Special Correspondence Of THE star.
PARIS. January %, 1906.
Mourning has reached so elaborate a stage
here that it is not too much to say the
smartest black has even festive stamp.
Everything is done TO relieve the somber
sadness of deuil, ana yet nowhere else is
such a quantity of English Grape worn, for
lf it does not appear in an enormously long
Veil it is literally piled upon frocks.
In fact the French makers adore crane.
and now use it in astouishirgIy new and
dainty ways. As q background for duh
aud rich cmbroideries It is often seen. Hat
flowers are made of it, and the thinner
qualities are sometimes cut up and used
style of those made of chiffon.
When in deep and modish black a young
widow is much admired in Paris and her
charming weeds are recognized properties
for the painter. Almost every year there

Pale green is one of the girls colors for
the season, and coral and rose pink are
still holding very foremost place, while
all sorts of claret, wine and tomato shades
make most effective ball or dinner frocks.
Never were colorings more beautiful, never
was the choice more varied. Altogether,
the evening frocks this season, especially
as seen at some of the large dances. are
evidence of great ingenuity on the part of
the manufacturer. the dyer. the dressmaker
and the wearer.

These ruffies form the top sleeve, the un-

a web in silver thread. The belt is a French

These chic jackets adorn many mourning

Of this one delightful little Jacket was
fastened with Grape frogs from winch ae-
pended ffinges of Grape fuehslas.
Only the oldest widows wear the h1tis
bonnet with white face edge once fasn-
icnable. All the black for such wearefs

models show the very latest shapes ana
delightful ways of draping the veil at the
back. The first widows veil is OF heavy
English Grape with deep woven border
and for six weeks il is worn over the face.
After that a shorter and lighter Grape vel
is draped at the back of the hat. which
in course or time. is lightened by one OF
net borderod with Grape. In both cases a
shaped veil of net, edged with 4 fold oil
Grape, is worn over the face.
Lynx Leads.
The smartest mourning fur OF the moment
is decidedly lynx in which limp Pelts are
also seen on the most dashing turbans.
charming woman shopping in the Rue
dc la Paix yesterday wore one Of these big
turbans-- trimmed at the side with a bunch
of tails. under which, against the hair, was
placed a pair OF black camellias. Her gown
was dull black broadcloth, fairly cor
roded" with crepe. as a bystander put IT,

Everything for first mourning shows this
lavish employment of English Grape, which
despite its sad suggestion, is ornamental %

proper complement of bead wreaths, and
a delightfully."- gowned widow or orphan

Yet all this is taken very seriously, and
if black has grown fuSsy it is only be

beauty and grace for everything, even for
the sad garb of woe.
In matter of material the dull woods

now supplemented by the appropriation of

as cloths with quite a high finish, dull or
