Prim9 Donna at Home.

Morning costumes are often devised IN
simple fashion, demi trained skirt
with long sacQue, though again We find
basQues with trimmed skirts quite popu
lar Favorite materials are cottoa satines
and cotelines; the former so called. be-
cause they show satiny finish; the latter
deriving the name from rep which
shows distinctly. These goods for the
reason that they are so fashionable, are
sold at the rather high price of about
forty-five cents per yard. Jardiniere ol
Pompadour foulards are gayly covered
with small, bright flowers, and these com
bined with silk, form dressy costumes, to
be worn at summer resorts. Every
thing indeed is combined" and should
have said that the satines and cotelines
just mentioned are combined with plain
materials. The most striking novelties,
however, are the Bandana silks and per
Gales, showing all the extravagant mix
lures of color characteristic of the NEGRO
handkerchief" These of course are too
pronounced for city wear, but will be
seen at Saratoga and Newport, being
especially adapted to garden parties.
When made up into short costumes they
are extremely jaurty in effect, and TO
young ladies will be very becoming. The
Ldneuse or fish wife tunic, as it is some
times called, is as popular now as 1T was
last summer for short costume. Other
pretty skirts for walking costumes are the
Littia and Francesca Nothing would
form a more tasteful finish to walking
skirt than the Hilarie jacket with vest. A

PARAsOIs.
laaI no
styles, are made with sixteen ribs. Now
the effect of the sixteen ribs is much en-
HANGED by the fact that they are gilded or
bronzed, and that with a view of showing
them off, the lining is placed behind them.
Tops are also novel, being very low and
broad. Brocades of all kinds, pongees,
striped, satin wove and Bandana silks are
employed, and the latter, especially, be-
ing striking in effect, will be extensively
used at watering places; the more so as
they are in keeping with the Bandana
silks used for costumes. OF course there
are quiet tones and styles of silk adapted
to people of quiet taste, and for city use.
The size is eighteen inches, and no orna-
mentation appear on the edges. The de-
signs in handles are as novel as the con-
struction of the parasol Light woods
employed, for the handles are carved into
birds heads, among which we find par
rOts, pheasants, swans, chickens, ducks
owls, etc. Insects. also, are represented.
OUT OF TOWN SHOPPERS
munication with Stern Brothers, whose
new building on Twentythird street just
off Fifth-avenue, attracts such fashionable
custom. Their establishment includes
everything in the dry goods l.ne-dress
goods, costumes ready made and to order,
underwear, fancy articles of all kinds, up
holstery, laces, etc. The spring catalogue
prepared expressly for out of the city resi-
dents gives complete information with
full lists of prices.
PRIMA DONNA At HOME.
Imagine me seated in the boudoir of
Mime Marie Roze, the favorItc prima don
ma. 1t is rather small apartment, but
fitted up prettily i'm blue and crimson,
while the music piled ON her chosen Stein
way upright piano is proof that an artists
labOrs are never ending. AS the beautiful
Marie came in to welcome me, with gentle
simdlicity of manner, she was quite as
engaging as when before the public. She
wore a morning dress of dark brown cash
mere, made in princess style, and with
out other trimmings than a band of bright
embroidery which coming up the
fronts extended all around, about
twelve inches above the lower
edge. A band to match appeared of
course, on the sleeves, in which lace fills
to correspond with that about the neck
gave finish. An elegant toilette she's made
plain except a plating on the lower edge.
long sacque and blue velvet bonnet COM
,,lctc the outfit.
Another rich driving toilette, and one
which she sometimes wears to the opera
when only locker on, is of black satin
made with plain high necked basque
trimmed with fine jet passementerie. The
demi-trained skirt falls in unbroken folds
but is handsomely trimmed with jet.
