EDITH DEACON
DECLARES WAR
ON VEIL FAD

Miss Edith Deacon of Newport refuses
to be a "faddist."
She had almost been converted to the
use OF the double veil la Turkish, and
actually appeared with her face thus en-
veloped at the Casino. When she was
halfway across the lawn, however, the
orchestra struck up "A March Of a Ma
rionette," whereupon pretty Miss Dea-
con tore off her wells, jammed them into
her pocket and began a lively little dance
II the music.
Flanked OH one side by Miss Vera Gill
bert and on the other by Miss Dorothy
Kane, Miss Deacon danced her way across
the lawn with marked grace. to the de-
light of scores who saw her. Miss Dea-
con considers the double veil a delusion
and a snare.
II is evidently n great handicap TO en-
thusiasm and many. including Miss Dea-
con, will take a few frecklcs IL need be
rather than go about with their faces
swathed in chiffon. 1t will be interesting
to see how many follow Miss Deacon in
her war on the latest fad.
