face veil. When It is desired to go to the
extreme In mourning, the widows veil
may fall both back and front. but this Is
quite heavy weight to carry and almost
unbearably hot in warm weather.
Dresses for house wear may be lavishly
trimmed with Grape. providing straight
fiat lines are adhered to as folds, either
in horizontal or perpendicular effects.
A widows cap is seldom seen nowadays
outside the show case Of the fashionable
mourning milliner. When worn. however,
II Is composed of white Hsse and Grape
and, on the whole. may be described as a
coquettish bit Of millinery.
Dinner gowns will be very quiet af-
fairs. since there will be comparatively
no entertaining or invitations to dinners
accepted. Dull voile, net, dull chiffon,
and mousseline de sole are all appropriate
materials. The neck should be high, with
transparent yoke of net, or be cut very
slightly shape. The sleeves should be
long, regardless of prevailing fashions,
and white should be entirely dispensed
with in this toilet
After a period OF six months, a widow
may discard Grape IL she chooses. One
year, however, is the conventional
length OF time for wearing Grape.
She may now wear mourning silks as
armure and dull India weaves, dull chif-
fon broadcloths, voiles and similar
mourning fabrics. Gowns should be self
trimmed and preferably with folds. The
white lanws may now be hemmed or hem
stitched instead of the fold on the edges
and the Grape veil will be replaced by
one of grenadine or Brussels net hemmed
plain or with Grape as preferred.
Crepe de chine may be employed for
dinner gowns or house frocks made on
simple lines and only slightly trimmed.
Dull finished voile, poplin, or panama will
be good choice for afternoon gowns, the
selection depending upon the time Of
year. Dull chiffon taffeta may be de-
veloped into street and also house dresses
India silk, relieved with white bands sug-
gests tasteful, cool morning dress
After the first year Of morning. a widow
wears black for the following nine
months. While the fabrics will be pre-
ferably dull. relief may be given by using
trimmings of a glossy nature, as silk, rib
bon, and braid. The widow will wear a
black hat. but 1t may be trimmed with
wings CT mourning flowers. If a veil is
worn at ALL II should be a clear plain
mesh or a Russian net.
The last three months Of the second
year half mourning is worn. The cos
tune may be black and white, gray, gray
and black combined, or all white.
In the case Of the last named the ac-
cessories may be black, to make II dis
tinct from the aIl-whIte toilet considered
deep mourning. After wearing mourning
for period Of two years a widow may
resume colors.

AN ATTRACTIVE BATHROOM.

White paint and white woodwork are
most attractive IN the bathroom-unless
one is blessed with a luxurious white
tiled and white enameled room, such as
the modern apartment houses provide for
their occupants.
There should always be breeze blow
ing the white curtain at the bathroom
window In summer time. and the shaded
bathroom, with blinds bowed outside or
an awning let down, Is much more
grateful to the warm and weary seeker
the sun pours blindingly.
A growing plant on the window sill
will add 10 the cool suggestion of the
bathroom, and in summer the floor COW
ering may be taken up and a blue and
white rag rug laid before the tub.
Hand-drawn linen window shades
are charming in bathroom windows. Such
windows are usually small and set
rather high in the wall, so such a shade
need not be very large.
II may be hung with loops Of tape
TO an ordinary brass window rod and
should hang fiat against the window
opening, the drawn back or cut work
border running across the lower edge
above a deep hem.
Hand-embroidered and initiated towels
give a suggestion OF luxury and dis
tinctiOn. and the hoysekeeper can do he
simple embroidery very easily and quick
ly in odd moments. But whatever tns
kind OF towels be sure there are always
? plenty. There are few things more
maddening than to be all ready to step
into a bath and to discover that one
must dress and take a trip to the linen
closet for towels and wash cloth.-EX-

PRACTICAL HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEHOLD AND SCRAP BOOK

When packing butter for a picnic wraT
in a cabbage leaf This keeps it COO
and fresh.
When cooking apples add pinch Of
salt. This makes them tender and i'm
proves the flavor.
To remove a scorch mark, cut an onion
in two, rub the scorched part with II,
then soak in cold water. The mark will
disappear in a few minutes.
To clean a dark straw hat. smear a
little butter on an old piece Of velvet and
rub the hat. Leave the butter on for
fifteen minutes, then polish with a dry
piece of velvet.
To prevent a teapot not in regular use
from becoming rusty" put a lump of
sugar into it This absorbs the moisture
and prevents the disagreeable taste.
When making a bread pudding line the
dish or tin with thin paste, put in the
bread pudding, then cover with paste
and bake in a slow oven. This is q
great improvement
To preserve meat in hot weather wash
over with very weak vinegar and water.
and then cover with slices of raw onion.
Before cooking remove onion, and rinse
meat in clear cold water.
Destroy the smell of paint by placing
pailfuIs of cold water in the rooms which
are being painted. Change the water
night and morning. and. when possible,
add a handful Of hay to the water in
each pail
Dampen a carpet. a small portion at Q
time, with a cloth wrung out in strongly
salted water, then rub dry with a clean
duster. This will revive the color won
derfully.
Put old lard into a basin and pour
boiling water over 1t. Allow to get cold,
then pour off the water, and repeat the
process three times. The lard can then
be used for making cold cream.
To tint curtains cream color mix q
bowl Of cream starch and another Of
white. Add a small quantity OF the cream
starch TO the white before each curtain
is starched- This makes the curtains all
the same tone, which would not be the
case were they put directly into the
cream starch.
To keep plants fresh while the house
is shut up, place in a zinc bath as many
bricks as there are flower pots. Put
sufficient water into the bath to cover
the bricks, then stand a plant on each
brick the bricks absorb the moisture, and
sufficient water is conveyed to the plants
to keep them in good conditions
Place in a cardboard box a layer Of
ordinary flour, then lay the forks and
spoons or other household silver upon 1t,
and cover thickly with flour. The pieces
will remain quite bright for any length
Of time. Knives after being thoroughly
cIeansed should be rubbed with vaseline
then wrapped in tissue paper. This will
