FALL HATS SHOULD BE
CHOSEN TO SUIT Wells

\ Slowly but surely the lace veil has
been making its way back as a part Of
the summer and early fall millinery in
way that promises that it will have
TO be reckoned with in the Itll hats.
So far it has taken the form of the
draped veil or of the real lace veil
rather than the face meshes, which
have been superseded to q certain eX-
/ tent by the reign of the little invisible
hair nets. Both the chiffon and the
real lace veil are such factors in Par
isian headgear just now that whatever
shape VIII most prettily lend itself TO
the draping of q veil becomes the IA
vOrite. The turban, for instance, lends
itself to the draping of a lace veil, and
the turban, it is predicted, is going to
be a success this autumn. One of the
points to remember is that the veil III
the best taste is of less gay color
than matching the hat; the little gray
hat win have the gray veil the little
dark blue hat the dark blue veil, and
the same in all colored millinery. This
applies to lace as well as to chiffon, and
the lace wells when they are real can
be successfully dyed to match the hat
-
The attractiveness of one of these
colored lacy affairs thrown back over
the nat is Tar greater than chiffon
one, which can never be relied upon to
place itself becomingly, and the white
ones have an exceedingly smart effect,
and are especially appropriate for nice
hats and gowns. Much of the effective
ness of q particularly attractive little
costume in navy blue depended upon
the chic look Of the white lace veil
which was worn around the hat. The
gown was a simple eton coat, and the
short skirt, sun plated of blue yelling,
had, Of course, elbow sleeves. A white
muslin waist had plated jabot and
tiny blue cravat. The hat was burnt
straw, tipped over the nose and filed
at the back with American Beauty
roses. Around the hat was twist of
black velvet, and over the face was a
cream lace veil. The fact that these
little wells are about the price of Sc for
the real will at least prevent their be-
ing common until good imitation laces
are made in their place; Will prevent
their being overdone, for one season al
least. although there are imitation laces
which are also washable, which are not
to be despised. When It is considered,
however. that a veil of this kind is
about all that is needed for the trim
ming Of hat, it is by no means an eS-
travagant investment even for the real
lace. The best of these wells are the
ones which come in shapes which are
almost straight lengths, but which are
slightly curved at the bottom and
rounded at the corners. \ novelty
which comes in q square is an odd look
ing affair. which was only designed to
wear over the extremely fiat. lingerie
hats. and which is thrown over them,
hanging with a square effect behind,
which win not be liked by American
women. Even in the wells Of conven-
tional shape there is choice in becom-
inqness. those with less border and far
apart pattern being the most attrac-
tive when worn over the face.
Where the little, tightly drawn face
wells are worn thin white mesh with
black dots is the favorite, and these
We're drawn more tightly over the nose
than formerly. Those who lean to the
decidedly effective are also wearing &
gay colored ombre chiffon veil draped
over light colored hats, SO that the ends
are caught UP into a loose bunch at the
left side and with this little face
veil with colored dots to match the
chiffon.
For the most practical automobile
wells there is j new waterproof chiffon
which is = really washable. It only
comes by the yard, as the ready-made
kinds, as a rule, have not washing pos
sibilities Enough has to be purchased
to allow OF cutting the full length of
a width OF chiffon and cutting the veil
in = little more than half the width.
Three yards is the length needed to
cross around at the back of the hair
and tie In front. which is the approved
STYLE for motor usefulness. To make il
lie on the hat a circular ring of wire
is inserted in the hem at the middle Of
one edge Of the veil. which holds it fiat
to the crown of the hat. The rrice Of
a good quality Of the washable chiffon
is So cents. while the ready made kind.
which comes at $3.50. will not wash and
has to be renovated by dry cleaning.
Aside from wells, there is a new note
in the black flowers which promises TO
be conspicuous in the fall millinery.
Enormous sable roses will be used on
the felt and velvet hats Of 1astelle
shades, and sometimes the black leaves
are shaded with Just touch OF laven-
ders. Dinks and blues.
