New Orleans. La. April TO- 1907.
Staff Correspondence of The Chief.
The modish veil at present bears q
striking resemblance to the automobile
veil which enjoyed SO great vogue
two seasons ago. It comes in cloudy,
soft chiffon, two and half and three
yards long, and is arranged closely
about the hat and face and secured
with bar pin at the back of the head.
The long ends are allowed to fall free.
These wells are shown in a variety of
shades; brown is the favorite, how
ever, with green close second and
navy blue still holding its own as 8
tried and true and emtnently safe color.
Tan Oxford ties with hose to match
have broken out like q spring fever.
[ saw a particularly smart-l looking
costume on particularly stunning
girl one morning this week. Her Waist
was of the strictly tailored kind. but
embeIlished with one of those charm
ing lingerie frills which are worn over
the front lap of the waist and reach
from collar to belt in a soft cascade OF
embroidery and lace. A hand-em-
broidered standing collar was set OFF
with a stiff little bow that exactly
matched the skirt, which was knobby
check with warm tan ground. Her
hat was q Tuscan straw, mushroom
shape, trimmed with black velvet rib
bon and red roses, with touch of
brown msline at the back where the
ribbon hung over the brim and against
her hair in full bow and long. dam
Cling ends. Brown ties, long brown
gloves and brown ribbon belt crushed
into handsome FURNISHED buckle COM
pleted this extremely smart get.up.
The lingerie frills for tailored waists
are very new and pretty, and lend q
dressy touch to the simplest and se-
verest costume.
Sunday was q radiant day at the
parks. There was a prodigal waste
of sunlight and sweetness at Audubon,
and throughout the entire day pic
nickers and fresh-a air seekers thronged
its shaded walks and grassy recesses.
In tho afternoon the band concert drew
q gay crowd about the giant oaks that
flank the broad walk at the entrance
of the park, and this atmosphere of
music, light and laughter. with the
sight of 80 much spring fnery, such
flashing eyes and such happy, healthy
children at play under the trees, stirred
one to q strange sense of exhilsration
and somehow awakened feeling OF
broad and beautiful charity towards
all the world.
