COSTUMES
Morning costumes are often devised in
simple fashion--a demi.traincd skirt, with
long eacque, though again we find basques
with trimmed skirts quito popular. Favor
lite materials are cotton satines and eosolines;
tho former so called because they show u
satiny finish the latter deriving tho name

able are sold at the rather high price OF forty
five cents per yard. Jardiniore or Pompa.

showing all the extravagant mixture OF color
characteristic to the negro handkerchief. >
These, of course, are too pronounced for city
