Both of these are English fabrics, both
have silk warp and filling of the finest
Australian wool, but the eudora is thicker
frmer and finer and has a deeper, richer
bloom. There is no black all silk goods
that can compare with eudora In beauty
or durability. Grape applied upon this
looks like chiseling. Melrose Is somewhat
like an armure weave with a silk warp
and is very rich, with dull surface.
Drap alma Is thick goods with satin
weave surface and n sort of woolly inside.
The imperial serge Is exceedingly fine and
firm, but rather too wiry to suit some
tastes, and it is better adapted to mourn
ing for young people, who do not require
so much Grape. Grape does not show up
very we'll on the serge.
All silks that are worn as mourning are
of the duh and lusterless varieties. China
and india silks there are In great numbers
all suitable for such purposes. Some Of
the indias are figured with white, in dots
or small sprays. Grosgrain ribbons are
employed as trimming and rufiles of black
chiffon, with edges worked with black
floss. There are also in woods many very
suitable fabrics for everyday use for those
in mourning, and also for children and
young PERSONS The iron frame grena-
dimes are suitable. Armure, Grape cloth,
made of mohair and Australian WOOL

Whipcord is also among the mourning
stuffs when suitably trimmed. Whipcord
takes but little trimming, and that mostly
In round folds.
In one large establishments devoted

WIDOWS entire costume. 1t was simple
and elegant. The dress was of superb
eudora cloth, the skirt entirely plain save

basque closed plainly down the front witt
dull jet buttons. The collar was plaiI

shape, with rolls of black English orap'
above the white Grape widows cap. Th'
veil was of the heaviest courtauld Englisl
Grape, and reached to the bottom of tn,
