face veil is worn only at funerals and
the broad crepe border has been re-
moved from the small black net maSGUe
that is sometimes adopted with d bon
net. a rather heavy net was at one
time the customary material for these
little face protectors, but with the COM
ing of warm weather no small veil at
all is worn.
Milliners have been trying the effect
of q very light silky tulle bOrdered by. a
double row of chenille dots, and Wom-
en- whose hair cannot be controlled
without a veil wear such d protector.
AS 70 the long rear veil, for summer
time, black Brussels net is the thing.
1t is cut to fall clear 70 the dress hem,

a narrow fold of crepe inside OF that
Such a drapery is cool, light in weight
and very impressive, and the bonaets
from which these wells hang are tai,
small and nearly always touched with
white. This change in custom has
come about through the PRONUNCIATION
of an edict in favor of young unmar-

woman over IS now wears a bonnet
and veil for a parent, or sister, or
brother.
In case of the loss of a parent, the
crepe bOrdered veil of net falls behi-d
clear to the dress hem. For a sister or
brother the veil is. not crepe bordered,
and hangs only to the knees. The little
bonnet from which it depends IS
usually just a tuft of black and white
roses, having bird wings or wired net
pieces outstanding and delicately pow
dered with the new lusterless Da:ettes
that are scarcely larger. than pin heads.
There is a tone of cheerful resignation
about all these young lady bonnets that
recommends them highly, and as few
faces can quite endure the dull black
crCwning OF silk and crepe, the widows
have lately adopted more white than
ever il their yelled caps.

SECOND MOURNING.
Smart second mourning tailor suits
are made of black poplin and decorat-
ed with a braid in which black and
white threads show in sharp contrasts
Braid is used largely in place of bead
ing, and the usual crepe bands on suits
for full mourning, while the tea gowns,

mgslins for women to wear indoors are
prettily trimmed with pure white
footing in place of lace.
Latterly there has come into the mar
ket hideous but none the less highly
estimated creped leather used in the
makeup of purses and card cases for
the bereaTed. 1t is handsomely mount
ed with gun metal, and is actually a
fine kid skin put through process that
gives it the appearance of English
ceepe.
Something to be unreservedly recon-
mended is the mourning parasol of
dead finished taffeta, tucked in fantas-
Tic lines and fitted with a rather long
stick of preftily carved teak wood. No
srilis and furbelows appear on these
Correct sunshades, though a number of
them are lined with black or d soft

It is always with the woman in
