Fashionable Wells.

A LREADY more wells are being worn
by smartly dressed women. They
are at present choosing whatever style of
veil suits their individual fancy.
Dotted .veilings in simple and fancy
meshes and the plain hexagons in a
heavy mesh are very becoming types.
Lace wells are in every variation OF the
cobweb or shadow designs. Those in
large patterns are much worn and are
usually IN the shadow mesh with s;~S-
run design in the form OF a border, in
scroll effect, or in q scattered all-over
design.
The new purple and emerald green veil
ings are vivid and give dashiaess to an
otherwise SOmber hat. There is an ad-
vantage in tn $ method Of acquiring color
for hat. The veil can be removed al

fall. and as such hats require wells To
give them style, a close. tidy arrange

all-black veil with dainty mesh and a
tiny six or velvet or chenille dot and the
black-dotted white wells are used with
these hats.

ion veifngs in the shadow effects One In
flesh pink with intersecting hairiines and
tiny shadow squares of back is favor
ite When worn, the black design shows
very family and the soft pink of the
groundwork blends in with the skin t.nts
enhancing the latter appreciably. Many

touches of black here and there are seen
F'ilet meshes on which are wrought
large chantilly foliage and floral des gins
are among the new veilings. On large
hat which holds a vel away from the
face the style is a smart one.
Shetland or slk-finish veilings are the
varieties which are most effectively used
as Grapes, owing to their soft. cling.pg
qualities Among the drapes with borders
are those with a cobweb mesh, others
with a bold round mesh. and still others
with dainty fine mesh.
For auto and travelling wear there are
the waterproof chiffon cloth wells, which
protect from rain, dust and wind. They
are in all the leading shades, including
the popular purple and green. Some OF
these wells have woven borders; others
are neatly hemstitched. The usual dimen-
sions are two yards long and one yard
wide. The advantages of a weatherproof
veil of enveloping proportions do not
need to be enlarged upon

Some of the wiseacres are prophesying
that if there is a decided revival of early
Victorian styles-and this is more than
limited at by this autumn's fashions-the
small waist will follow as a matter of
course and there will be a return TO stiff
corests which emphasize the contours of
bust and hip; for only by means of such
corsets can a tiny waist be acquired. In

The sleeves of work dresses should be
three-quarter length. SO that they will
not have to be rolled or pinned back,
giving freedom in the use of the arms
without fear of getting the dress soiled,
and a regular roll collar or else Dutch
collar should be worn.
Dark blue and dark brown lawns, with
small white dot or fine white stripe, are
pretty if made without any trimming. With
lawn at ) or Z cents a yard most women
can afford two or three work dresses,
which will be. sufficient to provide a
change and insure cleanliness of attire.
These same dresses are just as suitable
for afternoon wear about the house as
they are for kitchen use. A neat dress is
made of blue linen. with bias bands OF
red and white plaid around the neck
and on the short sleeves. There is little
variation in the skirt. No matter how
the waist may vary, the skirts are usu-

be short enough to permit the wearer to
go upstairs without having to lift her

There are a number of substitutes for
the prohibited aigrette which is now be-
ing tabooed by popular sentiment even
where not affected by law. The most
fashionable of these substitutes is the
vulture plumage, and some of the vulture
aigrettes are very handsome. If not as

can hardly resist the temptation to wear
it even while deploring the cruelty which
makes it possible. Goura feathers are
also much used, and of course the effec-
tive paradise feathers which droop SO

med with paradise. is pictured, and this
hat is one of the smartest creations on

These Incroyable hats, as they are call
ed the shape having been very fashion
able during the directoire period Of the
Little CorporarS regime, are not becom-
ing to all faces. One must have soup
con Of chic and dash to make the Incroy-
able smart and not simply trying. Some
of these models look, when off the head.
like mammoth tea cosies, and In truth
they might easily be put to this use, but
the secret of wearing the Napoleonic
shape is in its proper adjustment on the
head. 1t must be put on-just So and
tilted a wee bit-just SO, and it must
neither shade the left eye too much. nor
sag too far toward the back of the neck,
nor present an absolutely straight-acroSs
front to the beholder. The Napoleon hat
illustrated is by RebOux, and Is made of
seal brown plush, the white paradise
feather being attached to the turned
back brim and crown under a cockade
or pleated brown ribbon. Another Re-
boux creation is illustrated in the tOque
combining brown, reds and orange in a
warm harmony of autumn foliage tints.
