please show me the very latest in
wells. said a Philadelphia Press re-
porter. as she stood before the yelling
counter in one OF the big shops yester-
day.
The saleswoman looked rapidly through
q number of white boxes. .'This is the
veil of the season. she said. "You see
it is silk ishnet. with the dots of medium
size and very close together. 1t is the
prettiest thing we have had in several
years"
What is the price?!s
-Four dollars"
Gracious. Isn't tina a great deal for
q bit of veiling?'
Not for this. madam. 1t is what we
sell in really smart wells this year. 1t
lasts a lifetime almost, on account of the
careful way in which it is made. 1t
is every bit made by girls. and every one
of those dots is attached by hand"
Yelling of all kinds was never prettier
than this winter. Varieties are mani
fold. From the specimen spoken of
above, whose price casually mentioned
almost takes away the breath OF a tyro
parchaser-from this style to those which
come at fifty and sixty cents per yard,
really chic little wells may be had.
The tendency seems to moderate their
size and group them much closer to-
gether. This makes a dotted veil more
Wearable for most people, as the ex-
tremely large dot and very coarse mesh
were very trying to the majority of wo-
men. and only the most perfect com-
plexions were able to don them with nm
punity.
However. Notwithstanding that only a
favored few could wear the large dot
with taste. it still figures to a great ex-
tent in veilings. The plain fishnet and
the fancy mesh without dots are also in
great favor with those whose taste leads
more to simple things.
Veilings in all shades of brown, or ma
rocn, are also found in great plenty.
Same of the most stylish headgear seen
this winter is increased in effect by one
of these shades, although as a general
thing black prevails, and 1 doubt If the
ceiored veiiings will ever obtain. though

Now that we are drawing on the spring
months. white is seen frequently. A
pretty walking suit in black was noticed
yesterday. The white trimming was of
the simplest character. but the veil well
poised carried out the idea and height
ened the charming effect. I
What is the correct spoise CT the veil
this year% Well. there are a great
many The correct poise and the most
effective is always that which suits the
pretty face under the veil and which
carr es out the plan OF the hat and the
costume
But. of course. the most modish way is
to let The veil hang down from the chin
about an inch. then draw the ends loose

with q fancy pin, and there ypu are,
The ,ace-sdge ends will hang in a bunch
over the hair.
Aad. equally, of course, all the wells
this year have that tiny outline of lace
about the edge.
The usual pr.ce is a.5e, although one
can brig II to less by buying the lace
separate and sewing it on.
While the sales justly claim that
these aigh-priced affairs LAST forever. she
forgets. as one who buys should remem-
bsr. that when the stiffness leaves the
n1esIses it IS useless.
Nothing is more un~becoming to the face
than a veil that clings closely in moist
folds
While some women are having cream
lace put on the edge of these fishnet con-
coctions, it is a question whether it is
either artistic or becoming.
Beauty is in the blood. is a somewhat
trite saying. but it has the merit of per-
feet truthfulness.
If the bleed is thin and weak the cheeks
will naturally present a sallow. drawn
appearance, the lips will be blue or livid

anemic woman.
There is also she of thick. oily and
most frequently eruptive skin. maybe DIS
figured with tblackheads.s' and most of
the time disfigured by a purplish flush on
cheek and brow. Either condition is
equally undesirable. and the conscious VIC
tim Of the painful lack of charm would do
much to alleviate what she could justly
consider her affliction.
IN the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
The young woman's turns to her spring
outfit. and incidentally to her appearance
in the new clothes. And then she signs,
wishing most devoutly that her cheeks
were not so vivid. that her lips were a
little more so. and that the tiresome
bumps would not come SO thickly on
chin. cheeks and forehead.
To this girl the favorite remedy of

the blood and thin it to healthy clear

The fruit is used freely In drinks. in
cookery and many other ways. Taken
in this way the fruit acts as a very
gentle aperient, doing incalculable GOOD
