Lady Modish on Widow's Weeds. One of my moat intimate friends re cently lost ber huband, and I have had the privilege of inspecting her elaborate mourning outfit. It ib wonderful bow beautiful these eombre garments can be made, and how becoming they are to most women. My friend's outfit consists of a num ber of gowrs of various materials, a dozen or more hatB and bonnets, many boxes of dull suede gloves and kerchiefs, Biz elegant silk petticoats, most of them with band embroidered trimmings, scores of pretty bodices and blouses, besides many other charming things. The gown I like best in all the array is a Princesse, made of fine black cork screw cloth, much like that which is used for men's suits, only finer in qual ity. The advantage of this material is that it can never pull cr stretch out of shape, and therefore always looks well. The lines of this gown are simply per fection. A lovely girdle of heavy crep9 is let in at the waist, pointed back and front, above and below the waist line, to the depth of perhaps four or five inches. The crepe is laid in tiny folds, and forms the chief garniture for the entire cos tume. Strips of it are placed at intervals about the bottom of the gown, and these are fastened at each end with small cloth-covered buttons, three in a row. The sleeve 6hows fine clusters of tucks (so fine as to look almost like lit tle cordings) and ss finished at the wrist with a fold of the crepe tightly but toned. It is quite full from the elbow down. Another deep point of the crepe trims the bodice at the throat, the bottom of this point almost touching the top of the one at the waist The effect in charming, and.ss it was made by an ex cellent tailor, the fit is all that could be desired. The collar was trimmed with the small buttons in clusters, and fitted Bnugly under the back hair. None of her gowns showed the pointed collars, but several showed the tendency toward the Princesse effects. One especially attractive was of Ve netian cloth, with a wonderful foot flare to the Princesse skirt. This was effect ed by a flounce much tucked, and joined to the mam skirt by wide hem stitching. A hemstitched skirt of dull black taf feta was worn with th'iB, and a small, plain coat. The newest skirt of all in this ward robe was tight fitting to the knees and from there full spreading. The material for this was the finest ladies' cloth. There were eight banda of heavy stitched taffeta extending from the waist line to the knee in front, and holding the skirt tight about the figure. From here it flared, and the back, which was full, showed a generous train, though not enough to be inconvenient. An Empite coat went with thie, and, while I do not like this fashion, it is surely heralded, and will no doubt be all the rage before the season is ended. This coat was not long in front, but had the tabs in the back -much widened and garnished with taffeta bands to match the skirt. The sleeves were plain, with the regulation Empire cuff, well pointed, turned back from the hand. My friend has bIbo in this collection a forty-two inch coat which is a dream. I never imagined a coat of this length could possibly be becoming, or in any way satisfactory, but this was not only nxtremely stylish, but very becoming as well. Heavy black lace is joined right into the cloth at the bottom to a depth of about twelve inches. ThiB ia graduated from front to Bides and from back to Q 11 sides with odd effect. The back alt loose, and has also a yoke of th" -P, while the fronts are fulled onto th ie and fastened with lace tabs end knots and reaching quite to the b of the wrap. Another stunning wrap was less an half as long as this, but more elab ,ite. It showed a vest embroidered bj hn d in a most artistic manner which ba ' s description. This was in turn edh. 1 with thick French knots. The si.- and collar trimming followed the stt design. The widow's bonnet and veil, te former with its tiny ruche about the face, slightly pointed at the forehea 1, are much the same style as formerly, save perhaps the veil is a little shorter in front. Another headdress was a hat, a little larger than a toque, made entirely of folds and pleatings of dull Bilk. There were in fact two of these hats, one edged with crepe and one not. They showed nothing Bave some clusters of dull flowers underneath, to rest on the hair. Black-and-white mourning, as shown in the leading shops, is almost eleborate this fall, and straps and tcckings seem to be the keynote. Hemstitching, too, with white beneath it, is about as popu lar as ever. One bodice had graduated bands of black-and-white striped Bilk from shoul der to waist. The skirt was composed of three wide folds, the top one snug fitting and that at the bottom very wide. A black taffeta hat went with this cos tume, and it had white felt crescents appliqued on the flat top. Medallions of velvet or cloth on silk are still popular and are seen on man of the new evening gowns. Black-and-white combinations are largely affected this fall by those not in mourning. There is a hat model in white felt with very small crescent-shaped bits of black felt let in over all the top and about the turned-up brim. This model is perhaps a trifle too popular. The hat is of moderate price forty dollars, I be lieveand already I have seen no less than three worn by women of distictly different types. A Great Newspaper .
