Fashions for MOurners.


Mourning is certainly much more fanci-
full than was formerly considered conven-
tional, and it is really in a transition stage,
for both French and English designs are
followed in combination. The French
mourning is more elaborate-that is, the
trimmings are not nearly plain and Sc
vere but quite the same amount of crepe
is used, and French women wear crepe for
longer time than do the English The ia
vorite English style of bonnet is the Mary
Stuart shape, with folds of crepe around
the face, or a shirred band and then long
veil pinned the hat and thrown back
from the face A short veil trimmed with
crepe, but made of net, is worn over the
face. The French bonnet is a most ornate
affair, trimmed with bows and loops and
rosettes of crepe, with fiat veil pinned at
the back, the veil being apparently neces-
sary. however fncongruous 1t looks, for 1t is
often seen on a walking hattie regular
weeper in fact that is always associated
wit mourning in the eyes of some people.
Crepe is used in the wells that are Worn on
more formal occasions. For general wear
the sewing silk In both light and heavy
weight is preferred. Crepe now is absolute
ly different from what 1t formerly was,
when SO much stiffening was used in it's
construction, and consequently is less
heavy, much more comfortable to wear and
stands wear infinitely better, besides which
1t has the great advantage that 1t can be
renovated and made to look like new so
neatly that 1t Is quite a shame If any one
Is seen wearing shabby black.

New Evening Dresses.

A new evening gown is of soft pink satin,
with an overdress of pink mousseline de
sole, and on this again a white silk muslin
skirt, incrusted with patterns cut out Of
black Chantily lace, the bodice similarly
composed and draped becomingly in the
crosswise fashion. Barrettes of black velvet
form little shoulder epaulets, while IL the
gown is used for what they call deshablle
in France, meaning small evenings or din
ners, long sleeves of mousseline de sole, In
crusted with lace, can be attached at WILL
Poplins are used for and on everything. for
appliQues as well as mantles, gowns and
evening cloaks. One of the latter made for
a smart woman is of white poplin brocaded
in fern pattern, edged with sable. with a
deep shoulder cape, also bordered with fur,
and square lapels and collar cut all in one
piece. thickly oversewed with emeralds and
steel. Nothing could surely be lovelier. or
1t may be added, more serviceable, Irish
poplin being one Of the few materials which
last forever and a day.

Dressy BIOuses.

A dressy blouse which will do for dinner
wear in the autumn and for theater wear
in town Is made Of white glace. lined and
tucked all over. The front. which fastens
down the left side. displays appliques of
lisse leaves and insertions worked with Jet
beads and attached to the silk by means
OF openworked hemstitching in white silk
Another blouse in pale gray glace Is finely
tucked and displays broad plaits worked all
over with French knots back and front, the
yoke. of a lighter tone. with these same
plaits running across the collar showing
deep ecru lace insertions. Another, in white
crepe de chine, Is finely tucked and finished
Oh with lace yoke and collar.

dainty little bows and sometimes with lit
| tie bead ornamentation.
Simply Trim med Felts.

