We're called TO It.
When you are riding in an omnibus or
other conveyance, when you have. in
short, an opportunity of watching a wo-
man who IS wearing a veil, notice how
she tries to keep the material from get
ting between her lips. The veil has this
propensity, especially when its wearer is
talking. You will find that some ladies
lift a hand 70 the edge of the stun and
gently pull II straight, but you will also
perceive that many OF them endeavor 20
keep Il out of the mouth by various
movements of the lip. The second
method gives a disagFesable appearance

they would avoid u If they were aware

There may be an inclination on the
part OF some readers to smile at this
friendly warming; so much has been
written OF late about the different ail-

many of which evils are either eXagger-
ated or non-eXistenL-that the veil lip
will probably be accepted as the view of
an alarmist
Yet, ii is an undoubted fact. verified
by constant observation, that some
wearers of wells fall into a face-distort-
ing habit, so It will do no harm to guard
ourselves from following a bad example.
