White mohair and pure white. serge
are used for driving and walking suits
for the woman in mourning, though
these pure white street costumes are
usually only adopted. in the country.
Trimmings or white braid or white
crepe are in order. and the hat will be
of white straw or chip trimmed with
white crepe or white gull wings.
Feathers are not allowed to the woman
in deep mourning.
With all white costumes worn in

worn, and now that sleeves are shorter

are called, have Z. cleverly devised

White buckskin gloves may also be
worn with driving or walking cos

white must keep away from the pale
yellow glove wear. which is having a
vogue this season with colored cos
tunes.
One of the prettiest things about the
a1l-white costume Is the dainty white
footwear worn with it. Somehow or
other, white shoes and stockings do
not seem to increase the apparent size
of the foot when they accompany an
entire white costume. But, all the
same, the white shoes should be fitted
with even more care than the black
sort, for the tendency of white foot
wear is, of course. to increase the foot
size. Some of the white pumps and OK
fords have leather heels but those hav-
ing white heels, made Of wood covered
with the canvas or buckskin of which
the shoe is made. are the daintiest on
the foot. Stockings for these white
pumps. or oxfords should be as fine as
can be afforded, for nothing Is more
atrociously cheap than cheap white
cotton stocking. Silk stockings which
cling closely to the ankle should be
provided if possible. and If not these
then the very finest quality Of Isle.
White stockings should never be worn
as the least touch OF soil on the instep
or above the heel is ruinous to the
proper effect of the white costume. 1t

the white hose with soap and water
and hang them up to dry overnight.
