RULES FOR MOURNING
ARE STILL OBSERVED
More Lax Than They Were
Years Ago, but Convention
alities Must Be Recognized.

While ii must be acknowledged h d
the rules I'm regard to mourning are
far more lax thar formerly, still the
convehtionalities are observed, except,
perhaps, by an advanced few, n so
the question OF correct mourning APP
parel to suit the occasion is often
quite puzzling, especially in the case Of
younger women.
The widow, whether youthful, mid
die aged or elderly, will, of course,
adopt the strictly conventional costume
designed to suit her z and general
appearance, but relatives not so close
are often in an unfortunate position,
because there is no fixed ruling for the
garments they must wear.
A daughter mourning a parent uses
crepe for six months-three months
plain black and half mourning for the
next three. That is, at first she will
wear black gowns slightly trimmed
with crepe and a nat OF all crepe or OF
dull silk trimmed with crepe.
Net vsiIs Worn.
yrhe veil will be OF plain net bordered
with crepe. After three months the
plain net veil may be substituted for
the crepe trimmed one, but II must
show neither dot nor design.
Linen collars may be worn with
dresses not trimmed with crepe, a
iruching OF soft white lisse being the
finish to the frocks of deeper
Ing.
Dull cheviot for Street Wear.
Dull cheviot and any dull finished
black goods that is s~easonable may be
developed into street suits.
Wolfe, henrietta and Panama are
suitable materials for afternoon frocks
and simple evening dresses may be of
plain Brussels net, India silk, crepe de
Chine and fabrics of this description.
/ Net, chiffon or mousseline de sole,
either white or black, may be used to
relieve gowns OF sombre materials.
Plain white lawn blouses finished
with black tie and belt, worn with a
iblack skirt, may form a mourning
six months after a parents
death without causing uncomfortable
Such an outfit will be more
convenient than an entire black toilet.

Luncheon or Lunch.

r FROM the new YOrk Herald. H.
Miss Ellen Terry tells us tbs Alfred
Tennyson taught her to say luncheon"
instead OF lunch" The former is In
fact, preferred by English writer's, not
only as a noun, but even as a verb. Thus
Disraeli speaks OF ladies '1uncheoninR on
Perigord pie" In America, however,
though luncheon is considered more ele-
CANT than lunch In describing the meal. IL
is less rarely used, while the verb ito
luncheon would sound like intolerable
affection to most OF US There Is a story
the question once came UP In the
household of Mr.. William Dean HowelIs.
He himself stood up for lunch, as noun
and verb. Mrs. HowelIs declared for Iun-
cheon. An appeal to the Century diction-
airy was made.
Lunch is preferredl' cried Mrs. How
ellis. And who do you think" he slyly
added, 'is given as authority?"
"Who2"
William Dean Howells." answered that
gentleman.
20, he's no authority!' smartly retorted
his wife.
The passage In the dictionary IS quoted
from Venetian Life," and runs as fol-
lows:
w lunched fairly upon little dishes Of
rose leaves delicately preserved"

The Cent school.

l.. H. Sturdevant in the January Atlanta.
A Cent school house is so called be-
aus the children who come to Il bring
each oneGa cent. cIutched tightly In n
little hand, or knotted in the corner OF
a handkerchief, a daily offering, II, the
cent Is forgotten, or lost on the way,
the child goes home for another, that
is all, and has scolding for ca~relessness
into the bargain. The littlest children
go TO it-used to go, rather, for indeed
this should all be in the past tense
rather than the present, the Cent school
being q thing Of the past and, as one
might say, q great aunt of the present
kindergarten, an old woman from the
country, who Is rather plain in her
ways. Eunice Swain would have
thought a kindergarten foolishness. Her
children did not come to school to be
amused, but to work. She put them
on benches I'm her big kitchen, because
1t was warm there, and sat In the din
ing room door and taught them, or
chastised them, as the spirit bade her.
She taught the three RS, and manners,
and truth telling, and, above all, hu-
mility, impressing on these infants
daily that they belonged to a genera
ton, not of vipers exactly, but Of
weaklings.

100000 MISSING Children.

40 HTOm the Atianti mOnlnly.
The birth rate In the United States
In the days OF Its Anglo Saxon youth
was one OF the highest In the world.
The best of authority traces the be-
ginning OF it's decline to the first APP
p~earance. about 1850, OF immigration
ON a large scale. Our great philosopher,
Benjamin Franklin, estimated six chill
dren to q normal American family in
his day. The average at the present
time is slightly above two. For 1900
At is calculated that there are only
about three-fourths as many children
10 potential mothers in America as
there were 40 years ago. Were the
old rate OF the middle OF the century
sustained. there would be $1,000 more
births yearly In the state of Massachu-
sets than now occur. In the course Of
a century the proportion OF our entire
population consisting OF children under
the age OF 10 has fallen from one-third
TO one-quarter. This for the whole
United States is equivalent to the loss
Of about 1000, 900 children.
