This proposal was to tho effect that those families who lose loved ones In tho war should wear a purple armlet bearing in gilt letters some general phrase, such ns "For King and Country." Tho Duchess of Devonshire, Lady Lansdowne and other ladies h.ivo an nounced that for those of their relatives who die at tho front they "will not show their sorrow as for those who come to a less glorious end." Their outvaid signs of mourning will bo lestrleted to tho weailug of a plain white band on tho sleeve. The suggestion of this unpretentious mail: of mourning, whether the band bo white or purple, is generally approved. Some distinctive token of the kind If made uniform for high and low aliko. is worthy ot adoption. Its simplicity will bo ever so much moio explosive, of the nation's grief and tuititudo In adversity than the wearing of fombro black mourning attlie.
