fashionable. and have nothing TO do
with any of the rich greens.
Rainbow wells Of tulle are the most
artistic Of all the autumn accessories.
The fad for using rainbow hues IN
juxtaposition came In with the we'd
ding of a young French Countess. who
had her six bridesmaids wear gowns
Of pink, green and blue tulle over
yellow taffeta and Romney hats OF
similar materials. only one layer OF
tulle actually goes over the face. The
remaining hues are used for the Dor
ders Of which the upper and wider
helps to trim the small turban with
which It usually is worn.
From rainbow 70 coronation Dor
behring's for veiiings IL not a far cry
for the shades used in the first COM
bination are merely deeper tones OF
the shades employed for the royal
blendings- The coronation borderincs
chiefly are seen upon the chiffon veil
inSs intended for motoring tours and
nearly always they are worn with vi
ira smart coats having broad collars
and cuffs of overlapping satin bands
in deep purple, blue and red. edged
with a fine line Of gold tinsel.
Egyptian veilings are designed en-
tirely for evenings when woman
is not supposed to wear anything over
her face, and yet often finds her
self obliged to do so In order to per-
fectly protect her couture when en-
route to a dinner or TO the opera
And these veilings are quite az splen-
did as any OF the gowns with which
they temporarily are worn for their
centres are OF finest Brussels and
their borders of gold or silver tinseI
or beaded thickly with pearls and
rhinestones. Sometimes the ERvptisn
veil Is draped in the centre to form
a hood ~vith curved front which
droops low over the brow and pro
tects the couture without crushing II.

across the left shoulder. Some OF
these white nuns are backed with
satin bags which take the place OF the
cordeliere, but IL economy need not be
considered the cordeliere is added TO

Feather-Trimmed Chapeaux in High
Esteem
Black, brown. duh red and mid
night blue feather fringe is put upon
the edges Of the big sombreros Of
dark velvet which all the girls who
know what is smartest in headgear
are wearing. One favorite model on
the wild West order has a slightly
upturned edge fringed with black os-
trich and across the crown are two
camel feathers in burnt orange and
black. Another sombrero with mush-
room crown, is broadly turned up
ward at back and sides with punches
of short ostrich tips, and third hat
of the same order Is wreathed with
marabout. Naturally-colored plumes
in the state in which they IRE pur-
chased at the African markets are
placed on runabout wids-brimmed
hats of French felt, but on the more
deliberately trimmed chapeauK only
the most skilfully treated OF ostrich
feathers are used. These are made
into wreathes terminating with
aigrettes of interminKled marabout or
gouhra and into separate ornaments
consisting Of one towering plume cen
tered in a base made OF i've shorter
and low-drooping feathers. Entire
crowns of ostrich or marabout mount
ed upon fine wire are among the
ready -to-put-on hat furnishings. and
these are. certain to strongly appeal
to the woman who is her own MILL
ner.
Toques made wholly OF feather tip
ends, mounted upon buclsram and
silk-lined, are wonderfully pretty and
light of weight. Some OF them arc
garnished with clusters of tips In
contrasting color or with aigrettes
made up OF fancy feathers. but they
are smartest when IN black. white or

NecIpfeces Are of Infinite Variety.
The timely adoption of a neckpiece
Of short length often prevents the &C
quisition of a cough which continues
throughout the winter and as the
scarfs of narabout or ostrich spirals
are inexpensive, there is no reason
why the woman of average pros
perity should not have scarf. The
newest ones of marabout are prac-
teal looking affairs in six strands OF
black and natural lengths measuring
about a yard and a quarter. Then
there are fluffy scarfs of ostrich in two
tones of red, green, brown, blue or
copper and as the dye experts are able
to produce any required shades, the
woman who makes a point of never
throwing anything away, thrifty col
lects all the remnants of ostrich
plumage to be unearthed from the
scrap trunks, carries them to feather
emporium and shortly thereafter
arouses the envy of her friendS by
appearing with a neckpiece which has

she will certainly spend the after-hol-

| It seems to be a hard and fast rule,

that white sets are solely for evening

urafly goes a filrny white veil. and if
the bride chooses to have 1t long
enough to make a becoming frame
about her face and allows its long
ends to fall a trife below the waist
line, her appearance as she PAGES
down the aisle will be as charming
as that of many a girl who weds at
the end of her first season in So
ciety.
Shadow veilings are most of all
hattering to feminine faces and these
neshes, although closely covered. are
so exceedingly light that while the
chin, mouth, nose and eyes are ap-
parently half blotted out by sprawling
flowers and foliage, those features are
not distorted and to see and breathe
through the netting is perfectly easy
In fact, so thin are these shadowy
effect wells that women possessed with
the determination to conceal their
wrinkles and crowsfeet from the IN
kind gaze of the public, are lining the
new face coverings with the hlmleSt

layer of gauze lends the withered

Whether the American woman has
hundreds or thousands of dollars to
spend upon her autumn wardrobe, she
is so determined to have things that
are tasteful that she indefaugably
