mOrS with which we are always fe8dleO
until definite fashions are at hand Is that
this spring will see the end Of the face
veil for the time being. This is. of course,
quite an absurdity. for women have too
chronic an objection to unkempt locks and
realize too keenly how much q veil con-
tributes to a well-groomed appearance ever
to dispense with 1t.
1t does point probably to a revival OF the
draped veil, of which already many are
seen in Paris where fashionable Paristennes
have gone quite mad over the Jane Haolng
way of veil wearing.
The Hading veil Is distinct revivai, put
is as much furore now as when 1t was
first introduced a few years ago by the
popular actress. 1t Is, by the way, quite
a different thing from the floating chiffon
scarf with which we are painfuily Iamina,
in this country. It is very dignified ana
artistic drapery Of lace, put on with con-
summate sense of what is becoming.
The long lace scarfs that form the Had
ing veil are, suited only to the grahan =
toilette" of the matren and are worn on no
other occasion even by her, and by the
young girl not at all. For travelling ana
ordinary USE when drapery would appear
quite dowdy, a short lace veil c4osely ueo
about the face is substituted.
Revival Of Crochet.
aThe woman who can use her crochet
hook can turn out very effective trimmings
for summer blouses and gowns. A hand
some French null blouse has a yoke of
real valenciennes lace outlined at the bot
tom with Irish crochet lace in a flower and
vine pattern Gallons of the kind, with
separable motives. are already getting hard
to find, and the woman who expects 10
need them will do we'll to lay in her STOCK
early The woman who can crochet can
find books of Illustrated designs with full
directions for making. The square cut
yoke extending the full width of the bod
ice from shoulder to shoulder is the smart
est just now. 1t is often crossed with
straps of one kind or another.
For the Bride.
Wedding gowns seen lately are OF satin,
in many instances of heavy quality, but
with the easy draping weave that Is de-
manded from all sorts of materials. Plain
skirts are the rule, though occasionally one
sees handsome lace used. for skirt garni-
lures as well as on the bodice Of wedding
gowns.
Exceptional and becoming was a costume
of lace made up over cloth of silver worn
at a recent church wedding. Wells are OF
Brussels net, edged with point or other real
lace, of plain malines and OF long scarf
shaped pieces of lace that are often family
heirlooms.
A blonde bride who wore veil of the
latter type recently had 1t arranged on the
head in sort of Juliet cap that was most
becoming. yet concealed little of her beau
tiful hair.
More jewels have been worn by brides in
weddings since the holidays than has been
the custom for some time.
Large colored stones. as well as pearls
and diamonds, accompany the bridal toilets
Lingerie Hints.
The Japanese lines that much to
the fore in dress designing have been intro
duced in the more exclusive styles of night
gowns, as well as in the various negliges
under their dominion.
Wide fichu collars are also to the fore,
and are very pretty, but have the disadvan-
tage of mussng quickly and being attract
i've only in their primal freshness.
If styles of this sort selected it is
better to have the collar made up of tucks
and laces or embroideries when they last
much better.
For Dressy Occasions.
Plastron effects are seen many of the
white chiffon and white lace bodices worn
at opera matinees by fashionable women
and girls.
A chiffon waist with a yoke and sleeves
partially of lace has a square otherwise
shaped plastron set on the front, the lower
part perhaps swinging loose. Indeed,
part of all these plastrons swing loose;
otherwise they would be appliques or in
sertions, depending the manner of their
applca ton.
For Dainty Neckwear.
Linen turnover collars are daily gaining
in popularity, and women hail with delight
any novelty in this line. One of the pref
test shown has the regulation linen band
and a turnover of Irish crochet lace. With
it can be worn one of the narrow silk ties,
lawn tie edged with crochet lace of one
of the many fascinating jabot effects in
silk or lawn.
