The Bridal Veil.

The fine French tulle veil is more the
vogue for June brides than the heavier
veil of lace. 1t lends itself easily to
graceful drapings, and is much more
appropriate to wear with the wedding
gown of filmy material. The bridal
veil is no longer worn over the face un-
less there is some individual reason
for preferring it. There are many
varying ways Of arranging the bridal
veil this year. but perhaps one OF the
smartest is to have the veil formed IN
a Mary Tudor cap. The tulle is shirred
on white silk cords. shaped to the head
in caprform, and is held in place with
two cabochons. one at each side of the
head. These flower cabochons need
not necessarily be of orange blossoms;
tiny wreaths of white forget-me-nots
or lilies-of-the-valley, gardenias or
white violets may be used.-Woman's

am. steamer. Mrs. Grantlcy had
told her how worried and busy poor
Tom had been. If she had known
the Grantleys were going at that
time HE would have gone too. She
would have enjoyed the trip with
them even if Tom had been too
busy and occupied to take her about.
Dear Tom. He had never encour-
aged her intimacy with Helen Grant
ley. She was not his style of wom-
an, though she was undeniably hand
some and brilliant in a Cleopatra
sort of way. She was SO popular
with most men. But Tom could
never bear any woman who made
herself noticeable in any way. ktA#
mo woman ever suited him SO
well as his brown-eyed. womanly
wife," How often he had said that
Tom had never dropped his loving
ways. true. they had been married
but two years, but. she had known
men who had been positively coarse
to their wives in far less time than
that.
1t was so odd that Thurston would
not understand the way she felt. 1t
would be so mean, so disloyal TO
poor Tom to forget him so soon
No-not to forget him, exactly; she
would never do that-but to live and
be happy and be loved while he
no. decidedly, Thurston must wait:
Men were SO selfish, the best OF
them. I"
IF ION love me-" Thurston had
said, ''do not allow mistaken i'm
pulse of conscience to keep us
apart" Conscience! 1t was but a
simple act of justice to the dead.
Tom would have been inconsolable
il it had been she who had died. He
had SO often told her she had filled
his life SO completely.
How angry Thurston had looked
when she had refused to marry him
so soon. Still she had never admired
him quite so much as when he had
gone away with that black frown on
his handsome face. He had slammed
the door, too. One only slams door
as a last resort. ri
How fortunate she was to be loved
by two good men, It was so puz-
zling to know just how to decide.
OF course if Thurston insisted she
might shorten the waiting six
months
A cinder snapped and flew out on
her knee. She reused herself to q
realizing sense of her surroundings.

NEW NECK RUFFLES.
Worn with the Warm Weather
Costumes.

The prettiest neck ruffles are made
Of rose colored silk muslin and these
are edged with rose colored chiffon,
upon which there is a fagoting in
black. Black silk fagoting is easily
made, and if one wants a rose colored
neck ruffie one can get the silk muslin,
the chiffon and, if possible, little
panne velvet to make piping upon the
foundation of the neck rufle. Let
there be little black in it and do not
forget that il must hang down very
long in the front. Ear below the waist

Over the chiffon foundation there is
placed a series of chiffon rufles and

there are very narrow bands of bIacL
velvet, no wider than straw, and each
side of the. band of black velvet there
may be fringe or the tiniest of rucb-
ings. The whole makes a very nice
ornament for the neck.

and so rapid the sale. No sooner do
they arrive than they go out, and the