Simple hats of felt trimmed with a scarf
of Roman silk are rendered very handsome
by the of striking jeweled pins, of
which any girl may have pretty If not ex-
pensive ones. Nothing is prettier than the
dainty pins of crystal with cut edges and
n.ountings of silver.
In discussing the question of tailor-made
gowns with one of the leading ladies'
tailors. l was given to understand that the
smartest effects in tailor-made gowns
would be achieved with the use of black
goods preferably brOadcloth. Gray, green
and brown will be used, but less frequently.
In the matter of gloves the one button
affair will hold the place of honor.
1t is an old-fashioned glove revived, even
the site hing suggesting those worn twenty
five years ago. Glace. pique and suede
gloves will also be worn, the colors most
affected being the soft pastels and shades
of gray. For evening wear with the decol-
lete gown whose most pronounced sleeves
are merely straps glace gloves of from
twenty to twenty-four buttons are the cor
rect sort, and these should be either pearl
or white.
Combination COlOrs.
In the making of fashionable gowns for
outdoor wear there is a tendency to COM
bine two shades of cloth. the effect of har-
mony being achieved by the use of deli
cately tinted braids. A charming toilet of
this sort was intended for a modish Ameri-
can woman now in Paris. The body of the
gown was of blue, a panel of red falling
over the hips and coming down the front of
the skirt. Strappings of red and blue alter
mated with rows of buttons formed a deep
border to the panel and to the rounded
bolero that opened over the white waist
coat, with its gold braiding. A satin cein-
ture was shaped to bring out the graceful
lines of the figure The undersleeves of
muslin were made with two very full puffs,
and the tie of white muslin under the chin,
tied in a generous bow, completed a very
striking and handsome design.
Brown Is likely to be a favored color for
the winter. Tobacco brown, with its sug-
gestion of warmth, and the creamy choco-
lates. are colors much in demand among
those who are ordering in advance A
novel idea that is being introduced is to use
narrow black MORE ribbon for trimming
New Neck Fixings.
Boas of chiffon and feathers are likely to
be displaced by the more recent novelty OF
the velvet tippet. These worn with the
smart stitched velvet tailor frocks are i'm

Elbow Sleeves.

Elbow sleeves were said to be likely to
be worn in the daytime at the beginning of
the season. and SO they are. out the arm is
not left bare. On the contrary, the vacuum
between elbow and wrist Is filled up
with a puff of silk muslin or chiffon set in
q band But more fashionable than this
are the sleeves that are supplemented by a
pun to the wrist, which starts between 1t
and the elbow. Many elbow sleeves for
evening gowns are made in white tulle, COW
cred with black spider net, which is of the
very lightest description. revealing a design
of birds. When on, the white lining mtngles
with the flesh tint of the arm and is hard
ly visible at all, the black net proving very
becoming to the skin. A good many sleeves
have a wide turn-back cuff at the elbow
above couple Of puffs Of ivory-toned mus
lin de sole.

For Long Necks.

It is no longer fashionable to have any
trimming at the back of the collar, but wo-
men who have long necks, or whose necks
are beginning to look thin, find 1t a great
advantage to tie piece Of tulle around the
neck. with a bow at the back. This gives
a pretty finish to a stiff ribbon stock collar
and Is almost invariably becoming Only
white or black tulle should be used. For
evening the same thing is often seen worn
even with a jeweled collar or a handsome
necklace. and 1t seems to soften any hard
lines in a most satisfactory fashion Boas
and ruches worn around the neck are very
soft. but not very full unless intended for
quite cool weather. A pretty one is made
Of liberty satin or chiffon trimmed with
bands Of white lace and with a little pleated
edge Of chiffon. Bhis fastens at the throat,
and has long ends edged with lace that
hang down over the front Of the gown.

The Evolution of the Corset.

A lamentable spectacle is presented by
the barbarous corsets now view at the
Paris exhibition composed Of iron and pieces
OF canvas, shapeless and without grace,
which imprisoned the delicate forms of
queens of fashion of bygone periods. The
corset had its origin Ia Italy and was In
troduced from that country into France by
Catherine de Medicis.1 Mary Stuart and
Diane de Poictiers didqnot. however, follow
the fashion. But it was admitted by all
the ladies of the French court that it was
indispensable to the beauty of the female
figure and was therefore adopted by them.

character Of knights cuirass. The frame
was entirely of iron, and the velvet which
decorated the exterior hid a frightful and

White and Black in Millinery.
From the VI llinery Trade Review.


