Wells are no longer drawn beneath
the chin. They should come just
below the nose, and are worn tight
er across the face than heretof0te.
The abbreviated veil is becoming
to only a few women, which makes
its popularity doubtful, White wells
are both stylish and becoming to
women of regular features, but must
be chosen with care, so as not to get
a mesh that shows the skin in
blotches, which appears red in con-
trast to the threads of the veil.
White wells of circular shape with
patterned border are popular, and
we are threatened with red ones in
the same shape, having spots of
black chenille sprihkled here and
there. Black. wells are by all odds
the most stylish and becoming,
and the SIMPLER the mesh the safer
the result.
