Brown tissue or chiffon wells appear
to be the ones most often chosen for
this purpose; the black ones are really
too grewsome end hideous. Some.
times white veil is used to cover the
face and brown one is loosely dropped
ever the brim of the hat to do away
with the unpleasant glare of the sun 8
rays upon the white veil. 1t is said
on good authority that the old-fash-
ioned green wells will also be wcrn il,
this way during the season.
One accustomed to seeing wells worn
in this new fashion is apt to be rather
astonished at first by the Egyptian
like, curious effect it gives to the
whole figure. The scheme for pro-
tecting the face, however, is really q
good one. When the veil is not toe
thick, and especially when it is wo n
by woman with fine eyes, it is also
not without subtle amount OF at
traction. .r.~. -.
