The very definite character of ap-
parel. to be worn during periods of
mourning, is the result OF custom,
deeply rooted in sentiment. In recent
years periods of mourning have grown
shorter and apparel has become less
somber than in the past. but ii has lost
nothing in dignity and has gained In
beauty. There is some difference of
opinion, among people of equal intelli-
gence. as to whether 1t should be worn
or not, but there is no question as to
the privilege of individuals to decide
this matter. The demand for mourn
ing continues and specialists give their
time to designing 1t. Black and white
Grape for first mourning. certain silks
and other fabrics In black or white are
used In making II.
The three hsts shown In the group
ubt.ve employ silk and Grape. The first
on: is of silk laid In tucks over the
crown and plain on the upper brim.
Black georgette makes II soft facing.
For trimming few dull black beads
are scattered about on the upper brlm.
A flower motif with leaves and stem,
made of folds of silk, Is applied to
the crown.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-12-14

Costumes, to take the place of suits
fur travel and street wear, are appenr-
Ing with considerable lnsistence. They
have been introduced for the sake of
variety and are not expected to rival
the tailored suit, which is so well for

days TO make all sorts Of garments OF

trench Evenina Gowns.

An unusual angle of the fashion sub
Ject from the French point of view this
season is in the evening gowns. Mod
esty and conservation is the watch
word in the designing of the upper
half of these garments. very few low
cut gowns being shown and practically
all having sleeves of one sort or an
other. But the skirts are definltel,
quite the opposite. They are narrow
and short. A very faint effort appears
to have been made to have some of the
evening frocks look longer than they
really are by yelling the silk or satin
foundation skirt with filry lace or
other fabric; but the result is often
really grotesque.

hat of English Grape, which is
moisture-proof, is dignified model for
matron. The brim turns up at the
left side and is faced with silk. Three
flaring folds of silk about the top
crown give the required height. Small
leaves of silk are posed against the
side crown at the front. Nearly all
the trimmings used on mourning mil
linery are made of the same materials
us the hats they adorn.
Another hat In which Grape and silk
are combined is n smart turban with
wide coronet. This Is covered with
folds of silk with border of Grape.
Small, duh Jet beads with plating
of silk, form II handsome ornament for
this model. 1t Is becoming shape
suited to many faces.
Few long, heavy wells are worn even
by older women. Small net wells of
ten with borders of Grape, have re-
placed the all-crape veil. Grape is used
as a trimming and In dress accessories
for first mourning and is not used for
any other wear

picture above, we might even discover
spats of the same cloth as the rest.
Even the coat buttons and belt are
made of it. But there is one digres-
siOn-since fur is expected to lend tone
to every sort of costume this season
1t has not been neglected in this one
1t appears at its best in Il short scarf,
like collar of seal skin. A little orna
ment. mnde of ostrich feathers, has n
daring pose on the hat and its rich
black makes fine combination with
the taupe-colored velours that ii EN-
bellishes.
The plain bag, of the veIOurs, is
mounted on black celluloid, altogether
very quiet and practical looking. Th"
chances are that 1t is lined with rose
or cerise or some other vivid color In
satin and that the same touch of color
appears in the bodice of the frock
somewhere. Canes and swagger sticks
make only spasmOdlc entries into the
scheme of things for street wear ana
are not an important feature of styles.