White and black arrangements are par
ticularly suited to dressy millinery. Here is
picture hat covered with white, set on in
rather loose bouillonnes over the brim, and
in a single putting on the low crown; the
brim is yelled with fine black chenille wo-
ven into a simple lace pattern. The hat
rests on the left side, on a semi-coronet Of
white velvet roses, and the outside trim
ming consists of a long black Amazon,
sweeping round from front to back on the
left side, and white paradise aigrette be-
tween 1t and the crown. A somewhat SIM
liar hat, also covered with white tulle and
lined with the same, closely drawn, is en-
tirely yelled on it's outer side with plateau
of black tulle, worked round the edge with
clusters of large spots of chenille; indepen-
dent of this design are several clusters of
silver spangles, with lines of spangles
stretching out all round like rays In this
case the trimming consists of a white and
black Amazon, the hat resting on a black
velvet bow, with a simili buckle.
Black chenille and ffoss-silk cord, inter-
woven together, form the upturned brm of
round toque with a cerise velvet crown
This crown is low and wide, and the velvet
on the top is finely tucked in circles and
then draped down diagonally to its base On
one side is a plume composed Of very small
black cocks feathers.

play a conspicuous part in the construction
Of the winter millinery. 1t may almost be
said to be a velvet season.
The brtms Of hats are seen lined with

Sleeves.

Two old styles Of sleeves are being now
revived-the bishop sleeve of muslin, with
ruching round the wrist. and the pagoda
sleeve. OF a thicker material, which Is worn
over 1t. Jackets also are now seen with
pagoda sleeves. made somewhat large and
short, to slip easily over the bishop sleeve
Of the dress bodice beneath. Jeweled
sleeves of lace are also seen with some
evening dresses and are fastened to the
shoulders with Jewels. This is much pref
tier than the ''no-sleeve' style, which some
women continue to adopt for evening.

A natty little walking costume has a
rather short skirt, with about four inches
of stitching round the hem. 1t is little
full on the hips. but has two straps down
each side of the front seam. A little Eton
jacket fits tightly just above the waist,
where there is large plaid Swiss band.
1t is turned back with revers and collar of
brown glace, tucked and stitched, with a
suspicion of gold gailoon between each
tuck. This is worn over plain white
muslin shirt, accompanied by a big hat
of pearl gray felt. trimmed with a soft
plaid scarf of satin foulard. Altogether,
1t is a charming autumnal costume and
immensely chic.

slightly plated A sort of sailor blouse
has a wide, swathed belt of black panne
with a triple collar of beautiful handmade
embroidery, finished with a tiny black silk
braid. This braiding goes down each side
of the bodice, disclosing little full white
muslin shirt beneath.
A charming autumn dress is a little gown
of bright beige colored cloth edged with
golden beaver fur. 1t opens on each side
over bands of beige colored corduroy, the
same velvet appearing as a vest on the
bodice, which has large lapels covered with
steel and turquoise embroidery and edged
with beaver.

that is they will be worn more than they
were last year.
Pastel colors and red, black and white are
other fashionable shades certain OF large
patronage.
Buckles, square and oval will be used to
gather I'D the bows Of velvet and ribbon.
Toques present one complete change from
those Of last season. They will be very
large and will adopt the empire crown.
Accordion trimming on hats is regarded
as less chic than formerly, although 1t is
to be seen occasionally even in the smartest

Shoes Match Material of Dres..

Shoes and stockings usually match the
dress not only in color but also in material
as regards shoes. With black dresses we
see black silk stockings, inserted with black
lace. and black satin shoes with diamond
buckles on the toes. Gold and silver shoes
are not infreQuently seen with evening
dress. though satin is always more becom-
ing to the foot.

