An excerpt:

"The newest thing in Paris, this spring, is the Patti Jacket, so called after the famous opera-singer, Adelina Patti. It is an exceedingly useful garment, very suitable for out-of-door wear in warm weather, and a capital in-door jacket in the colder months of the year. It can be made in velvet, in cloth, and with a girdle cord worked with jet beads round the edge."
