1t would be untrue to say that
mourning fashions are no longer sad.
But their old dreadfulness-for surely
the sombre garb of woe was once hor-
rible-has departed, and. except for
first widowhood. the word is every

the textures used by those who mourn
the dead are included in the ordinary
catalogue of dress. Newest among
these is a veil-like material delicately

A narrow panel-shaped applique of five
rows of braid in two different widths
runs down the front. Similar bands
over the hips give a snug hip yoke eff

The striking feature of the short
tight-fitting jacket is the stoles, which
extend from under the revers almost
to the knees. They are edged with

far as the waist line. Shaped pieces
similarly trimmed with braid fit over
the shoulders, giving something of
the effect of a cape collar. The coat

The buttons which trim the bottom
of the jacket and the tight-fitting

on the hat which matches this cos
tune. The bell-shaped outer sleeves
are trimmed with the narrow braid,
and are, therefore, not too stiff to

Cloth bands are quite as fashionable
as the braids and galloons. All three
are frequently combined on one cos
tune. Indeed, the designer does not
stop there, but adds ribbon, lace and
velvet in bewildering profusion.

The constant ebb and flow of fash
ions find no more striking exemplifi-
cation than in the matter of street
wear.
There was time, not so many sea-
sons ago, when no woman of taste
would appear on the street in any
thing except a severely tailored gown.
But now" and the French designer
shrugged his shoulders expressively,
there is no limit to the elaboration
and extravaganza of street dress. Tex
lures which combine weight with vel
vety softness are loaded with en-
broidery and lace, fur and chiffon, till

The summer gowns were extrava-

But the winter costumes are Gaping

hooks in dull finished jet. The long
chains of wooden beads are allowed for
second black and are considered styl-
ish, though a chain of gun-metal with
no beads at all is thought more 50.
But propose as will the fashion
makers, it is really sweet woman her
self who disposes of the matter, to the
gratitude of all concerned. So when
a maid or matron whose taste is a
matter of social admiration is OBJ

low the kinds and capers of her get
up. These in time commerce likewise
appropriates, such merchants as know
the value of names baptizing their
wares with the titles of their inven-
tors. Who in the English world
twenty years ago did not know a
Langtry bonnet by sight? And who
in Paris to-day does not know

When it comes to black garments
for children the most rigid in the mat
ter of mourning etiquette must re-
joice in the emancipation of the inno-
cents. Only for parents are young
children now supposed to dress in all
black, and then it is considered I'M
feeling to trim their little garments
with crepe. Dull silks are at most
allowed, and if the ages of the be-
reaved tots admit, a white suit and
black sash is thought all that is nee
essary. Many stylish children, ac-

trimmings, and the most regal of
furs.
Furs seem to have reached the limit
of extravaganza. The sweeping Stoles
and pelerines, with muff and often
hat to match, are charming. Yet
even more striking is the use of fur as
a dress trimming. Not only does it
form bands and edgings, but fur me-
dallions-if the name is permissible
are among the latest fads in trim
ming. A snowy white broadcloth
gown is trimmed with lace medallions
whose centers are cleverly inserted
pieces of ermine. MoleSkin is doing
service on the blues and silvery grays,
while sable is pretty on a dull green
or a warm crimson cloth.
Buttons make an important feature
of the winter dress furnishings. There
are hand-painted, embroidered and
crocheted buttons, and even more
fashionable are the buttons of bone
and metal.
Gunmetal buttons are in high favor,
and with good reason. They are eff
fective on either white or black, as
we'll as toning beautifully with any
shade of gray.
White broadcloth is extremely fash
ionable for dressy street wear A gown
of this material has an astounding air
of simplicity. Like the proVerbial white
muslin, it is misleading to the mascu-
line eye. But the more sapient woman
sees at a glance that here is a combi-
nation of elegance and good taste. A
broadcloth requires the most careful
treatment if the aim is to make it
something more than a strictly tall
ored gown.
one of these white broadcloth cos
tunes, which is trimmed with gun
metal buttons, is more suitable for
church or shopping than for coupe
function. The tight-fitting skirt lit
tie more than touches the ground, and
slot seams, which open ten inches
above the bottom hem into fan-shaped
pleats. These give the proper flare
around the bottom.
The short jacket has an Elton effect,
although it's rather deep tight-httlng
stitched belt gives a trim fit over the
hips. 1t is closed at the throat, but
below the fronts are free. They are
ornamented with stitched pieces of the
material in a stole shape. although
these merge almost completely into
the jacket, so firmly are they stitched,
and so vigorously are they pressed.
There is a low stitched collar inserted
with panne velvet, in the gun-metal
shade. The rather scant cape collar is
shaped into scallops. Gunmetal but
tons ornament the bottom of the Jacket,
and the stoles are further ornamented
at intervals with white silk tassels.
The bouffant sleeves have the fullness
laid into the arm hole in inch-wide
pleats. The puff is caught in at the
wrist into oddly-shaped narrow cuffs
trimmed with panne velvet.
The lace hand ruffles are as deep
and full as ever were those sported
by a cavalier at the court of King
Charles. 1t is a pretty fashion, and
has both grace and elegance. Either
white or ecru lace can be used effec-

A smart toque of ermine, trimmed
with a cluster of short white ostrich
plumes, give pretty finish to the cos
tune.
Never was there such infinite va
riety in the way of braids and gal

looms have been whirring for many

season, and yet much of the stock is

doomed to endless worry and perhaps
final disappointment.

After midnight the unruly elements,

the police by starting disturbances in
various parts of the boulevards and on
adjacent streets. Some three hundred
disorderly persons were arrested, but
most of them were discharged after be-

had been made during the whole day;
