The sprinx Weddings:

Mourning Costumes.

There is not great deal of change
in deep mourning from year to year.
Henrietta cloth reigns supreme as the
correct mourning fabric, while crane
wells of varied lengths proclaim the
relative mourned as plainly as the death
notice of parent or husband.
In deepest mourning the Henrietta
are the correct ones to wear. After
three months crepe trimmings NAV he
used; at six months entire gowns of
crepe are considered quite possible.
Widows mourning is the deepest, but
the last year or two It has been the
fashion. las it has been from time i'm

are SO becoming, and tighten the dead

net is supposed to be the widows can.
now caps, even for old ladies'. are out
of fashion, so that the ruche is merely
symbolical
For a father or mother the mourning
is almost as deep as for husband, but
the veil is not so long, nor is the MOURN
ing worn for the same space of time.
All mourning is now laid aside much
sooner than was formerly the case, a
year to wear a long veil being quite
the limit.
1t is difficult to have crepe bopnets
becoming. but there is no reason whv
they should not be made so if only care
be taken to have the bonnet shane fit
quite close to the head. The folds Of the
veil will give all the height that is neces-
sary, and any fancy shape only looks
grotesque under the crepe. When the
mourning is first lightened aud the veil
thrown back, a few soft bows on TOP
of the hat are added, and give a smart
err look.
Many wells of nuns yelling and of
soft heavy silk tissue-a sort of grena-
dine-are now used, always with the
face veil of net with the crepe border,
and by some are preferred altogether
to crepe wells; for wet weather they are
much the best.-Harper's Bazaar.
