Wells as Beautihers.

Nothing is so necessary TO well
groomed appearance as pretty veil,
aud nothing so ruinous as a crumpled
Que. Crisp freshness is essential. Ia
the choice of dainty accessories even
tue most economical women become
extravagant. II seems to be a fact
that pretty women insist upon wear
ing wells that too completely cover
their faces, while these who would
look the better for Disgusting film
favor light meshes.
Real thread lace wells, with a border
reaching from mouth and chin, are
among the most expensive new de-
signs, and besutify mouths Of doubt
ful prettiness. Nine. Sembrich gives
her name to a closely dotted affair,
pretty and fashionable, but exceeding
ly bad for the eyes, Women not
endowed with we'll defined features
should eschew the close dots, Small
features become Insignificant behind
them. The open mesh. sparsely
sptinkled with large velvet dots, like
patches, are generally becoming.
They do not try the eyes 80 much as
dotted wells. A useful veil, and a be-
coming one also, has Invisible eye
shields underneath to protect the eyes
from dust when the wearer is driving,
Fine close mesh wells are not 80 be-
coming to some, because they darken
the skin. Plain Brussels net and tulle
are in this category. The new double
wells. black over white, soften the
face, and are becoming to women OF
middle age. The outer veil may be
any sort OF mesh, but sheer white illu-
sion always forms the background.
A veil that will doubtless become
popular has an irregular scroll pattern
all over it, consisting OF chenille dots
Of various sizes. from pinpoint dots to
those the size of pea. The scroll is
Of goodly proportions, sometimes
reaching from chin TO temple, and
gives TO the face a curious appearance.
These wells are scarcely becoming, but
their oddity draws attention to the
yearer's face

odd Handkerchief Designs.

Artistic designs, printed and EN-
broided in colOrs, are the touch of
novelty given the new handkerchiefs
The pure white haudk erchief is no
longer a requisite Of good form. All
the French handkerchiefs show some
color, either in the border, the mono
gram or the floral design.
Instead Of a hemstitched border
some of the handkerchiefs are finished
around the edge with vine Of raised
embroidered flowers. These are ex-
tremely pretty worked in purple yio-
let's. yellow buttercups or blue forget
me-nots. Others have a hand EN-.
broidersd flower in the corner. with
the stem and leaves stamped in color
instead Of being embroidered. Then
there are handkerchiefs among the
novelties with narrow colored borders
and bovkuots, feur de lis or butter
Hies embroidered IN each corner
matching the border in color. The
colors chosen for these handkerchiefs
are generally light shades, but there
are now a few this season with bright
1lald Dordcfs.
Among the more expensive hand
kerchieis are those Of sheer linen, ap-
pliqued with transparent lace de.
signs. These are beautiful, but per-
ishable.
The handkerchief edged with fall
ot lace is nov considered out OF date.
The correc, lace trimmed handker-
chiefs Of to-day are appliqued With
separate lace designs or have a. q
border narrow bands OF lace insertion.
An effective aud novel idea il to sew
the lace design TO the handkerchief
with fne, light colored silk. The
linen must be cut away beneath the
design, 90 that the lsce'>rill be trans
parent. A hsndkerehisf VI this de-

LOOK FOR DECISION TODAY
SPEEDY TERMINATION OF SOUTH

RATE FIGHT EXPECTED
TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS
Reported Thnt the Commission VIII
Insist ON Rates of Its Own
Preparation IL the
Roads DO Not Suit.

The state railroad commission will re-
Sect the schedules offered in adjustment
by the railroads Interested in the grain
rate case. The commission will now take
the Initiative and will submit 10 the
railways concerned schedules of their
own, showing the rates which they con-
slider fair and reasonable adjustment of
the present ditticulties. The statement Is
made upon the best of authority that the
commission will submk their own rate
sheets today, thereby throwing aside the
overtures already made towards a set
tlement
The commissioners have maintained g.
studied reserve concerning the disposition
of the schedules offered and filed last
week with the secretary. Questioned yes
terday one Of the commissioners stated
that no decision had been arrived at.
From The statement of the secretary that
In the event that the commission rejected
the schedules they would offer their own,
It was inferred that new feature of the
case had developed. Commissioner Ring
dal said in answer to a question:
Our schedules are not yet ready. They
viii be submitted tomorrow. in all prob
ability This statement confirms the re-
port that the commission will now take
the lead
Oficials Of the interested lines professed
to be much surprised yesterday to learn
that the commission has practically re-
fused to admit the schedules offered. 1t
has been the hope Of the interested lines
that by making partial reductions and
by conforming only in part with the re-
quirements of the commission, a basis of
settlement could be reached which would
avoid litigation and at the same time
interfere but little with present sources
OF revenue.
The commission, from statements Of its
members, Will not be content with half
measures, but will insist that the original
scheme of making a general reduction in
the excessive rates be carried out en-
tire. None of the officials seen yester-
day cared to venture an opinion as to
the outcome of the case. There is con-
siderable opposition to the reductions de-
manded, and not unimportant feature
OF the case is the strong desire of the
roads TO keep out of court and avoid a
legal precedent. The commission is unit
ed in the opinion that the full reductions
asked be made, and 1t is considered prob
able that, as a last resource, the body
Will issue an order making an arbitrary
reduction rather than to accept schedules
which viii not show the concessions con-
sldeTed reasonable.

occasioned by the blockade east of Chi

lines at Chicago, and the immediate
pressure is considerably relieved. Sever
