The fine French tulle veil is more the
vogue for June brides than the heavier
veil of lace. II 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 tulleis shirred
on white silk cords. shaped to the head
in a cap-form, and is held in place with
two edbochons. one at each side of the

or hlies-of-the-valley, gardenias or
white violets may be used--Woman's
