MopIsH MOURNING COSTUMES.

way as to appear a becoming head
dress instead of the particular badge
of widowhood. Grape bands on gowns
and capes and also coats are worn for
six months. Lawn collars and cuffs
are worn for six months. They are
dainty and universally becoming.
after the first six months touches
of white may be added to relieve the
black. Diamonds may be worn after
six months and plain gold ornaments
later, say ten months. For evening
wear the bodice should be worn high
TO the throat and the sleeves to the
wrist. In such cases the materials are
silk volles, wool voles, grenadines,
nuns yelling China Grape and soft
dull silks may be used for dinner
dresses. Young girls should wear
black for six months, relieved with
white after two months and halt
mourning after six months. If the
young should wear Grape it is not re
quired that It be worn over three
months. Boys should wear black
clothes for three months, with black
gloves. Some modern persons put q
band of Grape around the left sleeve
and think their duty done in the case
of young boys, but respect for the dead
requires better showing than this"
But what struck me so forcl5ly in
the matter of the measurement of ones
grief by costume was the latitude al
lowed the young widow in the matter
Of her bonnets. Heretofore it has been
almost obligatory that she wear the
close little bonnet, with a narrow linz
Of white Grape ruching along the edge
This was the very badge of her wild
owhood. Now, IL she wishes. thai
may be left of and she can wear hat
with trimming on 1t. This is really Q
great innovation.
One costume had the dress made OF
eudora, with the heavy Grape in form
Of one wide panel down the front
while the waist was entirely of the
Grape, with tiny shoulder cape Of
the eudora. The dull suede gloves
reached to the elbow. The hat was OF
dull silk covered over a frame. Two
punches of black grapes were set or
the hat. The veil was of a light weight
of waterproof Grape and turned around
the hat. down around the throat and
then left to fall nearly to the feet al
the back. OLIVE HARPER.

A Girl Revolutionist.

In Hamburg, Germany, Elizabeth
Rolph, servant girl, has been SEN
fenced to three years Imprisonment
for political revolutionary activity. In
the Hamburg. local legislature a plan
was set on foot to pass a law which
would deprive hundreds of poor work
ingmen of the ballot. The scheme had
rich capitalists behind 1t. A meeting
of workmen was held to see what
measures could be taken against the
proposed bill. Some of the speakers
were for submitting peaceably to the
wrong when suddenly up the aisle to
the platform from the back of the hall
strobe Elizabeth Rolph her heart OH
fire. She mounted the platform and
flashed forth a speech so full of cleo
tricity and revolt against the rich that
it carried all the audience before her.
She put herself at the head of the
workingmen and led raid of destruc-
tion on the houses and property of
rich Hamburgers. She had such pow
er over the mob that they did her bid
ding like automata. For this she was
sentenced to prison.

color which must make their own ap-
peal to the artistic taste.
II Is the mode to trim picture hats
with whole birds with wonderful tail
feathers that are all curves, but no
curls. Many OF these adornments are
made at the bird factories and for this
reason should not prove obnoxious to
bird lovers.
The reds In fuchsia, Jacqueminot, car
dlnal and motor have a vogue all their
own, and red hats are used with good
effect by women Of taste to top their
frocks of brown and bronze cloth
Some striking hats in brown are also
trimmed with jacqueminot and Amerl-
can Beauty roses, while plumage In all
shades Of red il considered the height
of fashion.
Browns In the russell and tobacco
sons hats. Rlvaling the browns, olive
and moss green appear in many of the
most admired French models Very
charming Paris hats are In taupe, or
moleskln color, smoke and the metallic
grays, and rich raspberry red, plum,
petunia and Iris and strong dark blues
are all seen In the imported models,
while black hats are growing in de-
mand. Then there are the green and
gold shadings the old rose nuances and
the green and brown conjurngs and
indeed such subtle and unexpected in
spiratlons as quite bewllder the seeker
after millinery.

Mrs. Heidemann, Insect ModeIer.

Employed by the agricultural depart
men at Washington is a woman whose
occupation is probably unique. Mrs.
Otto Heidemann places worms, bugs
and insects under powerful micro
scope and makes drawings Of the crea-
lures bodies thus magnifed. After
that she reproduces in clay or other
material the solid bodies Of the crawl
ing, flying things she has drawn. The
insect model is in each case immense
ly enlarged over the creatures original
size. This is in order that all parts Of
it may be studied with ease and exact
ness. The effect is sometimes almost
terrifying. The utmost delicacy of eve
and touch is required for Mrs. Heide
mann's task.

w.srs Working Women Are "It."-

Danbury, Conn.,, Is town of fac
tories, especially hat factories, and IL
per cent of the workers in these shops
are girls and women. They are well
dressed and well to do, many of them
owning their homes. They mingle In
the best society of the town-in fact,
they are the best society of Danbury.
In no other place in the world prob
ably are factory women so happy, so
respected and SO we'll to do. They
themselves say it is all owing to wo-
mems trades union they formed twen-
ty-two years ago. They stuck fast to-
gether and held to their principles and
have always won in case of trouble
with employers, although there has
been little of this. Often factory
girl marries her employer or one of his
sons. The Hat Trlmmers' union is the
largest. having 1,600 members. Mrs.
Ellen Foote was one of its organizers
and Is its president.

Widows are at liberty to spend much
time out Of doors, walking, driving
and, In short, anything which may tend
to assuage grief. A widow is at lib
erty to walk--veiled, Of course-the
next day after the funeral, and no dis
respect whatever would be shown by
availing oneself of these modern rules.
She may wear hat trimmed with
Grape and II short walking skirt for
country walks. She may begin to see
her friends, rather informally, after
six weeks and return visits after an
other week

two years, during which entirely black
Is to be worn one year and nine months
and half mourning three months Dur
Ing the first six months for church and
formal occasions heavy Grape bands
are de rigueur. Often the entire skirt
save for n short distance at the top
Is left untrimmed. Courtauld Grape Is
very expensive, but nothing can equal

the age of seventy-six, she received the
degree of mistress of letters from New
York university. Her first act after OBJ
tanning possession of the SSO,O00,000
left to her by her husbands will was
to double the legacies he had bequeath-
ed to each of his relatives. Thus she
cut off at the outset wearisome, money
eating will contests. one of her next
acts was to call before her the various
hired people who had served the Sages
long and well and reward them ac-
cording to merit. Charles Boss, her
coachman, has driven the Sage horses
forty years, and he received check
for $4,000. Three women got each the
same amount, which proves Mrs. Sage
to be "A good equal rights woman. She
has lately shown much interest in wo-
