SPRING WELLS.

In wells there are many new styles
at present, and many of the latest nov
elites are not exactly beautifers. The
pedestrian veil, which has become so
very popular, is now made with ex-
travagantly long ends, and how to ar
range these ends attractively gives
the smart girl another new opportunl-
ty TO show her cleverness. This is the
chiffon veil, you know, which has the
top of the veil gathered onto a ring
fitting the crown of the hat The veil
covers the face like a flmy bag There
are two chiffon ends at the back,
which are crossed, and then drawn
around in front
Sometimes these ends are tied in a
bow under the chin, but the smart
Girl prefers not to tie them She
fastens the ends with a pin, draping
the upper part OF the right end in a
slight festoon. which makes it short
er than the left as they hang down
over the gown. She may fasten these
ends of her veil with her favorite col
lege pin or with her lad pin, but for
this purpose she always uses a pin
which for some reason known only to
herself she likes best-Woman $
