STATIONERY-MEN. A widower uses a black
border about one-third of an inch on his
stationery, and this at intervals is diminished.
All stamping should be done in black.
WOMEN. A widow's stationery should be heavily
bordered, and is continued as long as she
is in deep mourning. This is gradually
decreased, in accordance with her change of
mourning.
All embossing or stamping should be done
in black.
WEDDINGS. Mourning should never be worn at
a wedding, but it should be laid aside
temporarily, the wearer appearing in purple.
WIDOWS. A widow should wear crape with a
bonnet having a small border of white. The
veil should be long, and worn over the face
for three months, after which a shorter veil
may be worn for a year, and then the face
may be exposed. After six months white
and lilac may be used, and colors resumed
after two years.
WOMEN. The mourning dress of a woman for
parent, sister, brother, or child is the same
as that worn by a widow, save the white
bonnet ruche--the unmistakable mark of a
widow.
For parents and children, deepest mourning
is worn at least one year, and then the
change is gradually made by the addition of
lighter material or half-mourning.
For other members of the family--as, aunts,
uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc.--black
clothes should be worn, but not heavy
mourning.
Complimentary mourning is worn for three
months; this does not necessitate crape and
veil, but any black material can be used.
WOMEN, FOR CHILDREN. For a child, mourning
is usually worn for six months, thereafter
substituting black and white.
FOR BROTHER AND SISTER, ETC. Mourning for
a brother or sister, step-parents, or grandparents
is the same as for parents, but the
time is shorter, generally about six months.
For an aunt, uncle, or cousin the time is
three months.
FOR FIANCE. In the event of the death of a
woman's betrothed shortly before the date of
the wedding, she may wear black for a short
period or full mourning for a year.
FOR HUSBANDS. Mourning cards are sent out, to
indicate that they are not making or receiving
calls.
Mourning is generally worn for two years,
and sometimes much longer. Woolen
material of the deepest black and crape
should be worn during the first year.
When out-of-doors a crape veil should be
worn for a year, or at least three months,
covering the face, or, if preferred, the veil
may be thrown over the shoulder, and a
small one of tulle, or other suitable material,
edged with crape, worn over the face.
