 Three points in particular need ex-
 planation at this time The first is
 that this is not a Woman's club affair
 as that building is merely rented fol
 the occasion. and though many mem
 bers of the Woman's club will be pres
 ent. an equal number, perhaps, o1
 democratic persuasion. will be con.
 spicuous by their absence.
 The second point is that every wom. - an in town of republican sympathies ., who is willing to pay 75 cents for hel = plate. will be made welcome Ticket! r can be secured at the headquart
 CTS of the National Hughes Alliance. Il
 North First avenue. or of Mrs. Waite
 Talbot. s44 North Fourth avenue. Ol i account of catering arrangements 1 tickets for the luncheon must be pur
 chased before october IS.
 - And this luncheon will be a might, . interesting affair. There will be shor d speeches by the distinguished guest
 and general good time for all
 The third point. to make perfectl. = clear, is that while this luncheon i n to be perfectly good one, an occa q sion that any woman may be proud t T attend, where the culture and brains o n
 are to be much in evidence it will b : in no sense a social exhibition, or | fashion show. The committees are in sistent on this point and have goo reasons for it. There will be wome present who can afford to have all tn ] clothes in the shop windows, but
 they have them they will not wea
 them. IL is sincerely hoped that ther
 will also be present a great many othe women who. to speak plainly. canno II afford to buy every thing they see. bu a whose importance in the communit Is life is just as great, whose intelligenc n and culture are just as pronounced l. whose counsel and wisdom are just a ie much sought, and whose concern in tn u political and civic uP,ift is just a ie deep rooted and effective.
 u The managers have therefore decide d to call it shirt waist" party. No' = that does not mean either, that ever woman has got to go and buy ne' I'll shirt waist, or even wear an old one 'S she has something else available tha ,e is neat. clean and within mile of ap propriate. The term shirt waist ie simply used as in contradistinction l,i ', the fashion plate apparel that appear "i when announcement is made of whs
 is called in the vernacular, a "hig ee toned" dinner.
 .,t The final and greatest reason for tn ,5 simplicity of dress, is to show a proI M ~ CT courtesy toward the train guest
 who, notwithstanding the fact that f, ,a ulterior reasons they have been di. or courteously and untruthfully spoken ,e as a wealthy, silk stocking party, a n, very modest and representative cla an of American women. insofar as veal nd is concerned, though frankly admitt O. that they are on the top rung in r of opect v .i,eiiectuai a..al,iileit, III IT. 10 what lhahes theih "oIeh Whie ai cd perhaps has much to do with the ng simplicity of manner.
