shines his mothers gentle spirit. He

RULES IN USE or MOURNING
sona Information aa 10 What fs Cor
rect When Bomber Ssafa is
2cnned.

There are aone arbitrary rules ils
the use of mourning. For instance,
suede gloves are not flraperiy woru Ia
arst mourning Gluce kid are fiis cor
rect choice. On tba other band, aii
ornaments sncf ua pins. beads and
buckles should bc dali JET, as the Shiny
sort is not considered correct when Ia
mourning. Patent leather should not
be worn. The correct choice II duh
kid for the house and caifsfiB for the
street. SO patent leather purses and
bags are not Ia any sense correct for
mourning Black velvet f8 anything
but suitable for mourning. and satin
falls under the sar1e classification.
Although women in mourning de not
entertain formally and do nat accept
social invitations during the first few
months Of their mourning, they DO
wear evening dresses, IL they are &C.
custornesl to 1t. The gowns selected
for this should ba made of dull, soft
materials such as cfsarr1euse or crepe
dc chine. They may properly be
trimmed with black net. tulle or ma
lines, duh JET ornaments, or dull black
ribbon. The old idea Of making rnotirn-
| ing stuffy and cumbersome with much
crepe is thing Of the past. 1t should
be as ineonspicuous, qaiet, comfortable
and becoming as possible.

Fertilizer for Fern.

II your Boston fern becomes yellow
and droopy looking and refuses to re-
spond to your most loving efforts TO
cheer and rouse it, here is n fertilizer
that is said to give the most wonderful
results. Use one tablespoonful Of
dibasic ammonium phosphate and one
of potassium nitrate, dissolved In one
gallon of water. Pour one pint of the
solution on the roots of the fern once
q week for three weeks. In the mean
time give the plant a little plain water
every other day. This will prove a
valuable tonic and invariably produce
new growth.
