Mr.. Emerson. in his last volume of let
ters and social aims. tells the delightful
anecdote of lady who declared that
the sense OF being perfectly we'll dressed
gave her comfort which religion itself
could not imDart.
Perhaps 1t is owing to this desire to be
perfectly well dressed that at least 80
women out of every 100 are induced to
wear wells over their faces. The veil un-
doubtedly adds a finish to costume
that is not noticeable without it. and
gives an air of tidiness. Many women
also claim that they are devoted to the
veil, as it makes the face appear more
youthful
The pity is that of all the women that
wear wells, so few know how to arrange
them properly Almost everything is
being taught in this modern age but as
yet little instruction has been given in
the tying of wells. II is really a high art
The majority of women tie their wells
too tightly, which makes them feel un-
comfortable and results in the most hor-
rible facial contortions Then many
women fidget necessarily with their
wells pulling them out from the nose
and dragging them higher up on the hat

THE STYLE IN SLIPPERS.

Often they are put on so that a deep
fold is made in line with the jawbone,
which at a distance invariably adds in
appearance about ten years to a wom-
ans age.
Fashion at present is decreeing that
spotted wells shall be worn, and. if rightly
chosen and arranged with discreetness,
they are certainly becoming. When, how
ever, two of the dots are placed so that
they touch the corners of the mouth, they
give to that feature a drawn-down, mel
ancholy expression that is distressing to
look upon. On the other side, if the dots
are placed just above the corners of the
mouth, a sanguine, silly expression is pro-
duced which may be ridiculously out Of
harmony with the expression of the eyes
and brow. 1t is also bad policy to allow a
dot to rest just on the end of the nose, as
it adds perceptibly to its length. When
the dots are placed just above the corners
of the eyes they make even the most soft
expression quite viXenish. n
But apart from these prafAls of express
sion in which the dotte fell abounds.

Common sense advises her to fill up her

There is a better plan than that. Gather
