MOURNING. Those in mourning for parent, child,
brother, or husband should not be seen at
any public function or private entertainment
before six months have passed.
CARDS. These are the same size as visiting-cards.
A black border is used, the width to be
regulated by the relationship to the deceased
relative.
They should be sent to indicate temporary
retirement from and re-entrance into society.
Within a month after death in a family
friends should leave cards. The persons
receiving the same should acknowledge the
remembrance and sympathy when they are
ready to resume their social functions. This
may be done by letter or card.
MEN. Mourning cards are the same size as
visiting-cards, and a black border is used, the
width to be regulated by the relationship of
deceased relative.
WOMEN. Mourning cards should be sent, to
indicate temporary retirement from society.
Later cards should be sent, to indicate return
to society.
CHILDREN. Children under twelve need not be
dressed in mourning, though they often are.
Only the lightest material should be used.
Girls of more advanced age do not wear veils,
but crape may be worn in hat or dress,
according to taste.
For parent, brother, or sister, mourning is
worn for about one year.
MEN. Men wear mourning one year for loss of
wife.
A crape band should be worn around the
hat, its width being determined by the
nearness of the relative mourned for. It is
usually removed after eight months.
A widower wears mourning for one year,
or, if he wishes, eighteen months, and for a
brother, sister, parent, or a child, from six
months to a year, as he desires. For the
loss of other relatives, duration of mourning
is generally regulated by the members of the
family.
The wearing of a black band on the coat
sleeve in token of half-mourning is an
English custom, and is somewhat practised in
this country.
