2 The parasols this year are elaborate,
and the colorings, combinations, and
new effects in frilling, tucking, insertv
ed Vandykes of richest lace, and ac-
cordion-pleadings are simply marvel-
lous. The richest and heaviest mate-
rials are utilized in strong contrast to
the most diaphanous and perishable.
And very many fabrics which in times
past were never thought of in the crea-
tion of a parasol are now brought in”;
prominent use. The size andshape of
this season’s models are varied some-
what from those fashionable a year

There are now on exhibition en tout
cas of brocade, satin, moire, faille,‘ taf-
feta, foulard, crepe de chines, crepe
lisse, chiffon, grenadine, Indian mull,
Swiss muslin, grass-cloth, pongee,

platted, checked, coin-dotted, embroid-
ered, and striped. Ribbon, lace, net,
velvet, silkawrought mousseline de
soie, pleated chiffon ruches, and ele-
gant guipure appliques are among the
trimmings used for these various
styles. So much fancy decoration pre-
vails that the once handsome plain silk
parasol is now relegated to the realm
of sun-umbrellas.
Hand-Made Lingerie.
Each succeeding yeargadds variety
and extravagance to the department of
fashionable lingerie, and all the novel—
ties in garments of this season are dis-
tinguished for their dainty fineness and
beautiful finish. Hand-made under-
wear of fine nainsoOk, expensiveiy but
not elaborately trimmed with embroid-
ery and lace, is greatly desired by wo-
men of refined taste and abundant
means, but the average woman cannot
please her taste ‘for this‘kind of ele-
gance, even if she possesses it, and the
machine-made garments have to satisfy
her. Fortunately they do not lack
either fineness-or daintine’ss, since they
are made of. the same soft cambrics,
lawns, and mulls as the handdsewn
pieces, and trimmed simply with the
same valenciennes, Torchon, Maltese,
and Uluny laces.

Lovely French Creations.
Crossed cox-sages and many pretty
flchu effects appear upon some of the
dainty creations of French workshops.
Some of the latest (”wages for slender
matrons and young women are hooked
up the back or fastened invisibly', the
front portion draped from side to side,
trimmed with a Y—shaped plasrt-ron that
is edged on each side with a coquille of
lace, or is bordered with narrow ribbon
or insertion, and has a large jabot of
lace of some rich design reaching from
neck to belt.
To Lengthen Skirts. '
Many of the skirts of dresses worn
last summer can be given the required
additional length of the present season,
by removing the skirt-binding, and
adding the necessary number of inches
to the foot of the ski-rt all around, by
, piecing it down with skirt-lining, than
covering this with the dress goods.
Machine-stitch this to make it firm; re-
bind, then cover the whole with a num-
ber of overlapping frills of goods,
matching or contrasting with the skirt
fabric, as is preferred. Care must be
taken in piecing, to use curving, not
straight strips of the goods, or the
pieced pOrtion will have much greater
fulness than the skirt-edge it is joined
to.
A New Coifiure.
Many of the newest coiffures for full-
dress occasions this season show the
hair arranged very high on the extreme
top of the very back of the head. This
style is designed wholly for indoor
coifflur'es, for no hat or bonnet could
possibly be worn above the towering
coils or empire loops, which are often
supplemented by a. jewelled butterfly
poised above the coif, or a high comb
encrusted with rhinestones and faceted
mock jewels of every description.

, PRETENDER TO SPAIN’S THRONE,
Don Carlos -a Brave Man —Immensely
. Wealthy. but Very Penal-ions.
Don Carlos, the pretender to the
throne of Spain, may at any moment
become a prominent personage in the
he has for years, in Loredan Palace,
on the Grand Canal, Venice, where he
and his wife, the Duchess of Madrid,
keep up a semi-royal state. The two
ladies-in-waiting upon the duchess live
within the palace, while the gentle-
men in Don Carlos’ suite c_lub together
and live in a mess, just as officers in
riousness of Don Carlos is such that
any one attached to his suite must
live on as little as possible.
Before the death of his first wife,
with whom he had not lived for many
years, Don Carlos led a life well cal-
culated to give the gossips plenty of
material for their scandals. He seem-
ed to enjoy making his escapades pub-
lic, and even the Venetians, who are
""bypo means prudish, were shocked.
Don Carlos’. first wife, and the moth-
er of his children, was Princess Mar-
guerite, daughter of a murdered king.
She was calledfqueen "by birth and
by the goodness of heart.” She was
a fair woman With soft blue eyes,

DON‘ CARLOS.
Since his marriage to the Princess
Bertha de Rohan, a rather pretty and
stylish young. woman, deSCended from
the ancientsovereigns of Brittany, he
has apparently led a most exemplary
domestic life. He is oftm seen bath-
ing on the Ledo, and going up and
down the. canal in a penny boat in
a most democratic manner. In their
gondola he and the duchess seem al-
most loverlike, both sitting under the
shade of the duchess’ paraso-l.
. Notwithstanding this apparent dem-
ocratic simplicity, they exact from
their friendsand acquaintances court-
,ly homage when they “receive? The
duchess’ royal hand is extended _to be
kissed, and her manner could not be
more ceremonious if she were reigning
Queen of Spain.
ticing that she may be able to-receive
in good form when she does come to
the throne—if she ever does.
_ It is said that the duchess is jealous
of her position and will have no one
forget it. Some of the Venetians
whose pleasure it is to call upon her
object to being reminded of their re
missness when, for some reason, they
haveinot gone as often as her court
etiquette demands. When Sir Henry
,Laird settled in Venice he and Lady
,llaird left cards for Don Carlos and
the duchess at Loredan Palace. What
was their surprise to have their cards
returned to them with a message to
the effect that people calling upon
royalty wrote their names in the visit-
prs’ book, and did not leave cards as
they would when calling upon ordi-
nary people. ‘ "
Don Jaime of Bourbon, the only son
and heir of Don Carlos, was educated
at the Vienna Miltary Academy and
is at present serving as a captain in
the Russian army, practicing against
the day of revcolution in Spain, per-
haps. He has an independent and
adventurous spirit like his father, and
is quite as gallant.
When Don Jaime heard of his sis-
ter’s elopement with Count Folchi, a
penniless artist, a cripple, and a mar-
ried man, he. obtained leave of ab-
sence from his regiment and went to
the Spanish frontier, hoping to catch
the couple on their way to France.
and to kill the count; but he missed
them and they still live to repent their
hasty action. Don Carlos was natur-
ally very much out up ever this es-
capade of Donna Elvira’s. He ad-
dressed a communication to his fol-
lowers announcing that his daughter
was “dead” to him and asking them
to pray for “her miserable soul.” He
would have nothing to do with her,
notwithstanding Donna Elvira wrote
to him from Barcelona imploring his
pardon and making excuses for her
conduct by saying that, since his sec
ond marriage, she had found life mis-
erable with her stepmother, the duch-
ess. Neither this letter nor the fact
that the wife of Connt Fillippo Folchi
-had obtained a ‘divorce, so that the
count was now free to marry his
daughter, had any effect upon Don
Carlos; he had buried his daughter
and would not have her resurrected.
Don Carlos is immensely wealthy,
and with increasing fortune he has
grown avarioious. It is said that his
household expenses are conducted on
an economic scale that would do credit
to a miser. ‘ I '
3- With all his faults, he is as good a
man, and 'in many respects a better
one, than the majority of royal per-
sonages. He is a brave and courage-
ous soldier, daring to rashness. He is
a fine horseman, and can, when he
pleases, effectively assume that air of
divinity which is supposed to be about
a king—Washington Star.
