Spanish Royal Standard.
From the Philadelphia Times.

The Spanish royal standard is most COM
plicated. The red and yellow of the Span
ish flag is said to be derived from this &C.
currence: In 1878 Charles the Bold dipped
his fingers in the blood of Godfrey. Count
of Barcelona, and drew them down the
counts golden shield, in token OF his ap-
probation of the latters bravery. The
shield, so marked, became the arms Of
Barcelona, which became part OF Arragon
and its arms We're taken by that kingdom
Now to the royal standard: In the first
quarter, or upper left-hand part of the
flag, are the arms of Leon and CASTLE, the
lion and the castle; the second quarter is
taken Up, one-half by the arms of ARA
gen, one-half by the arms of Sicily. The
upper third of the third quarter directly
under the frsO shows the Austrian colors
the lower two-thirds is divided between the
flag of Burgundy and the black lion of
Flanders; the upper third of the fourth
quarter shows the chequers another Bur-
gundian device, while the lower two-thirds
is shared by the red eagle of Antwerp and
the golden lion of Drabant. and on the top
of all this are two Shields one showing
the Portuguese arms, the other the French
fieur-de-lys. Considerable of a flag that.

Cuban scenes of skirmishing also add to
the belief that We are passing through an

Old FavOritcs and New.
The preference which has been shown to
all that's silk has filled the market with a
great many new and old favorites in the
silk line, and taffeta. foulard, pongee and
crepe de chine will hold their own during
the summer and all will be accepted which
is soft and flowing. Even taffeta has
changed its character by being soft and
p,iable. instead of stiff and rustling.
While the lighter silks show a tendency
to scroll or pompadour patterns. taffeta is
almost invariably spun in checks, though a
novelty has come to us in the shape IF tai

FunereaI Black.
With all the color display of the present
season there seems to be a decided ten
dency to black. Not only is every woman
OF today in possession of a black costume;
but the elegante insists upon wearing 1t in
spite of the heat and dust.
This tendency has created a number CT
distingue toilets of grenadine, eIamine,
coarse-meshed tulle. and. above all, of tulle
embellished with spargles and steel bead
ing.
1t is said that most men are averse to
seeing the feminine members of their
family wearing the color of mourning. To
such feminine members who still nave a
leaning toward black, in spite of remOn-
stranceS from the herds of creation" be
il said that these dainty black stuffs can
be most effectively worn over Colored un-
derskrts and bodice foundations. They
are. therefore, manufactured in gored
lengths to meet this demand, and most en-
ticing samples are shown at The leading
shops. This same fashion is also copied In
embroidered and lace-incrustated batistes.
