A VEIL FOR EACH HAT.
As Much Care Should Be Exercised as in
Selecting a Gown.

Selecting Gown.
A stylish rev veil is a perfectly plain
black honeyconb net of exceeding soft
fneness, cut square and then edged
with deep or narrow scallops of lace.
White and coloied wells are similarly
treated, and the milliners are trying
to introduce the custom of buying a
special veil to Weir with every hat
Their latest discovery is the import
ance of the becoming veil, and their
very reasonable argument is that no
woman should wear q veil that throws
a trying tint or extra lines into her
face. Some women, they also sagely
advise. can look best in wells full under
the chin, others appear to greatest ad-
vantage in very short net Mosques, and
some in draped cnes. The whole effort
of the discussion goes to prove that it
is every woman's duty to study her veil
as she Goes her hat, and seated before
mirror undergo the delicate process
Of trying many nets until the expert
milliner discovers one that fulflls all
the many Offices of the perfect veil,
that is of revealing what should be re-
vealed and concealing what should be
concealed.

Complaints have been rife of late in
