Material Favored as Economy | « Rather Than for Mourning. Thete. séein to be two “opinions smong merchants who deal in wom- pu's dresses, and women’s wear in gen- sral, about the probable demand for | “plack. Needless to say, war times al-, Ways mean an additional demand for * mourning, but after the experlence of! * Bngland and France it is hardly-likely ‘that we will overdo the matter of. wearing mourning in this country as they did at the outbreak of the war. Already there has been very definite and telling agitation against this, and It 1s likely that if occasion for the:as- suming of mourning comes, it will be _dopned, but likely by American wom- en, v But aside from black as the color of mourning, the prediction has been made persistently in some quarters that there will be an enormous demand for black clothes as a matter of econ- omy. Women may demand black, and ‘they may wear it. But the question s still open as to whether they are doing wisely. Almost any woman who has ever wore black for mourning Enows that it s not an economical +.color. In almost any fabric black re- constant brushing and constant trips to the tatlor. No color looks shabby s0 soon as black. A black suit skirt seems to collect the dust more quickly than sults of other colors, and, of course, black blouses have the dis-. advantage of not usually being wash- + able. The elaborate black evening gown cut with an extreme decolletage comes fn for almost uniyersal admiration, and even debutantes yearn to wear-it. In England the fact is commented on . considerably that black does not go - well with khaki, and it must have béen noticed by everyone in this coun- “:try that since the escort par excel- lence is the man in kbaki, our pretty girls have been wearing colors of brighter hue thap ever before. § So think twice before you have much .. blgek In your wardrébe, and think three or four times before you adopt it as a matter of economy. " KNITTING A WHOLE COSTUME Popularity of Outfits for Children Af- ford a New Departure for Grown- Upes—Requires Careful Work. ‘Whole costumes of knitted material - tiave been popular for small children, ‘but it is & new departure to offer them for grown-ups.. One has a rather short ‘gweater top,.ribbed to fit snug around the ‘waist and .going over the head. “Thie rolled collar, of white, ties with a i cord ending in knitted balls of .. The skirt has bands of green " white -worsted foundation. Of yurse, such a skirt must be narrow. Alt"vyonld be & horror of sagging lines ‘after a few times of wearlng if it were full. But it must be a nice problem in knittipg to adjust it to the figure so that it shall not curve in in all the wrong place! Our skirts are again scanty and straight, but so far they disguise rath- er than reveal the lines of the figure. When narrow skirts were in before, careless cutting and inexpert draping often had results which were unfor- tunate, to say the least. A, skirt of Xnjfted wool might easily repeat these indiscretions; so unless a woman has duated in the mysteries of knitting and purling she had better not try to 'solve:one for herself. . -Ornaments for the Neck. ! The adornment of the neck is one of the fashionable phases of-the moment. YThere:ts quite a vogue for the flat bead necklaces made by the wounded sol- diery. Probably a good deal of sentl- ment is connected with the wearing of them, but they have a distinctly deco- rative value, too, and make vivid splashes of color on our dark gowns. ‘We are beginning to realize the impor- tance of neck adornments—their scope ‘and thelr limitations—in the domain of dress. Smartness may be achieved or allenated by the little finishing touch ut the throat. There 18 nothing, after all, more becoming than- the time- Thonored string of pearls, which, hack- neyed though it is, bardly ever seems to look amiss and seems suitable at practically any age. Only in the hey- day of youth are brilliantly colored beads appropriate. After forty they should be absolutely taboo, supplahted by the soft fold of cream or. flesh col- ored tulle, or, better still, the black ‘velvet band with a dlamond clasp. Jade s, of coufse, the most popular of all etones and colors for necklaces at pres- ent, though corals, moonstones set In silver und "opals intermingled with « crystal run them close and are some- the new silks displayed in the ww designs of the most sslve sort have suddenly made their appearance. They are bor- dered pongee .carrylpg & broad band istic flowers, which are in_design-but usually good in colox, . . . Foulards with black or blue grounds show bold but really good looking bor- der designs In white. These are in striking wedge or festoon shaped mo- tits which spray far up onto ‘the breadth of silk. One interesting pat- tern shows a striking oval interlaced fostoons of white polka dots in varied pr UP PLANS CAREFULL ive Home Bullder Can No} Afford to Take Chances When Estimates Are Made. To the inexperienced home-builder the legal side of the building problem 18 rather complicated. The owner does not' always understand the legal phraseology of the documents he is asked to sign, which gives rise to the 1dea that the architect’s estimates can- not be depended upon. Estimates of any sort are dangerous and misleading to both parties con- cerned unless both clearly understand and define the quality, amount and conditions of the work to be under- taken, = All proposals, contracts, bonds and other legal papers ordinarily used in a building contract are quite sim- ple, and- the owner can familiarize himself with their uses with but very little study. 4 3 There are three kinds of estimates generally used—preliminary, actual and subsequent. The first named is usually made by the architect before the ‘specifications are sufficlently com- plete to form a contract. The second 1s the estimate made by the contractor from plans and specifications guar- anteeing his willingness to complete the work within the price ~named, while the subsequent estimate is made by the contractor and checked by the architect for additions to and deduc- tions from the terms of the contract as set forth in the contract documents, Cirefully drawn specifications are the best insurance a prospective build- ercan have if it is necessary that the price named 1s the amount he can af- ford to pay for the work.” These plans should include the exact materlal to be used. Where incomplete plans are used, the details are left to the discre- tion of the contractor, who may or may not do his best to keep the price below the amount specified, So, although it may seem less ex- pensive at the start to bave the archi- tect draw up incomplete plans, it should be borne in mind that the ulti- mate result might be a bill of extras that would triple the amount saved, besides putting a premium on the con- tractor’s substitution of poorer mate- rial. A thorough understanding of the legal documents and a clear knowl- edge of the specifications will go a long way toward making your home- building a pleasure and a success. Waistcoat and Collar. The waistcouts and the collar are novel fentures this season of street costume, too. These waistcoats of silk or. of cloth are often the one elabortite touch lending charm to the - simplé tailored frock. . e Waistcoats’ of Louis XIV style and the little shert waistcoat of the peas- ant type, or those inspired by men's waistcoats of the present day; the cot- ton walstcoat, imitation of the old style of our grandfathers in cretonne —there Is such infinite variety that one can be sure of giving to an open Jacket an entirely new and interesting aspect.
