FASHIONS IN Wells.

Considering the limitations Of the
diminutive face veil, there is nothing
else in which the season especially ex-
GELS in variety and novelty Of design
From the most shadowy spider web
nets to a rather fantastic decoration OF
birds and butterflies, bats and beetles
there is, as it would seem, every con-
ceivable kind and condition, says the
New Yory Sun. Telltale crows feet
and trivial defects in the complexion
disappear like magic behind the be-
coming veil, which however, must be
selected with great care. 1t is the
mesh which makes or mars the ne
coming effect quite as much as the
Ornamentation. and then apart from
the qualifications as an improving
accessory Of dress there is always the
question Of choosing the tasteful veil
rather than the striking one which
proclaims itself loudly at distance
The special novelty most generally
worn in Paris is the ramage veil, with
chenille dots scattered over the net in
dainty scroll design, the dots vary
ing a little in size This veil comes in
black and the pastel colors, especially
designed for the very bright hats
which will be worn later on For
those who rejoice in the extreme
novelty in all matters of dress there is
a fine net dotted over with a fight of
shadowy swallows in graduated sizes,
the very tiny one at the top. and there
are dainty nets with round and oblong
velvet spots arranged in the form OF
fly; nets with two and three threaded
square meshes thickly covered with
pin points of chenille put in by hand,
and every sort of fancy net of spider
web fneness without any dot at all.
The most fantastic novelty among the
new wells is the bat design woven in
on the edge, the head directly in
front and the wings spreading out at
either side OF the face; butterflies, too,
are disposed of in the same manner.
The veil which speaks the loudest and
manifestS itself at the longest distance
has a rather large square mesh made
of an unusually heavy silk thread and
at each crossing there is a little circle
instead of a dot Another veil which
may rank with this is a white net
dotted over with velvet spots ia vary
ing sizes, the largest fully the size Of
a five cent piece Some of the white
nets are very tasteful, however and es-
pecially desirable for summer wear.
Double wells are still worn, being es-
pecially desirable for driving in the
country.

REBUILDING THE TtfEATE

Rumors We're recently circulated TO
the effect that the reconstruction OF taa
Theater Francois could not be finished
before the beginning of the new cea-
fury. Some people even went SO far as
to throw out jocose or satirieal hints
as to the slow progress of the works
and to compare 1t with the snail-like
pace OF the rebuilders Of the Opera

he second lyric playhouse ready for
the entertainment Of the public, The q
need however, be no comparison be-
tween the reconstructive works in con-
nection with the Theater Francois and
those of tho opera COmique, which
were facetiously described as having
been inteusted to a solitary mason.
The rebuilding OF the fheater Francois
is proceeding apace but it is true that
the playhouse will not be ready by the
date first specified by the contractors
namely July IA. Everything, it is ex-
pected. will be ready in the middle OF
