Graceful wearing OF a scarf Ia something
very near a fine art. and the average woman
drags a flmy scarf about her shoulders
with very little consideration or UNDER
standing OF its Rsthetic possibilities; but
My Lady Of the Vanities studies the drap-
ing Of her scarf until she knows TO the
smallest fraction every touch OF coquetry
IL may add to a toilette. every line of grace
II may lend her figure. every charming
setting IL may afford her face.
The. Parisierne il past mistress Of the
scarf adjus-SIent and for come seasons
past the sGarf hns assumed great impor-
lance a. a toilette accessory, appear ing
in q naltitudc Of forms, from the great
head enveloping scarf veil OF chiffon or
silk tissue which is an indispensable part
of every modish woman's wardrobe since
the motor whirled into universal favor,
to the exquisite shoulder scarf OF rare
cobwebby lace or tissue laden with in
iricate hand embroidery.
More than ever this season does the
fashionably attired woman go enveloped
in floating folds Of hillowy tulle or chiffo
or lace. Motor wells OF all kinds are sold
in tremendous numbers and a woman may
make a very considerable hole in her pocket
money by investing in enough wells Of the
more costly sort to TT her out we'll for the
summer.
Not only for motoring. but for a great
variety Of occasions are these swathing
motor wells used. The summer girl has
found that il il o comfort to have a hat
we'll anchored. whether she is driving in
motor or carriage. Yachting or facing
strong winds on mountain or moor; 70 she
ties a big becoming veil over her hat in
motor fashion and has the satisfaction Of
showing that, II the veil is properly chosen
and adjusted. il ia becoming as well Is
practical.
The very wide scarf or the square wells
capable Of falling over the face In front and
being brought down closely over the hair
and neck in the back are the chosen motor
wells now. few OF the shaped and shirred
arrangements which were among the ex-
perichents in the early stages Of motor garb

drawn back over the crown. and under the
wings and then in wide ample folds ar
ranged 10 cover hair and ears and tie
under the chin.
Great wells Of chiffon, tissue and lace are
worn with the wide brimmed hats, and
though one still sees such wells drawn
closely under the chin and caught by a
fancy pin in the back some Of the smartest
women of Paris have abandoned that fad
and are wearing their big wells falling
straight from the wide brim. Often these
wells fall in very long cloudlike drapery
or scarf ends in the back. and they may Of
course be thrown back over the hat in front.
leaving the face free when the wesrer SO
desires. This sort OF yelling is immensely
becoming when cleverly done. but it is
already carried to great extremes by French
~elegantes, prodigious quantities Of the
vaporous chiffon or gauze being used for
one veil. Biscuit, sand color. the modish
brown s, greens and grays are all popular
veil colors. but nothing is more becoming
than white, and the woman who cannot
look pretty behind white chiffon or lace
in beyond establishment. A very pale
pink chiffon, too. is wonderfully becoming
when worn over the face.
Among the scarfs proper there is a wide
range OF materials. from soft silks and crepes
to tulle and lace and chiffon. Wonderfully
beautiful scarfs Of real lace are liked by
women who can afford such costly luxuries
but are Of course out Of the reach Of the
woman whose pocket money Is moderate.

Of handsome lace. though even such indul-
gence in real lace is expensive.
Printed scarfs of chiffon. mousseline,
crepe and sheer silk are lovely in design
and coloring and many Of the new offerings
are OF much greater width than those TO
which we have been accustomed. affording
still further opportunities for graceful
draping and handling.
Embroidered scarfs. too. are in evidence,
and though few Of the richer models Of this
type are to be seen in the shops Parisiennes
have a great liking for the one tone
scarf ornamented lavishly with hand en-
broidery in self color. These embroidered
scarfs are especially pretty In the softest
and most lustrous OF crepes. and fringe Of
one kind or another ia often used to finish
them, deep knotted fringe being set upon
the ends, or perhaps a little ball fringe
finishing the entire edge.
Hand embroidered scarfs are made. too.
in the sheer stuffs. such as silk. mousseline
and net; and most exquisite scarfs Of cob
webby soft null or batiste. preferably in
the slightly yellowish antique tone, have
deep borders and sometimes a scattered
allover design in marvellous hand en-
broidery. Inset lace is often mingled with
the embroidery and lace frlls may finish
the edges. but the lace used upon such a
scarf must be Of the finest.
Fichus Of silk or silk mousseline or chiffon
have a decided vogue among the Parish
ennes and are often worn in rather audacious
coloring but with the unsrring French
