who have costly sables, mink or seal
skin, cannot we'll afford to lay such
pelts aside for several seasons and
buy new; therefore these furs are

course prohibited.
Crepe Has It's Advantages AS A
Trimming.
IT might go In black" admits many
woman, but Of course I'd never
wear crepe" This prejudice against
crepe is widespread over America,
and one marvels why. Crepe Is not
an affectation any more than dull Jet
is an affectation, yet many women
load themselves with dull Jet who
would not wear a collar Of crepe,
much less a crepe band on the mourn
ing veil Of net. Crepe Is really a
most beautiful trimming. 1t gives
grace and distinction to simple
mourning garments that make for
style and modishness and lift the
costume above monotony and dreari-
ness. The French dressmaker uses a
deal of crepe and her mourning Is
graceful, charming-and more often
than not undeniably coQuetush. An
instance of this Is illustrated In
mourning frock for restaurant wear
by Doucet. Crepe Is generously but
not lavishly used as trimming on
skirt and bodice, and the costume is
matched by big muff made of crepe,
drawn into soft folds and knotted at
one side.
One Of the objections to crepe Is
perhaps its costliness. But crepe Is
not as perishable as 1t Is often be-
lieved to be. II 1t is kept carefully
brushed each time 1t Is worn, and Is
covered up when put away. 1t will
retain its fresh blackness for several
months. Water Is the arch enemy Of
crepe, and II one Is wearing a crepe
trimmed costume or handsome
crepe hat, it will be cheaper to take
a taxi home, should shower come
up, than to rely on having ones be-
longings fixed up In some way by
dry cleaner. White crepe is ex-
quisitely lovely for collars and cuffs,
but alas! this fabric is indeed per-
ishable. 1t may not be washed nor
even cleaned with cleaning fluids. The

In summer, also, black is very un-

one can bear to wear black ones self
but everybody knows how forlorn and
unpleasant other women look on q
broiling day, clad in black frocks

however, black Is as comfortable as
any other color and mourning when
well chosen, has a distinct smartncss
and elegance Of its own which col
ors cannot hope to emulate.
All fabrics and materials that glis-
ten must be eliminated Satin is not

green or gray; and since so few cos

The locks will be delightfully."- soft

After a summer of semi-negleot, it
is we'll to give hair and scalp some
special treatment. Go to a hairdres-
ser's and have the ends singed, and

In addition to all this, one Is apt

Formal Mourning Costumes.
After the first six months the
wearer of mourning may go about
little, to the matinee, to informal
bridge games, or to a restaurant for
dinner. Two attractive costumes, In
every sense correct for first mourn
ing wear. but suitable for semi-fes-
tive occasions, are illustrated. The
bridge costume is of dull crepe de
chine with an effective embroidery OF
dull Jet beads on bodice and girdle,
The evening gown is also OF crepe de

tulle lend this simple little costume
an airy daintiness.
The Important Veil Question.
1t is the veil that gives It's char
acter to the whole mourning costume;
and no detail of mourning Is SO gov
erned by convention. The widow
wears a crepe veil over her face for
six months and thrown back after
ward, with crepe-edged face veil
covering the face. For parent or
child short crepe veil, pleated
at the back of the hat may be worn
in conjunction with a bordered face
veil. Or, for parent child. sister or
brother, three-yard bordered veil
may be draped around the hat, the
edge falling below the shoulders, as
shown In the veil pictured. This veil,

its ubservances; and should make
careful study of her new sartorial
problem, that no Inconsistencies In
her costume may betray her isnor-
ance of accepted forms OF correct
ness or detract from the dignity and
sincerity of her mourning garb.
Like all other established conven-
tons, mourning has its reason that
appeals to the reasonable. 1t is first
and foremost, a symbol; and much
as an individual may ridicule or de-
plore the custom of going In black
for the loss of a loved one; when
her own time of grief and loss comes
no argument Is usually needed to
convince her of the excellence of the
convention Of mourning. The sym
boil Of it's somberness appeals to her
stricken heart. and she covets the
kindly protection Of the black garb
which sets her and her sorrow a 1T
tie apart from the careless and Joy
seeking world about her. Every
woman who has worn mourning will

courtesy which met her everywhere

What May And May Not BE Worm
1t is very much easier to select a
mourning wardrobe for autumn and
winter than for spring and summer.
OF late years pure white wearables
have been added to the list Of cor
rect mourning clothes; but white
mourning is worn only in the coun-
try--or in the house, in town, by the
best dressed women; 1t being deemed
too conspicuous and little too
