The Normandy Cap Arrangement

The Normandy Cap Arrangement
of the Veil.
There are various attractive ways of ar
ranging the wedding veil each becoming
to the various types of face and figure
What looks charming on one may be
wholly unbecoming to another, SO that
the various arrangements should be care
fully studied to gain In the end the most
artistic effect. The once fashionable face
veil, thrown back over the coiffure at the
end of the ceremony is no longer used,
though it cannot be denied that there was
an indeflnable fascination about 1t which
appealed to many. The Normandy cap ar
rangement of the veil whether 1t be of
tulle or lace is perhaps the most artistic
and generally becoming Of any now In
vogue. The hair Is arranged high on the
head and the top of the veil softly pleat-
ed into cap form over the knot, and pin
ned In place at the front with a hand
some brooch or finished with the conyen-
tional spray of orange blossoms. This ar
rangement of the veil over the softly
waved pompadour is equally successful
with tulle or lace.
