BEAUTIFUL MOURNING FABRICS.

Not for years has Grape been so smartIy
in evidence for fashionable and correct
mourning as at present. and the deep
mourning of the English Court will carry
the vogue through the summer months. At
one time Grape was looked upon as perish
able, heavy and stiff. but the new "Cour-
tauld's English Grapes are made of the
finest italian silk, beautifully finished, and
while absolutely waterproof are so soft
that they combine exquisitely with the
clingy fabrics now I'm vogue, especially
with Priestley's Tussah Royal or English
Henrietta both OF which make ideal
mourning costumes. In reply to many in
quiries regarding the correct periods OF
mourning Courtauld's have issued a. card
which gives: Two years for a widow, from
year 10 fifteen months for ones parents
or husbands parents. six 10 nine months
for grandparents six months for brothers
or sisters. and three 10 six months for
aunts, uncles or cousins,

THE SUMMER BEDROOM
It's Furnishings Have Charm That
Is All Their Own.

Summer furnishings have a charm that
is quite foreign to the more pretentious
appointments OF winter, and every season
they seem to grow more attractive. The
new toilet china shown in the shops is ex-
trenely decorative. The quantity shaped
little bowls are adorned with equally
quaint, conventional designs. and there are
lovely foreign looking copper jugs. with
wicker handles. for carrying the morning
hot water. Colored and white tiles or
squares Of glass mounted on a lowered
material matching the room hangings are
provided TO set the pitcher of ice water
upon. and If room is to have two occu-
pants all these fittings are to be duplicated
For fastening back the window hangings
the old-fashioned brass rosette has been
revived.
Speaking of bedrooms suggests breakfast,
for 1t is becoming more and more the Gus
tom to have the first meal of the day in
ones own room. and thoughtful hostesses
always provide one OF the charming little
breakfast sets which are now so common
in the shops for the guest room. along with
tray OF wicker, brass or wood

DANGERS oE THE SEA.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One
day last summer we were ali sitting in the
window Of our cottage, which faced the
ocean. It was a terrible day. The wind
roared and howled and the waves broke
madly upon the beach. The ocean was
covered with whitecaps. In the distance
we could see a small speck. which. 1t
came nearer. proved to be a small rowboat.
It was riding and dancing upon the waves,
threatening every moment to overturn. The
single occupant of the boat was a young
man about eighteen years old He had lost
his oars and was powerless to do anything
to help himself Following this boat was a
