' F-TRIMMIN BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. The wearing of black for mourning is a less difficult proposition now than in a day when all-black costumes were less usual’ and therefore more consplouous. Often the very thing that the person in mourning wanted to avoid was conspicdolisness, and by the sort of mourning devised by dressmakers of the time this was Just exactly what she did not do. {for evening wear. women were minded to leave off what seemea almost offensive. The dressmakers solved the problem. how- ever, by producing clothes both for outdoors and indeors that showed none of the old-time ostentation. This they achieved by aimplifying 1 by using lighter, softer materials and by ellminating crepe and almost all ornamentation. Mourning Jewelry. Another thing that has, of course, tended to make the mourning less conspicuous, for even- ing especially, is the fact that black, | observer to distinguish between the | all-black costume worn in mourning | i ing dress worn for mourning.

It just has to be done. There is nol way out of it. The only thing we can do is to simplify the llnndr)T work, since we cannot omit fit. H Of course, we can send our clothes to a public laundry, just as we can eat our meals at a restaurant. But both these fiternatives cost a good deal—cost, indeed, far too much to be a_ feasible thing to most of u; : fire to dry. Bottle the remainder of solution for future use. Old paint stains should be softened with grease (cotton-seed oil or lard are both good to use) before a solvent is applied to them. Benzine, naphtha, chloroform or turpentine will remove the stauin when soft. Benzine and chloroform are especially good for colored or delicate fabrics. Take care in using these things, for they are in- flammable; it Is best to do the work out of doors. Pitch. tar and wagon- grease stains should also be softened our laundry work and do it as sen- sibly and easily as possible. To begin with, it is possible to wear clothes that need little ironing. And in summer {roning is a big prob- lem. It is hot work at best, and moreover there is necessarily more ironing in summer than {n winter. So we can wear cotton crepe under- wear. We can pull and pat the for minutes and minutes. We can let but this can be dissolved in alcohol. ! stockings go unironed, and we can . stenciled with a pretty pattern in color.
