VEIL ADDS MUCH TO EFFECT
Selection of Material and Its Adjust
ment Are Matters of the Utmost
Importance.

One reason why the French woman
-aristocrat or bourgeois-invariably
looks so smart, is because of the care
with which she selects and puts on
her veil. Just now she is wearing
with her tailored hat complexion veil
Of flesh-colored fine maline which,
from a short distance does not show
at all, and which makes her skin seem
of dazzling fairness. On this veil, in
the center of a threadlike flower spray
or leaf pattern in self tone, is en-
broidered a beauty spot in black.
and the strip of gauze is adjusted SO
that the spot strikes the face wherever
it most becomes ton one cheek, on
the chin or at one corner of the mouth.
This complexion veil, like many Of
those in all-over chenille-dotted or
small hexagon mesh or in flower mo-
tits or irregular mesh, is drawn close
" about the face and it's ends tuck
ed neatly away under the hats brim
at the back.
Craquele meshes In either bold or
modest floral or scroll pattern, Shet-
land and Chantilly lace wells, are worn
with elaborate hats about which they
are draped in a flowing, loose manner
and their ends allowed to fall grace
fully over the back of the figure.

Smart NeckWear,

The ruche has returned to fashion.
1t is made now in many different ma
terials, not only in the favorite tulle
and net, but in silk and velvet as
we'll. There is a certain freshness
about them which brightens up an
old suit. and there are few faces TO
which the softness of tulle is not be-
coming.
A charming ruche Of velvet and
tulle is composed Of a throat band OF
spreading chou of tulle poised at the
back of the neck, with butterfly eff
feet on either side of the head.
A ruching for V-neck frock has a
black tafetta ribbon for the inside
banding next to the throat, fastening
like the fashionable watch fob with q
slide at the front. The tulle ruffie Is
made Of just one rather broad. single
width Of the material. which measures
five inches across. and is finished
with a picot edge.

VANITY CASES OF ODD DESIGN
Manufacturers Have Devised Many
New Ideas for This Indispens-
able Appendage.

The vanity case has become SO
much a part of woman's OUTFIT that
the manufacturers are discovering
many odd ways for her to carry it.
To take ones powder puff and lip
rouge from ones handbag has become
commonplace; now a woman can tuck
these in her bracelet. One Of the new
kind has flexible links of gold wire,
with the vanity box on top in the
shape of an oval medallion with a
handsome monogram.
Or she can wear it around her neck
as a sautoir. Fascinating vanity pend
ants are shown of all styles and
prices, from tiny ones of French jew
elry to diamond studded boxes no
bigger than a childs locket. Among
the most popular Of the vanity cases
for the neck are those of colored Rus
sian enamel on a linked chain to
match.
Again, one may carry vanity box
on the end of the parasol, or as the
head of a big hatpin, disguised as a
charm for her chatelaine, or even set
in one of the big buttons that orna-
ment her corsage draperies. One
girl, who wore a watch on the back
of one riding glove, had set in the
other a small vanity case ready for
instant use when she dismounted. An
other girl has similar case in the end
of her crop.
The new opera bags include a van
ity box, and those that do not may be
supplied with them by small pockets
sewed to the interior of them.

Travellers Hint.

Some women. who find the suit
case of conventional size often larger
than is needed for a short stay. buy
the size sold for children's use. These
are much easier to carry, and are
often amply sufficient. Women going
on a long trip will find the little case
a great convenience to hold a few be-
longings for a considerable absense
from the supply trunk.
