Heavier and Thicker Wells

Misery has ever been partial to
company, and the woman who muffies
her head in wells this summer may
find consolation in the fact there are
plenty of others as uncomfortable as
she. In spite of the prediction weeks
ago that wells were going out" they
are growing heavier and thicker as
the season goes on. They bear many
designs, too, which should delight the
hearts of oculists. 1t doesn't matter
that the veil is called a germ trap,

germs cause skin troubles. When was
health permitted to interfere with
fashion? 1t has been ordained that
