Women Shouldn't FIaunt Crepe
In Faces Of Brave Public,
When CoIored Dress Can
Be Badge Of Courage,
Woman Writer Thinks,
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writsf

TT HE question OF whether or not
American women should wear
mourning for their dear ones
who are slain in this terrible war is
being much discussed.
There are many who believe thu ny
shrouding ourselves in black we are
showing only q fitting respect to the
memory OF those who gave their lives
for our defence, They forget that there
is 4 finer tribute than tears and mourn.
ing II consists in initiating the
courage OF those who went forth
blithely and brsvely to meet death for
the sake Of the faith that was in them,
Don't Do It.
There is not one OF those gallant
spirits that, II II could speak, would
not bid 10 not TO waste time or money
on the outward trappings OF woe, but
TO expcnd our every cent and our every
ounce Of energy in prosecuting the war
and seeing TO il that our dead have not
died in vain.
Ordinarily whether a woman puts on
mourning or not when she loses mem
Der Of her hmiiy, is a matter personal
to herself, and in which no one else
has a right to meddle. But the war
has swept away all OF our little indi-
vidusl stoekades. Now no one lives to
himself or dies TO himself. We are
united in common brotherhood and
sisterhood Of humanity as never before,
and what each one OF US thinks and
says and wears, reacts directly upon
whole community.
For Public's Morale.
For this reason ! think that no mat.
ter what . woman's personal feelings
and inclinations In the matter may be,
she should put them aside and not
wear mourning for her dead during the
war She should do this for the sake
of the morale OF the general public.
Everywhere she soes--on the streets
in the shops, at church, on the trains
she will meet countless thousands Of
other women whose men are "over
