When Black Isn't Mourning

Within the last few years black and
black-and-white combinations have
been developed along such highly dec
orative lines. both in clothes and furni-
ture, that it is rather hard to think of
this midnight hue as being the color
significant of mourning. There is such
a difference in the way we use black
nowadays.
Never since the days of the Egyptian
temple builders. who used Just enough
and not bit too much black in COM
bination with reds, blues and yellows.
to bring out the vividness of those
colors and at the same time to tone
them into more interesting contrasts.
has black been handled so skillfully as
of late. And now we use it most ef-
fectively with white and thereby pro-
duce combinations ten times more bril-
liant. more striking than would be pos
sible with the brightest rainbow hues.
Perhaps, because black has been COM
bined with white so strikingly, women
in mourning are especially careful not
to wear black-and-white combinations
though this used to be considered
half mourning. Nowadays the woman
who dons the ha abiliments of woe goes
entirely in black. or entirely in white.
but never half and half If she elect
to be in white mourning she has white
frocks for the house. and with them
she wears dull white shoes, white
hosiery, white everything. On the street
she wears all black, save for the turn
over collar and cuff, or weed II she be
a widow.
There are some arbitrary rules in the
use of mourning. For instance, suede
gloves are not properly worn in first
mourning. Glace kid are the correct
choice. On the other hand. all orna-
ments such as pins, beads and buckles
should bs dull jet, as the shiny sort is
not considered correct when in mourn
ing. Patent leather should not be
worn. The correct choice is dull kid
for the house and calskin for the street.
So patent leather purses and bags are
not in any sense correct for mourning.
Black velvet is anything but suitable
for mourning and satin falls under the
same classification.
Although women in mourning do not
entertain formally and do not accept
| social invitations during the first few
months of their mourning. they do
wear evening dress il they are accus-
| toned to it. The gowns selected for
| this should be made of dull. soft ma
terials, such as charmeuse or crepe de
i chine. They may properly be trimmed
with black net, tulle or maline, dull
| jet ornaments, or dull black ribbon.
| The old idea of making mourning
stuffy and cumbersome with much
| crepe is thing of the past. 1t should
be as inconspicuous, quiet, comfortable
! and becoming as possible.
