A Few Words About Veils-Fall and
Winter Materials.

How to remove wrinkles seems to be an
anxious question to many women, with
success thus far rather doubtful. But as
| a rule they can fatter themselves that
most of them make wrinkles very sue
cessfully or not, as you take it. Have

tailor made suit of blue. She had a
dainty little toque to match, and her
gloves were as neat as the rest of her COS
tune. But her veilI Her evident salts

her retrousse nose took an up

But if she had only known that that same

There is nothing which helps to make
or mar the effect Of a costume as a veil.
| Don't nave it a different color from the
| gown or hat, unless, of course, that
color is too pr~onounced; in that
case get a quiet contrast. The
conspicuous wells with large figures
| or tipseI spots are hardly in good taste
for street wear, besides being most in
| furious to the eyes. Before putting ma
veil see that the edge is neatly trimmed
and even. Have it wide enough to tuck
in neatly at the back. and then gather
it slightly over the hair, leaving it smooth
over the face, and slack enough so as pot

below the chin nowadays, but many pre-
fer them shorter.
A ~favorite way of making indoor
bodices is to cut the material on the cross
and to fit it snugly to the figure. without
a single dart. The low cut neck is
rufled generously with wide lace that
narrows and curves its graceful ~ into
the waist line. And what a lace season
it is; all grades and patterns are used in
lavish profusion.
Lovely opera cloaks are of white
cancels hair. turned with long golden
tan hairs in irregular daSheS.
Narrow mohair Hercules braid is used
for trimming wooden gowns made in the
plain tailor style.
Beautifully fine handkerchief are
simply finished with scallops and a tiny
dot or figure within each one.

as they are seyerally called.
Tooues of cloth are mad to match or
h%armonize with street costumes, as we'll

cloth, broadcloth, ETC., in the form of a
cape, trimmed with ostrich feather bands,
are dainty.
In mantles the circular is more in favor
than the jacket. and for the winter we
shall have very long and full mantles
with capes.
Black hose, whether silk or flne cash
mere wool, are worn with almost all
toilets. Black patent leather shoes, with
a very small fiat bow, are the right style
for indoor chdussures. and dull Kid boots
with patent Leaf ,er tips for out-of-doors.
Heels are low and square.
Gold beads are very fashionable for
young girls. One of the latest varieties
has what the wearer calls an irriJated
skin breaking out in spots OF enamel.
Radiating scroll forms set with pearls
are seen in one of the newest brooches,
and between each scroll is a small a D
phire set so lightly hat it almost appears
TO be without support.
To be worn en- suite with the shaggy
tweed and camels hair costumes are hats
of very rough f~elt-sdnglier felts they
are called-brown and spikoy. into which
eagles plumes and other stiff feathers
are secured with knots OF brftliant scar
let or equally brilliant marigold yellow.
Late reports from Paris hint at the re-
turu of larger bonnets, although most of
the openings have punctuated the fact
that winter head gear still inclines TO
tiny ~circlets and lillipuLian crowns. A
gauzy kerchief not much larger than
your hand, and a single big-petaled rose
are about all that an ingenious maiden
needs to supply herself with a bewitch-
ing bit of head gear for an evening out.
Ribbon fringes are decided novelties,
and are finished with Milan balls and jet
nailheads, and many of them for evening
wear have irridescent beads. The nail
heads nave taken q new lease of life. and
are seen on everything. They are par
ticularly valuable, as they can be used to
freshen up n old dress or garment Won
derfully.
Quite novel, aud as expensive as it is
new, is a rich cream white guipure,
sprinkled with cut jet. This makes Il
peculiarly striking trimming for tea or
reception DIRE SEES Fortunate owners of
rich black Brussels point are using it
with great effect on white aud pale toned
silk gowns. A mistake easily made and
one that is invariably frowned upon nv
the ~connoisseur is the misuse of lace, THis
Usually occurs by reason of too much
generosity. An over-abundaDce of lace
on Il costume cheapens it sadly.
For theatre uses are pretty velvet capes
