tour of Germany and is being
greeted everywhere with the greatest favor

Growth of
WOman'S Clubs

Mrs. Ellen M. HenrOtin of Chicago con-
tributes an instructive review of til growth
of womanS clubs to the July number of the
Bulletin of the Department of Labor, pub
lished by the federal authorities. She states
that in 1898 there were included in thirty
state declarations 2,110 women's clubs with
1872, 023 members, from 1888 of which she
has reports showing the location, name and
object of the club. Such a list must be
highly gratifying to the advocates of these
organizations.
The purposes which called women's clubs
into existence Sin the beginning were simple
in form and usually literary or purely char
liable in character, such subjects as reli-
gion, suffrage and political economy being
carefully Stunned. Friendly intercourse and
self-improvement were the chief objects"
This field, however, was found too small.
Not enough interest could be aroused. More
practical objects were needed. In this way
the department club came into existence
with education, reform, art, philanthropy,
home, science, literature and philosophy as
the aim of the work. "Grappling with edu-
c~ational difficulties and starting school re-
forms disclosed many glazing evils that
affected the children in each neighborhood,
or the home in which they live, or the bread
winner on whom the child depends. Dis
pensing charity led to a more scientific view
of philanthropy, which in turn opened up
all the fields of industrial achievement and
the part that women and children take in
factory and mercantile life"
How earnestly the women's clubs entered
into this work is shown by the fact that
over one-ffth of the whole number of clubs,
or 43l, responded in the affirmative to a
question whethey they pursued the study Of
sociology, political economy and philan-
thropy. The clubs mentioned as doing the
most effective work in this direction are the
Civic club of this city, the Women's Health

club Of this city Is given especial notice.
Among other things it is noted: I'm 1895
the Civic club made its first campaign to
elect women to the school boards. A house

proved to be necessary. The club candidates
were defeated, it is true, but each year the
organization brought forward new candi-
dates and in 1897 seven woven were elected
or appointed to fill vacancies in different
wards, while a member OF the Civic club

About the waist runs a belt of black vefvet
ribbon, tied with loops of white taffeta at
the wrist, and this motif is repeated with
good result on the left shoulder.
Crepon has never passed wholly out of
fashion, and some very smart combinations
of the delightful goods with silk and chiffon
have been made all through the season by
the artists in John Wanamaker's astonish-
ing New York shop. The photograph gives
an excellent example of black crepon over
black taffeta. The overdress falls on a
silk skirt that carries three crisp flounces
and the waist breaks open at the chest to
show a yoke of white chiffon. From the
edges of this snowy breastplate fall back
small lappets crisped with flutes of taffeta

The Duties of
Japanese Women

The chief duty of a Japanese woman all
her life is obedience; while unmarried, to
her parents; when married, to her husband
and his parents; when widowed, to her son.
In the Greater Learning OF Women We
read:
"a woman should look upon her husband
as IL he we're heaven itself and thus es-
cape celestial punishment.
The five worst maladies that afllct the
female mind are: lndocility, discomfort,
Islander, jealousy and Stiffness. Without
any doubt these five maladies atllict seven or
eight out of every ten women, and from
them arises the inforiority of women to-
men. A woman should cure them by self
inspection and self-reproach. The worst OF
them all, and the parent of the other four,
is silliness!"
The above extract shows us very clearly
the position which women have, until quite
recently, taken in Japan. AS a German
writer says, her condition is the intermediate
link between the European and the Asiatic.
Tn the one hand, Japanese women are sub
jected to no seclusion, and are as carefully
educated as the men, and take their place
in society; but, on the other hand, they have
absolutely no independence, and are in COM
plete subsection to their husbands, sons and
other relations. They are without legal
rights, and under no circumstances can a
wife obtain a divorce or separation from
her husband, however great his ofense.
Notwithstanding this. in no country does
one find a higher standard of morality than
among the married women of Japan. Faith
lessness is practically unknown, although
the poor little wives must often have much
to pat W with from their autocratic lords
ard masters. They bear all, however, 81
lently end uncomplainingly, their character
istic pride and reserve forbidding them to
show to the outer world what they suffer.
