AUTUMNAL VEILINGS
IN A RIOT OF COLOR AND ORNATE
PATTERNS.
Most Conservative Combinations Are
in Black, White and
Silver.

Written for The Evening Star.
Gorgeous is the one word which will de-
scribe the fall velings. Vivid blue, green,
lavender and rose wells have been offered
for the past few summer seasons, but they
fade into insignificance when compared with
the stamped chiffon effects of the hour.
The girl who has only one ready-to-wear
fall hat can give it new twist by the pos
session of several wells which will combine
well with the hat for the new fall wells are
draped to envelop completely even the
broadcast of millinery. These richly tinted
veilings promise to last well into cold
weather, and it is certain that they strike
a rich color note in autumn raiment.
Following all millinery trimming, passe-
menteries, ribbons and even silk-and-wool
fabrics the simplest of the new veilings are
shaded. AS a rule. the ribbon border runs
around three sides of the veil, which is
yard and a half long, and shows the deep
est shade of the color selected. The chiffon
closest to the ribbon employs the same tint,
then gradually fades, until at the side or
the veil where the draping begins the chlf-
fon is pure white. These wells are SHOWN IN
yellows, blues, greens, puppies, redS lAner-
lean beauty tints prevailing and the popu-
lar new shading, from pinklsh Wmte
through ecrus and chocolates, to dark
brown. A.,

all is offered for wear with a white auto

overlaid with white silk dots and bordered
with white ribbon. For wear with an all
black or dark green hat there is offered a
veil which holds all the shadings of the

| bordered with black ribbon, and the surface
| is broken irregularly by half-inch dots, en-

| gold all so blended that as the mesh is

These fancy veilings make the face in

objects viewed take on fantastic colorings.

shields the face.
