THIS FOR WIDOWS.
Fashion Letter to State journal by
Margaret Mason.

fashion letter from Paris, writ
ten by Margaret Mason. gives the lat
est in smart mourning costumes.
Madame la Mode these days is
swathed from head to foot in sombre
robes of mourning and sable wells of
crepe. Even the heat of May cannot
prevail on her to cast aside single
shred. She fairly revels in her robes
of grief with a morbid passion fncom-
prehensible to our sane American
eyes. Long since we have learned the
sincerity of burying the grief of our
bereavements, as a sacred thing, deep
in our hearts. We know there Is no
need of vulgar display of black gar
ments before the multitude to gauge
the extent of our sorrow. In fact SO
sane have We become in the matter
that the black garb of mourning is
rare sight in our bigger cities, and
those atrocities against aesthet1cism
and sanitation, the long crepe wells
of widowhood, are sights all but I'M
seen.
Hence the mad passion of the Latin
races for the sable plumes offends our
liberation. Especially since the sirens
of the Partisan streets have adopted
widows weeds as further lure, they
become almost a traversty of grief.
Verify these marry widows" are
more numerous than the real article.
ness they parade along the boulevards
on high heeled shoes, shipper on their
incardined lips and a widows cap on
their marceled heads.
You can hardly blame them for
adopting this costume, for the Partisan
widows caps are certainly mighty be-
coming. In most cases the yards of
heavy black crepe are worn pinned
closely around the face like the Red
Cross nurses wear their virginia. white
head coverings. tiny fold of white
crepe is set inside the black crepe next
the skin and sometimes fillet of dull
black beads relieves the plain severity.
These black beads are the favorite
form of trimming for mourning mill
linery, and appear also wreathing lit
tie mushroom shaped widows caps
that drop their creepy lengths of veil
far down behind. Many of these
mushroom shapes are lined with
white crepe and on some the white
lined brims turn up all around like
snowy collar. Several of these shapes
have coquettish little straps of the
crepe to be worn under the chin. 1t
seems strange and incongruous to use
the terms coquettish and chic as de-
scriptive of mourning yet they are the
most adequate of adjectiveS to picture
the extreme smartness of these Pa
riSian garments of grief

taken to the wash
In the boys side of the Emporia
gymnasium about two hundred flfty
towels are used every day. The girls
side averages four hundred and fifty
towels a day. This difference in the
number of towels does not mean that
the girls do more gym work than the
boys. 1t means that more girls than
men are enrolled at X S. n.
Nine years ago, when Mr.. Huitz
first undertook the towel-washing job,
he considered IS an enormous num-
Der to wash in a day. 1t was more
often fifty. Two copper boilers were
put on the range every evening at 8
o'clock. They were filled with hot
water, soap and towels. The washing
proceeded in orthodox fashion. Rock

Since that time seven hundred dol

Following is an original poem which
will be presented Sunday morning,
entitled, Does Anyone Care for
Father"
Does anyone care for the father?
Does anyone think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders
The cares of the family come
TITS father who strives IOr your cOmIoIt,
And tolls for you day after day.
Although his footsteps grow slower,
And his dark locks are turning gray.
Does anyone think of the due bills
He's called upon daily to pay?
Grocery bills, college bills, book bills:
There is some kind of bills every day.
Like a patient horse in treadmill-
He works from morning till night
Does anyone think he is tired?
Does everyone make his home bright?
Ia IL right. just because he looks troubled
To say hes as cross n bear ~
Good words, little actions, and kindness
Would help him his burden to bear.
Tis for you he is always so anxious,
He will toll for you while he may live;
In return he asks love and kindness.
And such return we should all give.
