buying wells that were nothing but |
snares and delusions / would get ono of |
those real lace ones that COST like the |

over your hat with the ends turned
under and pinned with a fancy clasp.
Then there must be white chiffon
dotted with white silk, aud this must
be hung around your hat as IL it we're
a window tlrapery, the ends being
straight and loose at the back and the
whole thing Tipping and Tapping with
every breath of wind. The girls who
go to extremes wear blus veil and

white one and ther brown one, while
few girls. the kind who have Just got
home from Paris, are wearing blue un-