pecially in transparent and light materials,
for evening wear. One Of the prettiest is Of

black olives, which until lately could only
be obtained in this country by special inn
portation from Spain and Turkey, are at
awaken to the facts that uthe olive. like
every other fruit, is at it's best when 1t
reaches perfection In fits own way and in
natures own good time. Once eaten. the
hard, salty, wooden ibered green olive Is
banished forever. Green olives are a mat
ter Of cultivated taste. Ripe olives need no
training to charm the palate. The picked
ripe olives put up in the missions in Cali
fornia are sold loose in bulk. They are
cheap; they are delicious. Once tasted, a
dinner without them is fat stale and un-
profitable.
While the cultivation Of the olive is m
cIeasing in this country Mr. Skinner.
United States consul at Marseilles, writes
to the State Department that the acreage
devoted to olives in France is annually be-
coming less and the outlook for olives and
olive Oil in France Is not at all encourag-
ing. Even in that home of the olive, pea
nut or arachis oil, extracted from the Afri-
can ground nuts, which are imported in
vast quantities. is considered superior for
frying purposes. Not only Is this oil used
to adulterate olive oil, but is frequently
used in place of 1t in packing the cheap
brands Of sardines.
A new device for baby's comfort is the
little armlets used to keep the short sleeves
in place. These are made of ribbon mount
ed on an elastic, like rather fanciful gar
ter. and are used in place Of pins to keep
baby's sleeve just where you want 1t to
stay.
Many first-class cooks like a little to-
mato paste served with their steak. This
is inexpensive, and is made by boiling down
tomatoes to a solid mass. A quart of it
will last a year; teaspoonful laid on the
bottom Of the platter sufficing to season
large steak.
When fried onions are served with beef
steak, they may be greatly improved by
dipping the onions in milk before frying.

Novelties in Neckwear.


Tulle bows appear under many chins,
and ruffies are having wide patronage.
Some novelties have been brought out this
last week in the form Of ruffies in white
and color. the upper ruche colored, the
lower white. Far more fashionable than the
black and white are the white ruffies trim
med with the color of the toilet. They are
more becoming than the dead white, but not
so much SO as the soft black silk and chif-
fon ones which bear the name Of Pierrot
and are an exact duplicate of the ruffs
worn by the heroes of that name. Such
ruffs are quite charming a tall, long
necked woman, but, unhappily, not on those
having a short neck, for they are simply
smothered in them.
A dainty little novelty to a lace neck
Is a black cravat tied in a knot and edged
with gold fringe or passed through gold
slide. Such lace looks very pretty on fou-
lards and other thin fabrics, pointed in the
front instead of straight, as in a yoke and
very often accompanying a fichu folded
round the shoulder line.
The able stock Is made Of wired lace
set with a couple of shaped bands of lace,
like those ecclesiastics sometimes wear. In
deed, the whole thing Is fashioned on the
form of a priests collar. During the hot
weather many dresses have been made with
no collar bands at all, the bands being re-
throat. Some women use the very soft tulle
and tie the bow under one ear but this is
a style that requires to be well worn. The
more close fitting the collar band the more
fashionable. We veering away from
the high mantle collars.

ness trip, who was investigating inc
lands for New York capitalists.
During the long rides over the rugSed
roads OF Northern Arkansas, she. was al
ways CHEEKY, hopeful and observant.
She quickly became acquainted with many
OF natures secrets, and read the rocks as
a book. She loved the mountains, and
their grandeur, she loved nature and
natures God, and the greatness as we'll
as the tenderness of her soul often found
expression, as she gazed on the indescrib,
able beauty OF mountain sunset.
1t was on one of these prospecting trips
In company with her husband she was
overtaken by violent storm and in con-
sequence of the exposure contracted a
cold, which developed into a malignant
fever, and six days later she winged her
way in the midst of painless sleep, to
that plane wherein spirits dwell.
During the brief time here she made
friends OF all she met. Brilliant in con-
versation and perfect entertainer, all
alike were charmed with her. The humble
servants as well as the better favored
were always eheered with smile and a
kind word. The number of her friends
were limited only to the number she knew.
Sunday, September 9th, at four o'clock,
loving friends gently laid her remains in
flower strewn grave in the beautiful
cemetery at Harrison. The soft soughlng
September winds, sang sweet requiem,
while tears of genuine sorrow were ming
led with the falling earth.
