includes five garden hats, which are

ting, was draped over a handsome
hat in such a way that it hung in
graceful folds not too full over the
face, and upon this netting Madame
was fashioning the veil.
Upon the little marble slab in front
of the mirror lay a. tray filed with
small black velvet moons; upon the
other corner were tiny velvet dots.
And from these the veil was being
dotted.

noted it's effect. The moon was too
high. "A little lower" commanded
she; "and nearer the corner OF my
mouth"
The spot being finally adjusted in
its proper place, Madame secured it
with a tiny black thread and proceed
ed to place another. When the veil
had been mooned and speckled in a
