Dear Mr.. Editor!

I would ask YOU to allow me space in
yolr valuable Paper to express regret OF the
departure from our midst OF Mr.. 3. Bertel-
sen, manager Of The Christiansted Branch OF
the National Bank. This gentleman was
deep thinking, far seeing and business like,
he taught many to be p%unctual who other
wise might have been careless. But after
we were trained to his habits we saw that he
was right and finally admired his principle
to our benefit, He is a gentleman Of ster-
ling qualities, and made no distinction be-
tween those with whom he came in contact,
he was not easily influenced, having his own
opinion.
His valuable services here no doubt lead
ing to his promotion, we wish him success
in his future sphere Of labour.
Christianstod, Doth January 1910.

the invitation has been given "a hours

| to Grape, silk grenadines are oftenest
chosen. Nuns yelling. uncut velvet
mourning silks and other fabrics hav-
ing a deep. soft luster in pure black
are available, but Grape is, for first
mourning. as nothing else is.
Three fine examples of mourning
hats are shown here. They are from
an establishment which makes a spe-
cial feature of this class of millinery
| Its best examples are found in Amer
lea as the best fabrics are made in
England
In Fig. l a round hat which is part
turban and part toque in outline is
very neatly covered with Grape and
has the brim finished with tiny rows
of folds set very close together. A
beautiful Grape veil is draped about
the hat and falls from the back in fiat
plaits. An ornament of dull jet fast
ems the veil to the hat and serves to
finish this excellent example of hat
for deep mourning.
An exquisite hat made of Grape folds
is shown in Fig. 2. It's only decora-
ton is large. beautifully made ro-
sette also made of folds. placed at the
left side. This is worn without VEIL
for wells are not worn by all members
of family in mourning.
For those who wear mourning for
an indefinite time, silk grenadine is
usually chosen after the first mourn
ing of Grape has been discarded Some
people wear it from the start and
there is enough latitude in the matter
to allow one to do this. Fig. 3 Illus
trates beautiful hat and veil of this
| charming fabric. The edge of the hat
is finished with ruffle made of mar
| row gauge ribbon with border woven
: in. A similar double ruffle is placed
about the top crown. The veil is laid
in folds and draped about the hat,
falling from the back. 1t has woven
in border. A large rosette of the
! gauge ribbon finishes this design,
which may be accepted as an ideal
hat of this material.
Time was when Grape and grena.
dimes were a luxury of the rich, for
they were as fragile as they are
beautiful. The process of cravenet
ting them has so changed this that
they are now among the most durable
of all fabrics manufactured. Their
fibers are practically impervious tc
water. Rain runs through but is not
absorbed by them. In selecting the
material it should be tested, otherwise
1t will be impossible for the purchaser
to be sure of getting the waterproofed
variety. Water is ruinous to the fab
RIGS that have not been made prooi
against it.

BY JULIA HoTToMLEY.

All fabrics, whether selected for
costumes or millinery, when one is in
mourning, should be of good, substan-
tial quality. All styles or modes Sc
lected should be quiet and unobtru-
sive and all workmanship faultless.
Gowns and coats should be made in
the mode but not in any extreme of
the mode. Simplicity of trimming
lends distinction to mourning ap-
parel, as well as finish" and in this
word is held the secret of the most
elegant and desirable results in the
making of mourning clothes. Every
thing must be beautifully finished and
trimmings are most appropriate when
they are placed to really or apparent
ly finish the article which they adorn.
A well made. plain gown of good
material will last out the term of
mourning If one follows the conven-
tional rules which govern in this mat
ter Of time. A well made hat of
properly selected material will out
last the prescribed term of mourning
Poor taste In dress or conduct is
never SO inexcusable as when one is
in mourning. Our friends are not
charitable when we make mistakes;
they cannot be. Our mistake must be
credited either to carelessness or dem
sity.
Certain fabrics have come to be rec
ognized as belonging to and signify
ing mourning. Grape is appropriate
for deep mourning. that is, mourning
for a near relative, and should be used
in millinery and as finish for gowns.
Nothing else can take its place. Next
