A crape bonnet should be worn, and a very
small white ruche may be added if desired.
After the first year a gradual change to
lighter mourning may be made by discarding
the widow's cap and shortening the veil.
Dull silks are used in place of crape,
according to taste. In warm weather lighter
materials can be worn--as, pique, nun's
veiling, or white lawn.
Black furs and sealskin may be worn.
Precious stones, such as diamonds and pearls,
may be used if mounted in black enamel.
Gold jewelry should not be used. A woman
should avoid all pretensions to excessive
styles.
FOR HUSBAND'S RELATIVES. A married woman
wears mourning for her husband's immediate
relatives.
FOR PARENTS AND GRANDCHILDREN. Mourning
for these persons is generally worn for one
year. During the first six months, black
material trimmed with crape is used, and also
a deep veil, which is thrown over the back of
the head and not worn over the face, as for a
husband. After this period the mourning
may be lightened, according to taste.
See also DEATH IN THE FAMILY. FUNERALS.
MR. AND MRS. CARDS ( VISITING). These cards are not
generally used for ceremonious calls after the
first series of return calls made by the
bride.
If the husband is unable, the first year
after marriage, to make formal calls, his wife
uses the Mr. and Mrs. cards, and such is
accepted as a call from him. But after
one year she should leave their separate
cards.
These are used on formal occasions-as,
returning a first call, condolence, congratulations,
or P. P. C.--when both the husband
and wife are represented.
When they are used the first year after
marriage, they should have the address in
right-hand corner and reception days in
lower left-hand corner.
The card should read:
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wren Wilson
MUSIC.
WEDDINGS. The organist and the music are
usually selected by the bride. Before her
arrival, the organist plays some bright
selection; but on her entering the church and
passing up the aisle, he plays the wedding
march.
AFTERNOON TEAS (FORMAL). Music is always
appropriate on these occasions.
MUSICALES.
DRESS. The rule would be that at an afternoon
affair afternoon dress would be worn, and
evening dress at an evening affair.
