Of Grape are not so deep on the skirts
as before, six inches being considered
wide enough. Above the bands Of
Grape are set rouleaux an inch wide,
from six to twelve Of them. They are
very rich and make the gown more
snowy, as indeed might be expected
since they make the garment very cost
ly. lam not sure about the price Of this
heavy English Grape, the only kind that
will stand being treated in this way,
but it is expensive, and each roll re-
quires just three times it's own width
Of Grape to be right. But who thinks
Of expense when the heart is crushed
by such anguish? The only thought is
how adequately to show the depth Of
grief and respect for the one gone.
For the last ten years the silk warp
eudoras has been the one material for
first mourning. This is certainly a
beautiful weave aside from its partic-
ular destiny, having a warp so fine
and close that it is almost impossible
to distinguish it. This dead fneness
and soft frosty overbloom render it the
best background possible for Grape
trimming. Nothing has been found to
displace it. Grape folds and bands
stand W like carving over the surface.

When in the summer of 1864 the Lin

the Soldiers home outside Washington
the president was daily accompanied
on his drives to and from the White
House by his special mounted escort
Of tall Ohioans. There was serious
need for such an escort, for Early was
not far away from the city, but the
daily journey sometimes had it's play

History" quotes this Renaissance by
Lieutenant Ashmun of the escort: ut
was in the early autumn Of that year
when one morning on our ride in to the
White House Tad Lincoln, who
alone was riding with his father, de-
manded that the carriage be stopped
and that one of the escort should climb
wayside tree and get him some per
simmons. Mr.. Lincoln acquiesced, and
while the boys wish was being graft
fed the president turned to those near.

A generation ago the environment OF

to be found in large cities. NOW
third Of the population Is crowded INTO
the cities, and the narrow streets, lined
with towering buildings, have become
canyons where sunlight comes in glints
and where blasts Of air laden with pes
tilential dust smother and blind the

trucks, swiftly moving automobiles and
the rushing of trolley cars.

beauty Of the city by more or less infre-

Of which Theodore Roosevelt Is honor

vice president, "but even these are COW

possibilities Of outdoor physical devel-
opment, wonders whether the progress
of civilization is not conspiring with
the arm Of the law to prevent the nat
ural development Of his instinct for
play and love Of nature, and even to
crush out the possibilities of child life
In larger cities"
The object of the Playground asso-
citation is to bring about the establish
ment and maintenance Of Fairgrounds
in the larger cities where children and
young men may eXpend their physical
energy in a way that will be beneficial
to themselves. 1t believes that the
maintenance Of Fairgrounds is not

the state to maintain such space, place

When the Power
Stopped
BY Neffie Dixon
Copyright, 1905. by Homer Sprague

Edna came out of the woods, heI
arms filled with flowers. 1t had been
her first visit that spring, and as she
made her way to the road and stationed
herself beside the trolley tracks she
thought of the difference last year
when they had to drive out from town
and the only sign of the trolley was a
group of men with funny looking in
struments working along the road.
1t was delightful to feel that those
long yellow cars brought town and
country into such close union, and she
peered down the track for the first sign
of the approaching car.
She had understood that they ran
every ten minutes, but after awhile she
grew tired and sat ON rock by the
roadway. 1t must be the very rock,
she reflected, on which she and Jack
had sat while they were waiting for
the wagon to come along.
That had been year ago. Things
had changed since then. There had

Jack had left town for the west-to
forget.
Perhaps-if he were here-she might
well, somehow the arbutus and the
woods seemed to put things in diff
ferent light. She had been a little
mean to Jack Masters. 1t was the
first time she had admitted 1t, even to
herself If only Jack knew.
SO engrossed did she become with
her thoughts that it was fully half an
hour before she realized that in all
that time not a single car had passed
in either direction. She glanced impa-
tiently up the track. 1t was not pleas
ant to be alone on a country road with
the ghost of the dead past. All the
wishing in the world would not bring
Jack back.
A numbering wagon creaked along,
and the driver refined his horses in be-
fore her.

