Mourning^ Apparel
THE death of England's king ibrows |
nearly all the courts of Europe !
into mourning and in consequence !
the subjects of mourning apparel and
mourning etiquette are up for con
.-ideration more generally than lor
many years Customs change slowly,
especially those which rule in matters
of greatest moment. Rules of eti
quette governing in the event* of
deaib. marriage, births and social
functions of high importance have all
been carefully thought out and are
the <rysta)iz< d expressions of con-i
sideraiion for others. They are form- i
uiated from the conduct of those j
whose good taste and keen intuitions
put them in position to set examples.
\Sucb latitude is allowed individual
taste in the matter of mourning ap
parel. Some people decry any special
dress for those in mourning, on the
ground that we should not divide our
sorrows with others. But the great
majority feel that the assumption of
mourning attire is imperative as a
sign of respect to the dead or to iffs
family as well as an outward token
of a sense of loss To ignore a death
seems to cast a slight upon the worth
of the departed soul; therefore, an in
creasing number of persons in the
best social circles assume what is
I called "complimentary mourning." i
This is either a badge of mourning of
some sort, or the wearing of black for
a short terra This is a different mat
ter from tbe mourning apparel as
“umed by members of a family. Com
plimentary mourning does not involve !
the restrictions w hich that of rela- I
fives assumes. Certain fabrics are j
hosen for those in mourning These
are crape, silk gcnadine. nuns-veiling.
bombazine, net. uncut velvet, crepe-de
chice. mourning silks, felt, voile and j
other fabrics of a jet black hue and
soft luster or dull finish. Crape is j
re-cognized as the correct fabric for
flrst mourning everywhere, and is In
fact the insignia of mourning. Crape
is used as a finish, or decoration, on
other fabrics, and sometimes entire
garments are made of it. It is a beau
tiful fabric made of silk and having
diagonal rib or crinkle across the sur
face It is made in both dull and
silky luster; the dull finish is consid
ered the more elegant. Recently it is
much used in dress accessories, such
as collars, cuffs and bands, and in
stoles and muffs, for those in deep
mourning. Silk grenadine is very gen
erally worn in this country for veils,
as shown in Fig 1. It is light in
weight, supple and durable. It Is used
in the open weaves for face veils and
Is often bordered. For summer, large
mesh silk veils, bordered with a fold
of crape, are worn, with millinery
made of or trimmed with these ma
terials. the crape nearly always ap
pearing in a flat border or fold. Eng
iish manufacturers have succeeded In
waterproofing these fabrics so that
rain or moisture does them no harm.
The transition from deep mourning
to colors is accomplished gradually.
After a certain period of time, more
or less long at the discretion of the
wearer, the mourning veil Is discard
ed : next crape Is eliminated. The at
tire Is next all black, but not neces
sarily of recognized mourning fabrics.
After black, gray, the cold lavenders
and white are worn. White may he
worn with black accessories for
mourning, and Is correct, but Is more
often assumed for what is called "sec
ond mourning " that is. in the period
of transition from mourning to colors.
There is nothing so dignified and
nothing more elegant than a well
chosen mourning costume In choosing
models or patterns for making mourn
ing gowr.s or tats tor any garment)
plain, neat and elegant designs are
correct. Nothing "fussy" is admissi
ble No extremes of the mode are to
be considered For millinery neither
very large or very small bats, but
those In shapes which are always
worn should be selected. Exquisite
workmanship must characterize the
work of both milliner and dressma
ker Fortunately the regular mourn
ing fabrics, crape, bombazine and nuns
veiling, all are adapted to the sort of
work required.

