THE death Of England's king throws
nearly all the courts OF Europe
into mourning and in consequence
the subjects of mourning apparel and
mourning etiquette are up for con-
alteration more generally than for
many years. Customs change slowly,
especially those which rule In matters
Of greatest moment Rules of eti-
quette governing In the events of
death. marriage. births and social
functions Of high Importance have all
been carefully thought out and are
the crystalized expressions of con-
sideration for others. They are form
ulated from the conduct of those
whose good taste and keen intuitions
put them In position to set examples.
Much latitude is allowed individual
taste in the matter of mourning ap-
parel- Some people decry any special
dress for those in mourning. on the
ground that we should not divide our
sorrows with others. But the great
majority feel that the assumption OF
mourning attire is imperative as
sign Of respect to the dead or to his
family as well as an outward token
OF sense Of loss. To ignore death
seems to cast slight upon the worth
of the departed soul; therefore. an in
creasing number of persons in the
best social circles assume what is
called complimentary mourning"
This Is either badge of mourning OF
some sort, or the wearing of black for
short term. This is a different mat
ter from the mourning apparel as
sumed by members of family. Com
plimentary mourning does not involve
the restrictions which that OF rela-
tives assumes. Certain fabrics are
chosen for those in mourning. These
are Grape. silk genadine, nuns-veiling,
bombazine. net. uncut velvet, crepe-de-
chine, mourning silks. felt, volle and
other fabrics of jet black hue and
Soft luster or dull finish. Grape is
recognized as the correct fabric for
first mourning everywhere, and is in
fact the insignia of mourning. Grape
is used as finish, or decoration, on
other fabrics. and sometimes entire
garments are made of it. 1t is beau
tiful fabric made of silk and having

BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held In New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior to Their
Brothers.

The result Of the spelling contests
in the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro-
the victors being members of the
gentler sex. Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on in the press
and at gatherings where educational
subjects we're discussed.
So far as our information goes there
have been no contests to determine
the pupils in other branches of study,
but 1t would be interesting to know
If this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies, or If they are
confined only to particular branches
Doubtless this result is due in part to
the fact that the female mind ripens
at an earlier age than is the case with
the masculine mind, although there is
little doubt that the feminine intel
iect along certain lines is more acute
than the masculine. which would seen
to justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
In view of the growing number of
young women that are going into po-
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an ac-
curate knowledge of spelling. this dem
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administra-
tion is to be commended upon the eff.
forts It has made to improve the
spelling of the public school pupils
and the triumphant girls to be con-
graduated upon their easy victory
over the boys.

The Outing Spirit.

If you want to have a good time
on your outings you must make up
your mind to help along by acquiring
the outing spirit. This means:
Learn to put up with whatever
turns up.
Don't grumble. fidget or expect i'm
possibilities.
Don't pose. That is. pretend you
like roughing 1t and outdoor life when
all you crave is a crowded board walk
and the glitter of summer hotel.
Don't attempt more than you have
strength for.
Be good sport without being reck-
less
Look after your health. Remem-
ber the workers outing must have
rest and strength building for the un-
derlying motive. Therefore. don't
overtire yourself or trifle with bad wa
ter and messy foods.
Make your outing come we'll within
your means. 1t is foolish to blow
in" in two weeks the savings Of
months.
Season all with a determination to
have good time. keep happy and
never let your temper run away with
you.

USEFUL FOR THE TRAVELLER
Pin Case An Almost indispensable
Requisite When One Is on
Journey.


A new form of the well-known pin
case for travelling is being shown Just
now that makes acceptable prizes or
present for European travellers.
The case is formed like wallet
with a flap at the side that buttons
over with patent clasp. This is
made of cardboard covered first with
cotton batting. then with cretonne
fancy brocades. ribbons or with an
embroidered linen case
Inside there is single leaf adjust
ed to back of case like the page of o
book This is covered on both sides
with white eiderdown or flannel,
which is carried over to line the sides
of case as well.
In this lining is stuck on the outer
cast safety pins in all sizes and col.
ors. On both sides of the inner page
are arranged big headed pins in vari.
Gus sizes and color These can form
fancy borders or star figure below
and border or other artistic group
ing.
These cases may be made in any
convenient size; one four by five
inches gives plenty of space,

About Wells.

When money is scarce there seems
nothing that runs away with ones
money so fast as wells. Their life
is very short-lived one and often a
misadventure ruins them as soon as
bought. Yet we must wear them II
we want to look smart. and to buy
cheap ones is morse than useless. as
they never look well from the day
they are bought The truest economy
is to buy fine net by the yard, says the
Woman's Life. It cuts to better ad-
vantage, you get four wells for the
price of one, and It is of far better
quality and lasts longer than II you
buy yelling pure and simple.

pearing In fiat border or fold. Eng
lish manufacturers have succeeded in
waterproofing these fabrics SO that
rain or moisture does them no harm.
The transition from deep mourning
to colors is accomplished gradually.

| 81, SOC. .000. 900 representing the "a per
cent should not have received any divi-
dends at all.
In the final paragraph of the edito-
rial 1t is stated that l should not be
allowed to pose as business man,
having no interest In common with
the shippers" Inasmuch as my con-
cern shipped an average Of $50, 900 tons
OF finished product during 1906 and
1907. and we were obliged to receive
more than 100000 tons of iron to fur
nish this, plus enormous quantities OF
coke, coal and other supplies, can
safely claim to have shipped in and
out 100000 tons year. and as there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material. or any part of 1t, without
having a revenue from 1t, an increase
of 10 cents ton on my hauling charge
would amount to $4,000 and, there
fore. have business" interests in COM
mon with other shippers" The 100000
tons of finished product shipped repre-
sented In the neighborhood of $40. .000.-
900. This 5000. 900 represented most
ly labor. with the exception Of the
cost of the ore and coal In the mines.
All the balance was made up of wages
and profit on the different conditions
OF the raw material until 1t was fin
ished product.
My Illinois plants produced so per
cent of this amount. or s6.000,000 a
year For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
7, capacity. Therefore. there was 3.000,-
900 year less in distribution because
of corresponding shrinkage in sales.
AS most of our iron and coal comes
from Illinois. this s3.000,000 year was
not distributed in Chicago. as would
have been the case had we worked on
the same output that we did In 1906
and 1907. And a great deal of that
100000 which was not paid was
taken out OF the business firms situ-
ated in or near Chicago by the non
purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the $3,000.000
year for three years. That is the rea-
son why have right. as business
man. to deprecate any unfair or un-
called-for obstacles that are placed in
the way Of my business and the hun
dred other varieties of business In this
country that are affected by the money
put into circulation by the railroads.
When 1t is further considered that my
business constitutes but 10 per cent
of the cost of car and that there
were nine other units similarly affect
ed. most of which would have been
tributary to Chicago, anyone can see
how important 1t is to his individual
interests that the railroad companies
should have ample funds to make these
improvements and purchases. and win
realize how comparatively easy 1t will
be to stand reasonable advance on
the freight for any material he will
need, If he is receiving increased
orders.
