he was of the opinion that the vote

One which is called 1.-The Carnot," and
sometimes the Anna Held" is a thin,
black fish net decorated at dis
tances of about an inch apart with a
double dot of chenille-one black and
a white one set side by side. Below,
the black-and-white dots are thiclxly
massed in three close rows forming
fective finish to the veil.
Another of these extremely stylish
made wells is of fish net ornamented
with wavy rows of alternate large and
small black dots. These run into
points below forming a border, and
the points finish the veil similarly at
the sides.
White-and-black wells are as fash
ionable as ever. A white fish net,
filmy as a cobweb, is crossed by heavy
black silk cords forming two-inch
squares. At each corner Of each square
is placed a black velvet dot. A fine
white maline veil is crossed by double
lines of black forming one and one
quarter inoh squares. Every other di-
agonal row of squares is decorated
with diamond shapes of velvet, black
on one side and white on the other,
studding the centre Of each square.
The rows Of these ornamental shapes
are alternately black and white.
The double wells appear in new de-
signs, all very novel and striking. A
