The widow's bonnet la 'not chosen ex
cepted by women advanced In age. The
hat with the brim take its place, and
the veil- that covers it Is of octagon
mesh bordered with a double hem of
black chiffon. The hem goes tightly in
around the neck, drops to the shoulders,
and is Blightly gathered up to the back
of the hat, from which it falls in short
cascades. ,
Shoes are of calfskin and suede. Satin
and patent leather slippers are taboo.
Black sttk gloves are worn by those who
prefer them to kid, and realize the
scarcity of leather.
There is j no Sefinlte way i to make
these mourning clothes. They follow the
usual i fashions, . but they should not be
conspicuous. This emphasis is not ob
served ty -certain segments : of society,
whose clothes must be exaggerated to be
in keeping with their personalities ; but
onft speaks of the mass. ! -
So far, these clothes are for those who
will wear black, but America must be
prepared for the wearing of colors by
those who have lost their men.
This must be brought about by na
tional feeling and by the exigencies of
the labor situation. Women who are
busy, women who have small salaries.
women .who are dependent on the Red
Cross for their support while their men
are in battle, will not change their
clothes when they receive the fatal mes
sage from the war department;
Dark-blue serge, black taffeta frocks.
gray gowns., cnecKea sujis ana wnite
shirtwaists will be worn. The American
woman will adopt the British woman's
bravery and put a black band on the
arm of whatever coat or frock she possesses.
There is now a strong propaganda for
the gold star In memory of those who
go west." It has been taken up by in
stitutions, churches, banks and by many
women. It is in keeping with that de
parture of the newspapers in which they
announce casualties under the caption
of a roll of honor.
Perhaps no Higher moral attitude
could be taken by those who lose their
men than to use the gold star instead
of the crepe veil.

Will Women Abandon Crepe Mouriiirlg'
Veil and Wear the Approved Gold Star?
By Anne Itlttenhouie
IT Is impossible, as the casualty lists
grow, to disregard the subject of
tnournlng clothes.
We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as a natloti, we usually
grapple with the Inevitable' with the be
lief of youth and the patience of age.
Women are supposed to be a gentle
race, nurtured by chivalrous men, and
our nation is supposed to be one of
peace, serenity and calm.
Very good analysis for the last few
years, but only for the past few years.
Bit down nnd read history some evening,
and you'll quickly change yodr mind
about our women arid our peace. Her
edity Is powerful ; 'instinct is stupendous.
As a nation, we have Just burst from the
cocoon of. fighters, and the instinct of
self-preservation, which lived in the
hearts of our ancestors for 300 years,
'and the superb achievement In fighting
that made us conquer the Six Tribes, the
most vicious fighters, will spring back
to the hand of every young man who
goes Into this war.
Corra TTarrie has'wrltten a mvstlral
story of Lee and ("5 rant, and other great j
fighters of the Civil war, going to
France with our boys, their spiritual S
snares rioatlng above our regiments,
guiding the brain and the hand of no
vices to do the work of veterans. But if.
one takes up this mystical idea and i
there are many who believe that the
spirit of the dead can come back to
rulde us in crittrail times one need not
stop at Grant and Lee, at Sheridan, and
Stonewall Jackson.
We are full of these mystical ideas
today. Just as our hearts turn Instinctive
ly to immortality, to the development of
life beyond, and to the perpetuation of
Individuality. The literature of the hour
is almost entirely devoted . to or based
upon these subjects. It Is a man's
method of meeting the crisis of the
hour. It Is the hope eternal.
It Is a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about im
mortality with an intense desire to
laugh, to be amiisfd. to do our best for
those who are going and coming, and to
lead our lives as though war had riot
mashed a shell across Its routine.
With this sp'lrlt the Idea of deep
President
Wilson' Letter
to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman
of the woman's committee of the
Council of National Defense.
"I do entirely ajprive of the ac
tion taken by the woman's committee
natpely that a three-inch black
band Be worn, upon which a gilt star
may be placed for each member of
the family whose life; is lost "in the
service, and that the 1 band shall be
worn on the left srrri. I hope and
believe that thoughtful people every
where will approve of this action, and
r hope you will bp Kind enough to
make the suggestion of the committee
public, with the statement that it has
ny cordial endorsement."

