In our civ ilizntlqn tho Insignia of mourning and Is used In gowns and wraps as woll ub In millinery. Its weave and body mako possible very beautiful effects In workmanship and mourning linta rarely are Improvod by decoratloiiB other than those made of crnpo. For first mourning, hats of crapo or crapo and plain silk should bo me dium in size and carefully made silks nro manufactured especially for mourning wear and aro usod In con junction with crnpo in with lino effect. Shapes for mourning mlllinory should bo conservative in every way. No extremes of size, no notlccablo ec centricities aro good form. It Is in neat and Ingenious work that mourn ing millinory is pro-omlnent. Tho four Lata Bhown hero aro ox nmples of mourning of tho highest or der of excellence Tho round hat, ol black gronudlno and crape, shows the .SIMPLE DRESS. This, is qulto simple and might ho mado in llnon and embroidery, or cashmcro nnd foulard. Tho skirt is plain to about tho kneos, then has a dcop band of trim ming taken to foot. Tho bodlco haB tho upper part of trimming, tho material being UBcd for tho lowor part, which is tnken up to nock at centor of back and front, where a collar of tho snmo finishes' the neck; tho cuffs and sleeve bands aro also of thle.

Mending a .Mackintosh, O.ien by accident n mackintosh may bo damaged to the extont of a slight rent. Whllo tho rent Impairs its use fulness, tho garment may still bo too good to throw away, To mend it sandpaper tho edgos to koop thorn freo from grit. Then get a solution of gutta porcha, spread it thinly along tho soara, stroke down tho other seam on It and Icavo a heavy weight on it for soino hours. t crnpo used ns a border or finish with tho body of tho hat in grenadine, in this nnd all tho other lints the trim mlng Is mado up of tho fabrics. A tonguo mado entirely of crap has tho coronet covered with narrow folds and a largo buoklu covered in tho same way. The crown of tin shape Is covered .with tho crnp draped gracefully and appareutlj fastened to place by tho buckle. A turban shape, made entirely ol rounded folds, lo trimmed with a pair of wings made In the same way nnd mounted by means of a buckle of dull Jot. The folds aro cut in such a way that tho rib runs across thorn on tho straight, Instead of diagonally. One should test crapo when buying It, to seo that it has been properly wnterproofed. Slnco somo manufac turers havo so improved this fabric that rain and moisture, or cvon Im mersing in water, do not hurt It, it hns become ono of tho most durablo of materials. A small piece dipped In a glasstof water will not "run" or discolor tho water nor ho affected by It, If it is of tho durablo kind and worth having. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. LAWN AND MUSLIN FROCKS Some Suggestions Regarding the Mak ing of These Light, Airy Sum mer Dresses.
