years In selecting the foundation for a
bonnet OF this character, one should
choose shape having similar lines,
either Tor bonnet or toquc. A widows

In the example, the foundation is COW

1t will be noticed that the ruche OF
white crepe is no longer worn next the
face, but appears among the folds of the
coronet. This is popularity of the
season. In all models, this fold is of
white crepe, and two or three such folds
are sometimes sewcd among the black
folds. Ties arc noticcably absent in this

mourning for a child.
Mourning for Young Girl
For a young girl, dull-hnished silk
with touches of black crepe is most often
chosen. Such materials arc practical and
durable A pretty model is shown in the
illustration. Compared with the hats OF
this season, it is quite conservative as