mourning is not consistent. The world
has gone through seyeral rapid phases
on the subject of wearing crepe during
the last two years. France has been
the nation that thought it most decent
to wear the deepest habiliments of woe
out of respect to the dead and comfort
to one's ow n feelings ; ibut even France
has considerably lightened her mourn
ing, so that her womjen Often do not
wear crepe or even a widow's bonnet.
The women of France are an indus
trial set today, and they do not need
to proclaim their grief; or loss in muni
tion factories, subways, canteens and
food-producing places by the wearing of
crepe. 1
Of course, it rests "with the Individual,
but as a nation, and especially in Paris,
the exigencies and necessities of the hour
have done away with the ceremonial
trappings of loss. j
England took a firm grip on the situ
ation even earlier (than France. The
British government l was not averse to
crepe." but it thought! it more sensible
for its women to avoid it. In the ex
pression of Great Britain's attitude to
ward clothes during the war those of
gayety as well as those of grief,. it had
an excellent example to follow in Queen
Victoria. No one can; accuse their aug
ust queen of frivolity or lack of respect
toward all the serious aspects of life,
and yt it was. she ho, requested the !
women of her nation to drees as well as
they could during the Boer war, in order
that they might imprbve the morale of
the people and be a bright sight in the
eyes of the soldiers. j
Under the memory of this guldance--for
Victorianism is by no means dead
in Great Britain lit ) is probable that
the British women went to the task of
obliterating the ancient trappings that
went with death, with the firm convic
tion that they were ;riht.
We have taken so many traditions by
the nape of the neck! and shaken them
unti they fell apart and disintegrated
into dust, that a; trifle like that of
wearing crepe is as nothing. It only
requires one vigorous shake and It is
gone. if ,
. So Great Britain turned her back on
veils that hung to the hem of the town
and frocks that were i banded witJfc thick
crepe. She uncovered her face, placed
a DiacK nai on ner head and wore a
simple black frock, if she was conserva
tive. If she was hot conservative and
felt that the decree! of the day was
greater than that Of the past, she contin
um to go about her war relief work
or her wage earning in whatever con-
I splcuous clothes she owned, wearing the
deep mark of loss on her arm, as the
soldier wears two stripes to mark his
: wounds.
With these two great belligerents ac
cepting the new mode of not expressing
: gnef through clothes, is it not reason
; able to expect that America will place
herself beside them and regard ex
: treme mourning as an unnecessary
j thing?
Already the long crepe veil has prac
j tically disappeared. One sees women of
ultra-conservative tastes dressed In
black chiffon, with a black hat and a
small mourning veil of course-mesh
black nt, so open that it is merely a cob
web of silk strings.
This is a widow's costume. There are
sisters and mothers who even omit the
veil and wear simple bjack clothes
There are other sisters who put the
broad band around the sleeve, and this
has already been done, mind you, and
ita influenca is potent.
The shops are beginning to watch the
women who have adopted this European
mourning. They realize that a special
ized typo of black dressing has come into
existence quickly and earnestly through
the pressure of war activities.
This manner of dressine is aided and
abetted by our government, which hopes
that women will not discard the clothes
they have in order to buy costly and
sometime large wardrobes of crepe and
other morning habiliments. It feels
that the whole nation grieves for Itself
and others ; that each woman's woe is
echoed in another woman's heart ; that
anxiety is'universal. Therefore it is not
necessary for a woman who has lost a
man in battle to go to the extreme length
of draping herself in crepe so that her
face is invisible, and her body weighted
down with heavy and unusual fabrics.
This is sane .and sound reasoning on
the part of the government, and every
woman should adopt it in a spirit of
patriotism and am earnest desire to
make the best of the situation.
LONG BEACH
(Continued From Preceding Page)
It may sound harsh to erlMri
of the mourning that has arisen in this
country, but really there are women
who have made crepe a mockery. They
have overdone it; they have connected
it with strings of jet and wooden beads
that remind one of Indian widow. fh
have added high-heeled slippers of suede
which give a touch of infinite frivolity
and they have painted the face, and"
blackened the eyebrows in order to
keep the crepe from being unbecoming
If crepe is to be abandoned by the ma
jority, what is to be taken up? Here
is a list compiled by the women who
want to be consistent and by the shoos
who cater to them :

frocks and tailored gowns, is chosen, as
well as black faille, dull nst, China silk
and black muslin.
