With summer passing, the white
light of fashion shifts to autumn
styles. In this glare the veil
stands out prominently, for every
sign is that it will be more popu-
lar than ever this fall.
The modish veil will be rather
freakish. The spots and blocks
will be irregular in shape and posi-
ton. The more irregularly they
are arranged the more stylish the
veil will be.
But, bark! There is a greater
extreme than this. 1T is THE
USE OF SILVER AND GOLD
TINSEL IN Wells.
These wells are now selling in
New York, having just been i'm

The pert and saucy soubret is, of
course, in her glory in these, and
we can tolerate her because she
amuses us, but think of conser-
vative young business women
wearing ball gowns into office
buildings! It is too much, far
too much. far too much!
Church societies are agitating
reform. The priests of the Cath
Ollie church have warned women
of that faith against the low-cut

ASTONISHING
NEW STYLE IN Wells
FROM PARIS

ported from Paris, where they
are in great vogue.
The edges of some of the wells
seen in New York are trimmed
with the tinsel. The more freak
ish of the wells have IRREGU-
LAR BLOCKS and DOTS in silver
and gold tinsel. The effect is
striking, as may be imagined. A
model who placed one of these
wells on her face in a Fifth ave-
nue. shop wore long, pendant ear
rings of black glass. The sheen
of the black and the glitter of
the metal dots created an effect
that might be endurable in Paris,
but that would surely cause
blockade on an American street.

There's just one place on earth
where women try to Guido Paris
in extravagant fashions, and that
place is New York. In their
frenzy to be "Frenchy," these
women lose sight of the artistic
touch always to be found in Paris
modes. and go to vulgar ex-
tremes.
Witness the collarless bodice!
The neck of the Parisienne's
gown is cut just a little low-not
much. 1t was left to the New
York woman to cut hers down to
the point of indecency, and she
did 1t! Now she combines this
with the tight skirt.

has taken some of the more ex-
treme types from actual photo

"Quick, quick! ordered the

her carefully, reverently, and
striding across the carpety ground
lifted her into the snug branches
of young maple. A rich, brassy
tinkling came from the direction
of the purling branch, nearer,
nearer. The wild COW poked her
red-flecked head through the
bushes and regarded them almost
mildly. But the girl shivered
charmingly.

dreadfully brave, Mr.. Kane?

young man. I'm going to stand

The young man turned quickly.
The wild cow was sauntering
slowly toward him. When she had
ambled to spot two feet in front
of him she halted and licked out
her pink tongue.

Mr.. Kane turned to the girl in

said, airly waving a kiss. Then
he advanced to the reflective wild
COW, and, grasping short, sharp
horn in each hand, he turned her
about and started back to the
purling brook. From the snug,
leafy maple the girl shrieked in
pretty soprano staccato. The wild
COW made no sound save to tinkle
the bell in gentle protest. The
