About Veilings

nHE cobweb or shadow veilings are
still very popular. although for
- spring there seems to be In
creased favorillsm shown to chenille
dots. This Is to be regretted. Few
of us are perfect beauties and 1t takes
beautiful face to overcome the eff
feet given by tiny dots over the skin.
These have q distressing way Of rob-
bling the wearer Of a tooth or cross
ing the eyes. And 1t cannot be denied
that the dotted surface is injurious to
the eyesight. We do not go to the
extreme view taken by one physician,
who suggests that the wearing Of the
veil is changing woman's nose! But
let us enter protest against the
heavily dotted surface from behind
which 1t Is predicted woman will look.
Lace wells are extremely long In the
new models. They reach to below the
" aist at the back, and are worn with
medium sized hats.
Chiffon in checked and striped pat
terms is in vogue for the draped wells
over large hats and nets are in plain
and fancy weaves.
The oriental palmleaf Is perhaps the
newest pattern in, f1ne meshes. the
whole design being unobtrustve and
decidedly attractive on account Of its
departure from the conventional
And, as a last thought, let the veil

butterfly or spider be consigned to

The Vogue for Foulards

A THE winter rolls away the spring
~ silks are displayed with forcefui

and convenient widths foularos are
probably accorded the most favor.
