Mourning Fashions.

So much black, not intended fof
mourning, is now worn, that it is
more than ever necessary to differen-
tiate the mourning garb by observance
of the small details. Perhaps in re-
Spouse TO this necessity, more ana
more crepe is used in the mourning
dress of the persent.
Entire gowns of crepe are worn, lot
only for the house, but coat and skirt
suits of crepe for street wear
A gown of henrietta cloth or any
mourning material, even dull silk,
is most effective made with the wide
band of crepe reaching more than half
way UP the skirt.
The handsomest crepe is embroid-
cred with flowers worked in dull silk
and this is intended for gowns for
deep mourning.
Another idea is trimming with a
sort of applique of crepe cut into half
moons or scroll work design
The long crepe veil is now arranged
to fall in long, graceful and always be-
coming folds at the back, but it is no
longer worn over the face.
Fashions have changed completely
as regards headgear. 1t is the excep-
ton now to see mourning bonnet
and even widows in first mourning
wear hats with long veiis instead OF
the Marie Stuart bonnet that for so
many years was deemed appropriate.
dull
ings that are very mourning in appear
ance and lighter in weight than henri
eta cloth, while dull black cheviot
has been admitted to the list of mater
ials for street wear in the palmer style
of costume. The dull finished crepe
de chine is very dull looking mater
ial.
The sheer white turnover collars
and cuffs or bands that are worn by
widows in the deepest mourning are
a parent, child, sister or brother, but
the bands are much narrower.
Suede gloves are considered more
fashionable than the glace kid. Pat
ent leather shoes are, of course, incon-
gruous, as would be black satin slip,
pers, dull finished kid with dull jet
beads being the most elaborate style
of slipper allowed.
Very often trimmings of dull jet are
seen ON deep mourning gowns and IL
must be admitted that this dull mour-
ming embroidery looks extremely well
on any elaborate crepe gown.

Christmas Suggestions.

christmas giving is defined by the
pesslmist as spending more money
than one can afford for things that
people do not want, but the optimist
is happy in giving any trifie that will
suggest to the recipient the pleasure
OF remembering.
An interesting item regarding the
mistletoe is that 1t is the only plant
whose roots refuse to shoot into the
ground-a popularity possessed by no
other parasite. 1t is found on the
ground, the line and the apple tree
as well as on the oak.

the small girl will get a vast deal
OF comfort from a set of furnish
ings that can be packed in basket
or cretonne-covered box to be car
ried to whatever room is selected for
the playing.
The pretty custom of decorating
house and church with evergreen is
undeniably a relic of paganism. It
came directly to the English races
from the Druids of ancient Britain,
who believed that if a house was
garlanded with holly, laurel or bay
the good sylvan spirits that loved
such growths and kept them green by
their protecting care during winter
frosts would surely protect the dwell
ing from harm.
Especially at Christmas time let us
make our charity not merely ques-
ton of money, charity is not the
synonym of coin, but of love--a fact
we too often forget Let us use our
brains as well as our purses, being
careful that what we give, just be-
cause 1t may be limited, will be ap-
propriate to the recipient and be
accompanied with love and sympa-
thy. Remember it is not so much
what we give, but the spirit in which
the gift is made, that counts.
For fairs or sales there is nothing
quite so saleable' as cakes and
aprons. Cakes of all kinds and flaw
orings are sure to have purchasers
when fancy articles and the ordinary
knicknacks are left unnoticed. The
majority of aprons should be OF the
serviceable kind household use
with bids and without, in a variety
of colorings and materials. and be
sure there are plenty or white ones
with embroidery or hemstitching. as
well as some fancy, dainty ones, so
so popular now for afternoons wear,
and a few for children.

curiosity that makes 1t apparently

or the cause of mysterious sound by
night.
These two forms of curiosity, the
male and the female originated no
doubt in the early needs of the race
long before men appeared on the earth.
The male animal is interested in the
causes of remote things-.-..ngs
which, upon being run down might
turn out useful for food purposes.
The female is interested in the quick
investigation of near and small things
which may turn out menace to the
lives of her young. The female
watches with intense and lively inter.

male Is prompted to look abroad

fields where his daily prey is found
These two kinds OF curiosity were
among the most potent instruments
in the struggle for racial existence
and In the ultimate development OF
man.
