FOR PROPER YOUNG WIDOWS.
They Cannot Mourn Correctly in Elbow
Sleeves or TWo-Inch Hens.

A young widow. who if not herself
sitting up and taking notice yet fears
that she may be the cynosure of critical
eyes, sends the following appeal to
Vogue:
Please give advice for mourning for q
young widow. What is the correct hat
and veil? Are elbow sleeves good taste?
What collar and cuffs are worn? What
materials and trimmings? Give model
for a travelling coat.
1t is pleasant to know that in the
darkness of her affiiction Young Widow
is not to be left without a CLEAN of in
forming light. She pines to be correct.
Vogue gives her information of so care
full character that if she is not a mod
ell of proper mourning the Onus must be
upon her own soul.
ance of young widows desiring to mourn
properly:
If you observe the strictest standards
you should wear a Grape bonnet and veil
in town and Grape hat with Grape or
chiffon face veil in the country. There
is only one correct way of draping a
widows veil. We do not care for any
of the fancy drapings which are some
times seen. These are not good taste.
Elbow sleeves are not good taste in
deep mourning, as they make too much
of an attempt at dressiness. Collars and
cuffs of sheer white organdie are worn
by widows. These have a deep hem
and measure three inches or so in width
For materials use nuns yelling. Henri
eta cloth, crepe de chine, chiffon, dull
veilings or taffetas.
Lace and embroidery are not correct
trimmings, but you can use dull finished
ribbon. net, footings and hemstitched
ruffies. All what can be worn for sum
mer. as it is as deep mourning as all
black for country wear. All your gowns
should be simply made. For your coat
use dull finished pongee, with trimming
of stitched taffeta.
