women very cleverly hold their hands
up all the time without attracting spe-

Mourning BY No Means Hideous.
There is no more beautiful and dis
tinguished type of dress than mourn
ing dress when such attire is gov
erned not only by the canons OF cor
rectness and good taste, but also by
fashion. Indeed, fashion has a great
deal to do with the pleasing quality
of mourning-or otherwise. But more
important than fashion. is the quality
of good taste. There are certain con-
ventions Of correctness in mourning
garb and fashion, unguided by these
is likely to overstep the mark in eff
fects too frivolous and too picturesque
to be worthy of respect. And If there
Is one. thing mourning attire should
do, it should command respect! AS

ing; there are few cases when it is not
more becoming than colorful garb.
One reason is, that mourning garb AL

ways adds distinction to its wearer;
and 1t. eliminates the possibility of
mistakes in colors or an overlooking
of color in the costume. 1t makes its
wearer more spirituelle, less material
and it is the spirituelle woman who
possesses charm. And incidentally it
gives its wearer greater height and
slenderness than she possesses in COL
ored habiliments. Because it is an

White Mourning For The Widow.
1t is perfectly correct to wear white
while in deep mournfng-after tbs
first two months-but there are strict
conventions governing the wearing OF
white mourning. Everything must be
dead white-not touch of black -
permitted, and no glistening fabric
may be donned. The hat in the pic
! ture is of white Grape and the white
chiffon veil has narrow Grape edge
This hat accompanies severely plain
tailored suit of white rep with coat
| to the knees and pleated skirt falling
over the top of white buttoned walk
| ing boots. Black boots with such a
costume would strike an incorrect
note. Black and white may be worn
just at the end Of the mourning per-
/ iod. but never during the first year
When the young widow begins to 90
about a bit (and she may do this even
i while CARRIED in mourning ratp1ent
1 provided she attends only Informal at
fairs and then with dignifed and re-
served manner), she needs special
frocks, correct according to mourn
ing standards but suitable for occa-
sions when the presence Of deep
mourning attire would put a damper
upon the pleasure of others The din

the. first six months have passed. Her
veil will be worn over her face and no
band of white will appear in her
street costume. though touches of
white at neck and wrists with the
house costume are permissible. She
will not go out of doors without some
sort OF wrap, even il it be only silken
scarf in warm weather. Dignity and
severity Of line viii mark all her gar
ments, whether they be of rich fabrics
loaded with Grape, or of Inexpensive
materials, guiltless of any trimming.
In the second six months, however.
more latitude is permitted. The wild
ow may now throw back her veil,
wearing a small face veil over her
face, and her simple. somber gowns
may be lightened in character by the
addition of floating chiffons, dull jet
trimming, bands of silk matelasse and
the like. And. the cut of these gar
ments may be governed by fashion
able features of the moment. The
dainty chiffon afternoon frock pic
tured would not be in good taste for

gest frivolity; but as later mourning

may be done to make any hand seem
more attractive than nature has per-
mitted it to ba Delsarte exercises
have done a good deal to teach grace
to awkard hands; but too often the
exercises have been e1aggerated with
affectationS and studied movem ents-
worse than any natural awkwardness
--as a result. The square, capable
hand is seldom soft and pliable, as q
lovely hand usually is. Watch the
woman with. a capable hand some-
time and see how she g7asps most
things she picks up. Her capable
hand goes straight to the object to be
attained and sefzes upon it firmly with
about five times as much expenditure
of energy land determination as the
task requires. Now watch the little,
lovely. dimpled, inefficient hand. 1t
futters toward its object, aIights like
a feather upon it and draws, rather
than seizes 1t, into possession The
woman with strong, capable hands,
rests her elbow on a table and cheek

trivialities. you say! Well watch the
woman with the sort of hands that al.
ways win admiration and note how she
