MEANING OF FAT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when.
ever a prominent person dies, espe-
2ialiy if he is connected with the gov
eminent the flags on public build
lngs are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and EX-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
lion there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war it
has been the custom to have the flag
OF the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an Amy found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was token not only of
submission, but of respect
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being
sign that. the dead man was worthy
Of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the great
conqueror of all-the angel Of death.

LOOK WELL IN WHITE
VARYING SHADES ALL SUITABLE
FOR BRIDAL FINERY.
Modiste OF Experience viii Study the
Complexion of Her Customer to
Determine the Proper Hue to
Be Employed.

In the olden times it was a com
mon thing to hear people say of some
bride or other, who hitherto had
seemed quite good enough to look
upon, How ugly she looks in white,"
This speech is very nearly impossi-
Bile today, for the very good reason
that fashion considers types and com
pleXions in all of her ideas for the
wedding gown; which is to say that
a smart gown model is tinkered with
until 1t just suits the wearer, and be-
fore this the dressmaker tries ev-
cry conceivable shade of white against
the face of her customer to see which
one goes best with her skin. In
white, as in color, there are a number
Of tones-dead white, pearl white,
oyster white, cobweb white, pale
cream white, etc. Try buying length
of satin or lace out of a bargain bas-
ket and then try to match the color
to I with more material of the same
sort to go with it. The feat is well
nigh impossible although it will not
matter so much if the purchase is a
fine bit of lace in length big enough
to be used alone, for grayish white
lace-the tone called cobweb-is some
times superb in pure white yelling

The bride looking for absolute be-
comingness in her wedding fixings,

must also get very delicate lace web

The illustration presents an indoor

very girlish style, and it is bound to

look young and appears best in simple

SHOES DEMAND PROPER CARE
Will Respond to Good Treatment and
Are Quick to Resent Neglect
or Carelessness.

Not very long ago the average wom-
an felt she was becoming quite gay
and extravagant when she INDUCED in
the luxury of buying each season
many pairs of shoes. Today she be-
lieves it is economy. Shoes. even the
best of them, need rest; and, If they
are to last long and always appear at
their best, they demand 1t. And in
cidentally there is something very
restful to ones feet in a change of
shoes.
If you have few shoes or many, be
sure to remember that you must treat
them with consideration. The shoe
which is carelessly kicked off and al
lowed to lie where it has been kicked
will soon retaliate for this treatment
by looking its ugliest. All shoes should
be wiped off carefully before they are
put away; and the shoe tree is as es-
sential to the shoe as the coat hanger
is to the coat Each helps to preserve
the original shape Remember, shoe

LONG COATS NOW REVERSIBLE
Double Effects Obtained by Simple
Means and Radical Trans
formation Effected

What more applicable term can be
used in talking of revers than re-
yersible? The very meaning of the
words revers implies double role,
and in no seasons styles is it exempli-
fed more emphatically than in the fall
modes.
Long coats are making usesof the
reversible idea A double effect is OBJ
tainable by turning over one rever,
buttoning back another style, or de-
taching a seemingly permanent collar
and changing it's adjustment with an
entirely new effect.
For the storm coat there are many
buttons and buttonholes that multiply
the roles to be played by the coat. A
long double rever can be unfastened,
turned over to one side and flattened
down into plain protective collar.
A single rever is loosened, the under
portion pulled out and 10, vest is
revealed that was never guessed at

perfectly plain skirt, so by frightening
the sleeves and wearing high guimpe
inside the rolling collar the design
would be sufficiently severe for street
use. AS shown by the sonsy maid Of
the picture the frock is of striped
and plain silk, the plain appearing
alone in the trimmings of the bodice.
This dress likewise presents possl,
bilities for very convenient travel
ing costume, for the lines are suited
to corduroy and serge and cloth, and
the peplum gives enough coat sugges-
ton to make the costume in keeping
with travelling styles. With change
of guimpes, lawn or linen severely
made for actual travelling and muslin
for hotel use, at a pinch this single
costume could take the place of sew

Every woman has a serge or dark

days. Before the summer is half over

that 1t looks a bit shabby For such
people let me suggest buying a set of

black leather. They have just appear.
ed the last few days. The collar is the
round Dutch shape, about three and a
half or four inches deep, with inch
wide hem of the black. This is Joined
to the white part by means Of cat
stitching in coarse black thread, which
gives it a crude but nobby effect. The
plainness of the whole thing is re
lieved by tiny straps of the white
leather which fasten to small gun
metal buckles. The cuffs match ex-
actly and are about five inches wide.
This set worn with a clinging black
charmeuse gown, but in perfectly plain
straight lines would, as you can easily
imagine, set it off most completely.
