tulle, which the wearer will assure
you is worn as a means of protection
against the winds OF heaven, but
which you well know she wear with
the clear and deliberateintention oil
making herself beautiful. II
The veil is an olden custom-as old
as the vanity of oma or the curl
osity of man. The misty past refuses
to yield up the precious secret OF its
origin, but it is curious to trace the
veil from the time when its use had a
practical and important significance
to the present day, wnen it is worn
with no loftier idea than to beautify,
which, after all, is perhaps one of the
loftiest of all ideas.
The master of the seragllo in East
ern countries had a very sensible idea
of his intention when he yelled the
women of his harem. The V is a
seductive feature, but the eve alone
cannot conquer the world. The eye

W men, it may mean anything, from
tenderness to stupidity. If it is bril-
liant and sparkling it may mean either
vivacity of spirit or sharpness of

wise, for to him only were the mys-
terieS of those eyes revealed.
There were several eason for the
rejection of the woollen veil, which
was originally worn among the East
ern One was that the weight
was insupportable. There was an
other reason, however. As women
grew less timid there was a longing in
them to do something just a little dar-
ing or risQue-to show a bit more of
the features than they had shown be-
fore; to venture on the use of both
eyes instead of giving all their Ian
gushing chances through the medium
of one. One maiden appeared in q
silk veil as transparent as the wells of
the priestesses of the temple. The
effect was instantaneous, and heavy
wells were cast aside and women
smiled through filmy silk folds with a
sense of joy and freedom.
Oculists have said that dotted wells,
