over the face before purchasing, for
there are certain kinds that can turn q
pretty woman into o positive fright,
while others make plain one very at
tractive looking.
A blue veil should only be worn by q
woman of high color. for the tint has q
tendency to increase ones pallor. The
bordered wells, unless adjusted with

great length to the face. This style IL
gradually becoming less popular, Al
they are not nearly as becoming as
those bought by the yard, which have
no bordering and rely only on their full

For ladies in mourning the made wells

many cases worn entirely to the exclu-

to encourage it's local cultivation. Until
very lately, although the annual turn
over in the French trade in Perigord
truffies has averaged $1,000, 900 francs
for many years past, German soil has
only yielded some 2,eO0 pounds weight
of the ''tuber cibariun" per annum, rep.
resenting value of 1000 marks, about
the equivalent of ESQ. Hence large
quantity has necessarily been imported
into the Fatherland from France, not
only for culinary purposes, but for the
preparation of the famous Strasburg
''truffel-pasteten" or pates de foie gras,"
and of the toothsome truffied sausages
which are manufactured in vast num-
bcrs at Brunswick and Apolda
Nearly toms weight of French truf-

capital alone, and about half as much
more is worked up into expensive

total quantity annually imported is De-
