exactly the province of the chronicler of modes to moralize.

As littlo ones sometimes do loso tliciv parents, let us soo what mourning tlicy should wour. Small cbildron aro not naually put in mourning for any one except father or mother, though when the funeral is hold in churcli they .should wear bhick. This should bo china silk or i)on,L;ee or ca.slunero without crape.

Little girls tv.n wear plaid in black gray and white, and liavo gowns madi liko that iu tho illustration, with the yoke, upper sleeve and sash of lustorlcss silk. For out of doors a poke honnot of black felt, triiiinied simidy .with bhic'; ribbon, inid a coat of black c;iuier.'i hair, with a white angora band, aro quite somber enough for a littlo one who lias lost her father or mother. Boys can wear a black' tie and black gloves for church or visiting. i

But if childn.'n do not ii.sually wear muurning the mothers do, and thoro has never been a timo when more crapo was worn. Formerly thero were bands of crapo or panels, bnt now a first mourning gown has more crape than henrictta Many of them liavo tho dress covered completely by crapo. or with very litth of the lieuriettii showing. liko ibo gown iu the illustration.

This h.ts an underdress of henrietta covered witii crapo, e.'scopt lor tho yoke and forearm.s and belt, wliicli aro of the henrietta. Tlioro is a band of dull jet jjassomenterio triumjintj on the waist Tho back is walteaii style. This dress is intended for the tiouso. Those for the street have quite as much crape, bnt are mado walking lengtii. '±iic wrap is aloo half coveroil wiLa cr.inouna jS usually of alys uloth or anniiroor u'mrritt, cloth. Silk wrap iicrubUa. wuicn 1j liio only suitable good:) lut first 'nourninc: gowns, is not quite heavy cnougli lor ino wrap.
