For some time past companies

principles.
None Of them have license. to

to be doing business without hc-n,

schemes can have only themselves
to blame if they lose their money.

MOURNING IN ENGLAND


English fashions in mourning have been

.Nfric;t. Mourning clothes. which were
fast going out of fashion. have been
brought bnck again. Now the death Of
the Queen has enveloped The whole coun-
try in Il sorrow which must find eNples-
sion in some outward and visible form.
and all the fashionable as well as emo
tional significance Of black in dress has
an interest greater than ever before.
The tendency in England during the
pa st 10 wears has been TO tighten rather
tn;ln deepen the mourning dress. to axe
IL more Of an expression of personal feel
