Modern Mourning
individuality Has Forced aside Ira

The ritual of mourning. once SO
rigid in its ex3 ctions. has lately under
gone many notifications Individual
ity has forced its way even into this
field OF dress SO long restrained by
rule and by tradition.
The overthrow OF the old ideas began
when the small bonnet which was so

veil. was discarded for the moderately
brimmed hat or toque. and tho change
was welcome and wisely inspired

In Its new arrangement on a hat
instead Of a bonnet, the veil entirely
covers the top Q: the hat or toGuc. and
falls ut the back III long. graceful

brim. which is now SO usual. creates
an under ligh; that reflects softly or

youthful face derives advantage, and
one almost invariably demanded by

spicuously distinguished from that OF
formor times. House gowns, aud those

acceptable mourning fabric, one OF
which is unrvalcd for house Wear in

unlike many OF the mourning materials.
il is never a hiding place for dust.
AS do all black fabrics. crepe dc

size OF a figure that has grown unduly
stout. and II also tends to soften the
outlines of the figure that is too thin.
