Abstract
On April 13, 1913, the Pittsburg Press ran a column titled “The Correct Mourning.” This brief piece was one of several short articles on the front page of the paper’s “Woman’s Magazine Section.” The column read, in part, “A widow’s [initial] mourning is entirely black, with the exception of a white crape ruche worn inside the closely fitted cap. Black crape is the only trimming.”
