Crepe de Paris Is the Most Popular
Fabric for Simple Mourning
Found Becoming.

Death is no respecter of times nor sea-

the door in midst of summer gayeties
all plans for further pleasures fly out at the
window The wardrobe which had been
thought out so carefully in springs promIs-
ing weeks to last we'll into the fall no
longer has any value. The problem of fore
ing winter fashions confronts the bereaved
woman
In selecting mourning garb the question
of modes undoubtedly presents itself In this
year of 1905 as it never has before. Put
ting on black" no longer means DOMINIC
stiff. unbecoming garments which make the
wearer looks as IL the last ray of hope had
departed forever. With the new idea that
friends do not leave us when they die, but
that their gentle influences are around us
always has come a new era In the method
of showing grief over mere physical separa-
ton.
Very deep mourning, as represented by
crepe is worn only by the closest relatives
and then for a short interval. Where crepe
is employed in any way. not one bit Of
brillancy should be allowed to appear in

with seam down the center of the front
and a length which clears the ground by
alomst two inches Over this skirt TO the
knees falls ttght-fitting Princess tunic

these frocks are shirred many times about
the waist and finished with ruffies and many
ruchings of dead black tafTeta ribbon with
wide sash Of the same, give these simple
frocks a dressy appearance.
A becoming neck piece for mourning wear

ure to pick up: for, embroidered with mer-
cerized floss and with edges of Valen-

A whole embroidered linen blouse is also
a rewarding piece of the work to have on
hand. for one in a good style costs from
$40 to $50 ready made. Three yards of
linen. at 81 q yard, well worked in a good
embroidery design and scanned with linen

kept forever. When a frand-embroidered
linen blouse wears at some point II is there

be put in, under arm pieces. new cuffs,

nuns. a clever American girl has practi-
cally worn out three waists with 1t; The
original front of the blouse is still intact

work, slim punches of lilies of the valley,
exclusively done.
To return to common earth look out for
short lengths of silk garter elastic, three
yard pieces of pretty border lace Dresden
ribbon, etc. The October bride will soon
be on the carpet, and there is no gift SO
pretty or charming as fancy carriers.
Three-quarters of yard of plain elastic
forms the foundations. The ribbon is then
shirred over this, the lace fiounce or killed

At the outside leg is placed ribbon bow,
