In the matter of wearing mourning
for relatives who have given their lives
for their country there are two opin.
ions. One is that 1t is inadvisable to
wear black because it depresses other
people. We must not ask others TO
mourn with us, or even remind them
Of mourning. The other is that a
proper respect for the dead almost
compels period Of mourning apparel.
1t is n matter which each one must
think out for herself. The Red Cross
has adopted substitute for the usual
mourning and the last bulletin of the
central division has this to say.
"The American Red Cross will pro-
vide the mourning brassards to be
worn by relatives of men who have
given their lives to their country, ac-
cOrdlng to an announcement made by
the war council. These brassards,
which are to be used In lieu Of gen.
eral mourning, were suggested and de.
signed by the woman's committee of
the council of national defense, the
idea being heartily Endorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson in a letter he sent TO the
womans committee. They will be fur.
nished free to the parents or widows Of
men who have died In the service and
ut cost to other members of the fam
lily.
"The brassard, which is to be worn
on the left sleeve, midway between ell
bow and shoulder, In band of black
broadcloth or other material three
inches wide on the surface of which
the regulation military star is en-
broidered in gold thread. The num-
Der of stars on u brassard will denote
the extent of the sacrifice made by
each family.
"The brassards will be made and
distributed by the chapters of the Red
Cross working In conjunction with lc-
cal units of the woman's committee of
the council of national defense. An
initial supply of materials for the
manufacture Of the mourning emblens
has been purchased by the Red Cross
and will he forwarded to the Ii divi.
sions of the organization for distribu'
ton through their chapters. It is ex.
pected that the first of the brassards
will be ready for distribution about
the middle Of September. A brief
statement accompanying the announce
ment says:

For the Fall Bride,

A gift which will remind the little
bride who undertakes to furnish a
home in wartime that Mr.. Hoover has
his eye on her, is a bread bag. It is
made Of sturdy cotton; an unbieached
muslin would do well. Into It the
scraps of bread left from the table are
put and are kept comparatively fresh
for use ut the next meal or for bread
buildings or bread crumbs. The reason
for the bag is that war bread seems
to keep so much better when wrapped
In a cloth than when left In the regu.
lntion box. where 1t Is apt to mold II
the box Is close, or dry out IL the box
Is left open. Embroider the word
bread, or an outline of a cut loaf on
this bag II you are thinking of giving
1t to some little bride you know.

SPORT toes PASSE
Death Knell Sounded for a Once
0verindulged Fashion.
Question Of Proper Footwear Now Alb
sorbing the Attention Of Women
Seeking Most Sensible Shoes.

A curious phase of fashion during
the second year Of the war Is the
passing of sport clothes, observes a
fashion writer. This does not mean
that they weren't worn in tresome
profuslon at summer resorts. Wher-
ever women gathered from East, West,
North or South, they came with trunks
of sleeveless jackets, colored sweater
coats, separate skirts and the other
paraphernalia that goes with the
beach, the mountain and a motorcar.
But through all these costumes ran
thread of different dressing, which
was quite noticeable to those who had
seen other summers at American re-
sorts. Few of the women wore white
linen skirts, white shirtwaists or
sweaters. Few wore fat-heeled shoes.
The majority of them made the mis-.
take of wearing sleeveless jackets and
separate skirts with pointed pumps
and Louis XIV heels.
That's the kind of thing we do quite
badly over here, and which Is a de.
parture from the good sense which
characterized our sport clothes ten
years ago. In fact, the whole shoe
situation in America IL 80 extremely
bad that one would like to write down
rules and regulations about shoes and
have them enforced by the govern
ment. We used TO pride ourselves on
the best shoes In the world, worn In
the most suitable manner and differing
for each occasion. We laughed at the
French for their eccentriclties.
Today, although we do not seem to
realize II, the majority of women In
the world are looking askance ut our
feet. We demand absurd shoes, unless
Il uniform demands sensible ones. The
whole condition Is topsy-turvy. Won.
IN stand behind the counter In pumps
that should be worn I'm u limousine at
five o'clock In the afternoon; others
walk up Main street In shoes that
should be used for restaurant dinner
ut seven o'clock--and thus Il goes
through the string Of hours. Rarely,
except In the evening, Is the average
American woman properly shod. She
has lost her head completely concern
ing her feet.

as for the better suits and coats. One
notes the almost complete absence of
the muff and scarf sets. This is no
doubt because almost everyone has a
coatee, coat or long stole of fur. Many
of the long stoles have pockets In the
ends and some novel styles have one
end that can be made into a muff.

On the Brim Of Your Hat.

Two feet away 1t was strikingly
good looking. Any black velvet sailor
would be with wide wooden Roman
stripe binding about the edge Of its
brim. A closer inspection proved
again how very effective absurdly sim.
pie things can be. Mercerized cotton
did it. Chinese blue, orange, purple,
green and black were used this way:
A simple Over-and-Over stitch made
the binding. solid two inches of the
circumference done In the blue, the
next in purple, then green, then black;
and so on all the way round the hat.
A pretty variation Of this form of trim
ming would be to use blanket stitch
instead Of the simpler Over-an-Over.
Then straight strands Of the cotton
might be wrapped round and round
the crown to simulate band.

Satin Footwear.

High black satin boots, for house
wenr, are true leather savers. They
are really very smart. They lace
snugly about the ankles and are made
with French heels and moderate
points. Oxfords Of black satin also
laced, are another autumn speciality
In the shoe shops. These are especially
pretty for informal house wear In tho
afternoon.
