Fabrics That Are Suitable and How
They Are Used.
When d woman is bereft of her hus-
band the sense Of loss is so great that
It overshadows everything else, and
she is apt to allow dressmaker or a
too well meaning friend, but one who
may be lacking in good Judgment and
a sense Of the eternal fitness Of things,
to choose her mourning attire for her.
LII the olden times women often bor-
rowed the first garb significant Of their
sorrow from some one who had recent
II been bereft until such time as their
own garments could be made or pur-
chased with the care that such expen-
sive costumes require. This gave them
time to do far more with their money
than they could otherwise have done.
Precedent has established now that
the fine eudora cloth, which is half
wool and half silk, should be the prop
er material for the first gown for all
who can afford 1t. 1t wears SO well
and is SO suitable for other require
ments after the days Of mourning are
past that in the end it is cheaper than
the other goods for the purpose It
also admits of Grape bands and Grape
trimming better than any kind Of
goods. Silk warp henrietta, drap d'ete
and eudora are the proper materials
for first mourning gowns, the drap d'ete
being for elderly women. Dull sur
faced broadcloth may also be used, and
good cashmere, and there is mohair
material woven SO that it resembles

Candy For Children.

This is a delicious candy for chill
dren. 1t can be made with brown,
lump or graduated sugar When made
with brown it becomes very hard; with
lump sugar it is crisp, and with granu-
lated sugar slightly sticky. The method
is the same whichever sugar is used,
and it can be favored to suit the tastes
Of those who are going to eat it. Lem
on juice, vanilla and peppermint ex-
tract can all be used to favor it.
For brown or graduated sugar take
a breakfast cup full Of sugar and the
same quantity Of milk. Put the milk
and the sugar In an enameled pan,
bring to the boil and boil for twenty
minutes, when the candy should set.
Pour 1t into creased tin, and score 1t
well with the point of a knife before it
is cold or it will not break into nice
neat pieces.
When using lump sugar use half
pint Of milk to pound of sugar and
treat exactly as above described. The
favoring should be added just before
the candy Is poured into the tin.

Serving Fruit.

The ideal housewife is the one who
can serve plain food in a perfect man
ner. Even water can look SO unattrac-
tive that one does not care to drink it
unless forced by extreme thirst Tea
and coffee are simple beverages, very
easy to make in the right way, but
quite as often spoiled, Fruit can be
served so attractively that one really
wants to eat it, or it can be placed up
on the table in a manner to repel. An
orange with a clean skin placed on a
spotless plate with a silver knife and
spoon as bright as hand can make
them and fanked by bowl containing
tepid water, also placed in a plate, but
with dainty dolly between them, is
appetizing, whether you care for or
anges or not And that is the way
dainty women serve fruit in the nat

The Mother Goose Artist.

Mrs. Grace Gebbie Wiederseim Of
Philadelphia Is famous for her draw
ings Of comic children, especially her
Mother Goose children, such as Boy
Blue, Simple Simon and Little Bo-
peep. Mrs. Wiederseim has made a
Mother Goose calendar, full Of fun and
grotesque faces. Her comic children
look at US from magazine covers, smile
bashfully upon advertisements and
have their pictures upon humorous
post cards.
The artist Of all these funny children
has the face Of merry child herself
though she is married The first thing
she remembers is making faces, girl
maces Of all kinds, just so they were
ugly. But once 1t came over her sud
denly how hideous she looked, and aft
er that she resolved to make comic
faces instead. After she was grown
and became an artist she still made
grotesque faces, and now for her mod
els she just looks in the mirror and
sketches her own countenance

For widow the coat is of the pre-
vailing style, but severely plain, though
Of the finest material and Jet black.
There are blue blacks and jet blacks.
The jet black only is suitable for
mourning. No characterization should
be put on the coat save Grape covered
buttons or some close Grape trimming.
Furs should be black, though seal is
permitted because it looks black.
The gloves should be glace, and hand
kerchiefs should have the narrowest
borderings, scarcely more than line.
Shoes are of dull kid and buttoned.
Jewelry is Of dull jet and very little is
worn perhaps small pin to fasten the
collar. Long jet chains are used for
watches, or they are fastened with a
Jet bar pin. The widow NAV wear
white lisse ruffies at the neck or lawn

A Hint to DressmaISers.

One Of the most important things for
all home dressmakers to remember is
the cutting of the armhole and the adj
justing Of the sleeve material around it.
Always keep the armhole as small as is
consistent with comfort
1t is nice to put the sleeve into an
unlined armhole, as in cotton waists,
with small cording. The fullness of
material should be kept high" that is,
it should fall as much as possible in a
straight line down from the center Of
the top Of the sleeve. At each side Of
the gathering across the top of the
sleeve try to fit your sleeve into the
armhole with as little fullness as pos
sible. IL fullness will come, take it out
by using small v shaped dart, which
IL properly pressed, will not show. All
fullness should be kept to the center
of the arn-at the elbow, too, as well
as at the top.-Ladies' Home Journal.
