DAINTY Wells FOR TOWN AMI
COUNTRY WEAR.
White Chantilly and Chiffon Are the
Most Economical and Be-
coming.

The wells the thing, as the summer girl
who goes away or stays in town is finding
cut to her sorrow and the depletion of her
allowance. Dame Fashion has decreed that
the face is not to be tanned this summer,
| and the veil is naturally her strongest ally
At all the shops may be heard the tale of
extravaganza in wells. Especially with
dressy costumes. q woman must have a
veil to match every hat. A striking illus
tration of this law is shown in the wells to
match hats formed of foliage in elusive
tints. Just as the leaves shade, so do the
wells. from green to blue.
Brown, which has enjoyed tremendous
vogue on account of the many spring frocks
of brown and shades bordering on that
&C lor, is in small demand, and, for
wear with sailor hats the correct color is
blue a shade bordering on Yale blue. II
Genes in plain chiffon with hemstitched
borders, tucked borders, and borders run
With from three to five rows of very mar
row ribbon exactly matching the veil
hese wells for outing wear are not less
than yard and half in length, and can
BE- washed with pure soap and water, and
| il oned. Chantilly wells must be pulled and
| pinned down to dry.
In colored wells, the sensational Offering
| of the season is the ombre-shaded yelling,
which comes in lengths of two and half
| yards. Directly in the center. where the
, veil spreads over the face, it is white, Dor
| dering on flesh tint. From there 1t shades
| outward. deeper and deeper. until at the
very end 1t Is almost dark tone. For in
ste nee in red it shades fl en- almost white
| to pink, rose and deep crimson. THESE Vells
are crossed at the back of the hat, brought
| re und in the fl ont and tied, the deep snaoe
coming directly under the chin They
come in red, green, blue, brown and laven-
der.
In Cluster Dots.
Next in point of sensationalism are the
cluster dot wells, which show five or SIX
chenille dots clustered in just one spot on
the veil length, usually on one cheek. These
are not generally becoming. but are fancied
by women who go in for odd effects.
Borders of graduated dots are prettler-
for example, a gray veil of chiffon of soft
est tint, with border showing four rows
of chenille dots in graduated sizes and
shades, darker and larger on the bottom
row. and fading upward.
The tiny face wells worn under hats have
quite gone out, but for those who like the
suggestion of a double fabric. there Is
yelling which combines two distinct weaves,
white under black, coarse net everything
| the finer one.
Chantilly lace in both black and white is
| In high favor for made-up wells. The black
Is used as an actual face protection, hang
ing gracefully around the edge Of the hat
and shielding the complexion. The white
Chantilly wells are used quite generally for
draping over the hats, and come az large
as fifty-two inches square.
For automobiling there 10 a heavy lace
veil three yards long in forid pattern
which completely hides the face. The che
mile dotted Tuxedo vels on coarse net
with ribbon borders. are much used for
driving, and are a yard and a half long,
For horseback riding, wells are used not
a little, usually a fine net, fastened snugly
around the hat Anything that fiutters
| would go badly with the tailored effect OF
the habit.
