clde which one TO wear.
The summer girl was truly bewitch-
ing in the cream thread lace, or its imi-
tation, which she draped over her
hat IN most fantastic fashion
at the summer resorts. She was more
coquettish than usual under its flimsy
protection. The admiring world on the

This veil had rOSebudS and fOur-leaved
cloVers and fOrget-me-notS traced on it
like the veil her grandmother used to
wear. 1t had wide border which
trailed on her shoulder just a little, and
then she tied the ends at the hack of her
hat, and they hung dowo. She wears
the same veil these days when she drives
in the park.
For the street, however, she wears a
black one in place.
The black veil is an affair of dimen-
SlOnS. 1t covers large hat, and has
drawing string about the lower edge,
which draws it in under the chin and
ties at the back of the hat.
This lace has also a figure run in with
black thread.
1t may be of real thread lace, OF 1t
may be an imitation. The former may
cost any amount. providing it is fabu-
lous. and the latter may be purchased
for $3.50.
Another attractive method of draping
large hat is by cutting a half square
from each end and running a ribbon
through the shorter of the long sides
and extending it through the bias ends.
The veil can then be drawn up con-
veniently and the face inclosed In