For those who cannot purchase the
eudora there are many kinds Of black
WOODS and melrose and silk warp hem
rlettaS, which are somewhat on the
same order, being twilled finely and
half silk and half wool. There is cam
els hair and a mohair cloth which ID
cleverly woven into crinkles like Grape.
Thls makes an excellent and durable
costume for ordinary wear, but for
first mourning and for church for the
drst six months the eudora is indispeli-
sable.
A costume for a widow shows the
new plan for hats instead Of the regu-
lation bonnet. These hats are gener-
ally OF the tOque shape and have
line of white Grape isse along the
edge where it lies against the hair. In
France the veil Is worn in one heavy
fold which hangs down the middle of
the back. In England, where there is
the greatest stress laid upon mourning
costuming. the veil for the first three
months is worn deep in front and back
and In wide folds. In this country Wild
ows and mothers wear the wells very
deep and ample at least for the first six
months, after which some modification
may be made in favor Of nuns yelling
or lighter quality Of Grape. Grape,
like everything else, Is improved in va
rious ways, one Of them being that by
some trick in the manufacture the ma
terial is made water and spot proof
and another being that the yelling
Grape has been produced in some new
process so that it is soft and silky and
very much lighter. This is a great i'm.
provement, as all who have been so
unfortunate as to be obliged to wear
Grape know. The heavy old standard
Courtauld remains the same, as moth
ing can rival it for folds and TRIM
mings.
Widows and mothers may wear white
lawn collars and cuffs. Others have
rufi1es Of white or black lisse, with en-
broidered edges. as ruff1es. HanGker-
chiefs have the narrowest Of lines, as do
the stationery and cards. These tines
are not graduated, but are all narrow.
Hats Of almost anything black may be
worn by the young, but bit Of Grape
should be put somewhere.
A handsome street dress for widow
has three bands Of Grape around the
skirt and deep yoke Of the same on
the waist, with which short cape is
worn. This is shirred to fat surplice
and bordered with Grape. A street Co.'S
tune for young woman is of fine
black cravenette, with bands Of Grape
at the foot, cuffs and revers Of the
same Eudora is the material employ
ed in the development Of the widows

Children are dressed simply in some
black material for about three months,
with plain black hats and accessories,

MOURNING COSTUMES.


Some Practical Suggestions on This
Somber, but Necessary, Matter
Mourning has recently become all too
common among us. Men who have
lost dear ones are spared many of the
trials which tle wearing of mourning
garb entail upon us women, as a band
Of Grape around the hat or around the
arm, with black garments and gloves
and ties, Is all that the most rigid
mourning etiquette requires of them.
Women, on the other hand, must
wear certain materials, gloves Of
dressed kid, Grape in hats or bonnets
and as trimming on dresses and wraps.
Just now the short cape is the favorite
wrap, trimmed with Grape more or less
lavishly. Bands Of the Grape are laid
over the fabric In skirts and on the

ago. was hero of the Natal campaign.
Kelly was regarded as the strongest
man in his regiment. At Spion kop he
had his left arm shattered by Boer
shell and lay on the hill for two nights.
When darkness set in he crawled
about the battlefield, holding the
sleeve Of his shattered arm between
his teeth. He dragged his rifle with
his left hand and searched the bodies
of the dead for any water that might
have been left in their water bottles.
Kelly survived the amputation Of arm,

Frederic Treves presented him with

Too Tall for Strength.

In tall men, as rule, the body is
out of proportion to the lower limbs,
with the natural result that such men
are unable to bear fatigue or to COM
pete in the struggles of life with their
lesser fellows more harmoniously pro-
portioned. Army experience bears out
these observations. In long and IA
tigulng march the tall men usually
fall out first. A soldier between five
feet five inches and five feet eight
inches or nine inches is usually the
one Lest adapted for bearing extra
exertion.
