WEARING TWO Wells.

A great many of the fashionable London
women have adopted the becoming fashion
introduced in Paris last season of wearing
two wells. The under veil is tilmy thing
in white or delicate pink, dotted in
chenille. This is tied rather closely over
the face Over this veil of chiffon or
tulle is draped loosely about the brim Of
the hat, hanging undrSped at the back.
Sometimes small rosette fastens the wells
in front, and a second rosette is used to
hold the under veil in place at the back of
the head. Sometimes the order OF wearing
the wells is reversed, the tulle veil is
reversed, the tu!le veil being worn over the
face and the dotted veil draped over that
But the order is IA matter Of individual
fancy, and is determined by its becoming
ness. have noticed another pretty scheme
that has been adopted at the summer
hotels, where great many women gather
a becoming veil overlthe face and couture
and arranged it high in the air in butterfly
effect at she back. No hat is worn under
the veil, which furnishes a wonderfully
becoming protection to the complexion --

A GERMAN GIRLS EDUCATION.

An important part Of & girls eduoation
in Germany is her instruction in domestic
science. She is taught how to knit and
darn stockings and how to repair towels
and bed and table linen skiIuily. She
crochets lace and other things and makes
all kinds Of cross stitch work. Most Ger
man girls Of the upper classes have som =
musical education. As rule, they play
better on the piano than they sing. After
the girl has finished her school course she
goes to boarling-hopse OF the better
class, to learn how to cook Rad keep house
and To acquire the ways Of refined society
outside of her own nome. Here she -
mains for several months and watches the
process Of the cooking and Other work.
often lending hand herself. It will be
seen that her education presupposes that
she will marry some time in her life, and
it is in measure a preparation for that
event. Consequently, when she has been
confirmed she begins to prepare her trous-
seau, She crochets lace, makes table
covers, works long Tides in cross-stitch,
and by degrees COLLECTS large supply Oh
towels and bed and table linen. Every
thing that is available is put away in the
