What Il Modi.h in suits of Ceremonial

One of tho noticeable signs of the
times 20 an adult observer is tue short

adhere to the wearing Of mourning

dimiuution OF the time during which

stances it is not worn at all, plain black.

veil in which tue ladies of n bereaved
family were once expected to be
swathed, is often discarde d in favor of
n veil OF crepe lisse, mousseline de

Oculist, tell terrible tales Of the dam
age done to the sight by wearing crepe
over the eyes; consequently many
women use the mourning veil as a
head-dress. not as veil. They wear

shortened by several months.
In the same way the mourning for

Good sense and good taste is the