USEFUL FOR THE TRAVELER
—
Pin Case An Almost Indispensable
Requisite When One Is on a
Journey.
A new form of tLe well-known pin
case for traveling Is being shown just
now that makes acceptable prizes or
a present for European travelers.
The case is formed like a wallet
with a flap at the side that buttons
over with a patent clasp. This Is
made of cardboard covered first with
cotton batting, then with cretonne,
fancy brocades, ribbons or with an
embroidered linen case.
Inside there is a single leaf adjust
ed to back of case like the page of a
book. This is covered on both sides
with white eiderdown or flannel,
which is carried over to line the sides
4 of case as well.
In this lining is stuck on the outer
cast safety pins in all sizes and col
ors. On both sides of the inner page
are arranged big headed pins in vari
ous sizes and color. These can form
fancy borders or a star figure below
and a border or other artistic grouts
ing.
These cases may be made In ary
convenient size; one four by five
inches gives plenty of space.
About Veils.
When money is scarce there seems
nothing that runs away with one’s
money so fast as veils. Their life
is a very short-lived one and often a
misadventure ruins them as soon as
bought. Tet we must wear them 11
we want to look smart, and to buy
cheap ones is morse than useless as
they never look well from the day
they are bought. The truest ecenomy
Is to buy fine net by the yard, says the
Woman’s Life. it eats to better ad
vantage, you get four veils for the
price of one. and it Is of a far better
quality and lasts longer than If you
buy veiling pure and simple.
Rather a Startling Effect
Chaatecier Craze Responsible for
Veil Which Is. to Say the
Least, Oaring.
Most remarkable of all the examples
of the chanteder craze » hich has dis
played Itself in wearing apparel is the
chanteder veil, which has been recent
ly placed on the market, und which Is
enjoying quite a little popularity in
tome quarters where the eccentric is
neither feared nor disliked The veil is
of rather open meshed black net, on
which there is the design oi chanteder
facing the rising sun. Both chanteder
and the sun are sizable and showy and
the effect is decidedly striking.
The design is so arranged that one
rooster may rest over one eye when
the veil is in place, another rooster
over the other, while the rising sun is
sit us ted over the bridge of the nose.
Of course, a leas startling adjustment
la possible, and with care the eyes
may be covered only with the net
fhile the rooster decorations fall to
the cheeks and the rising sun accents
the end of the nose.
Hat Contrasts With Suit.
For years we thought It was the cor
rect artistic thing to have the hat!
match the gown. Now it is not con i
sidered fashionable, even if it is ar
1 tlstic. It is not amiss to have a sug
sestion of the gown in the hat. Some
r eople do this, but it is not necessary
; The best-dressed women wear suits '
j we will say, of black and white check i
and a hat of burnt straw trimmed with
i cbantecler red. Not only Is the con
j trast violent, but we like it.
Provide Sweater First.
The girl who intends spending her
summer vacation in the mountains
should not forget that the sweater Is
by far the most important garment ol
the outing wardrobe.
Not only Is It more practical
any sort of tailored coat, but it is
especially suited to the rough weal
which sporting togs of all ^
necessarily subjected to.

Cambridge, Mass.—Another cham
pion of the simple table has come for
ward in the person ot Karl Van Meter
Long, a Harvard football player, base
ball player and all-round strong mao.
Harvard's Strong Man.
who comes out with the statement
that notwithstanding his activity os
the gridiron, the diamond and In the
gymnasium, he lives on 14 cents a
day!
The young physical giant stand si*
feet in his socks and weighs 19a
pounds. His program is even more
simple than the regime pursued by
the beautiful countess of Warwick
and her children, although that is far
less pretentious than the daily fare
of the average laborer's family.
Ol the many unique exponents of
simplicity is diet, these two examples
stand out conspicuously—the case of
the Harvard strong man because it
shows that it is possible not only to
exist on a frugal bill of fare, but to
achieve various teats of physical prow
ess .and that of the wealthy countess
because it shows that such a diet is
sometimes followed not from necessity
or economy, but from choice.
Mr. Loug. who comes from central
Illinois, is twenty-three years old. and
tor the past 12 years has had to fight
bis own way in the world. Notwltb
standing that he started without a
penny to his name, he was able to
work his way through the University
of Illinois, where he achieved tame as
fullback on the football team, and has
spent three years at Harvard, where
he played fullback and halfback on the
team last fall and is a pitcher on this
year's baseball squad. Throughout
his whole college career, Mr. Long has
subsisted on his simplified form of
diet, and with the money he was thus
able to put by. be has availed himself
of his summer vacations to travel all
o er the world.
The coumess of Warwick, who is
well and favorably known to Ameri
cans. made a thorough course of die
tetics some years ago. when she was
threatened with obesity. As the re
sult of her investigations she became
a "raw-fooder,” and though she has '
long since accomplished her original
object and regained her former grace

who died last March, were discovered
in a mattress while housecleaning. \
Mrs. Mulvey, the wife of an electrician, i
had saved the money for ten years
and never had informed her husband
where she had secreted the money.
Mr. Mulvey knew of the money, but
three months of searching In every
nook and corner failed to reveal Its
hiding place. His sister. Mrs. Mar
shall Gardner of Bridgeport. Conn., ar

The money was found tied np In a

kitchen was so great you could hardly bear it. With the
right stove you would have made a better hostess. Save
your health. Don’t put up with the drudgery' of a coal
range. You can have a clean, cool, pleasant kitchen. The
Ndy^Pcr/Sctioit
Oil Cook-stove
does sway witn ail drudgery of
r cooking. Why should you be a
slave to a coal range when yea
can have an 03 Cook-Stove that is
cheaper than coal, cleaner than coal,
doesn't “smell," doesn't smoke, lights
instantly, can he put out instar dy, Ira ve»
no ashes, and decsal beat the kbeben.
With one of these stoves you can boil,
bake or roast the most elaborate din net.
You can change from a slow to a qtre’e
■fire, or the other way about, by simpiy
turning a wick. Apply a match, and in
stantly the heat from an intense blue
flame shoots upward through the tur
quoise-blue enamel chimneys to the
bottom cf pot. kettle or oven —but no
where else. The stove has ev” 7 conve
nience that can be thought of: Cabinet

dishes hot. drop shelves to hold cofiee
