Autumn offers a safe antidote to the
woman who has suffered even slightly
from the clothes hysteria during the
last few months.
Whatever mistakes she has made
she now has the chance TO redeem
them. not by laying in an entirely new
set of clothes, but by modifying her
contrasts and wearing dark hats.

These will convert her from a de-
moralized May queen into a sane and

The question is asked. How long
should a mother seclude herself from
church. calls and the world In general
after a child's death and how long
mourning should be worn" Custom
prescribes one year for the wearing

time il is not necessary TO return
