Washable Veil
Both Charming

THESE two wells have, in addition

they are fashionable.
Many more wells and other dress

year manufacturers of fabrics In
crease their efforts to find stable
coIors and methods of strong weav-
ing, for nearly all articles of apparel.
All fabrics appeal more surely and
permanently to the buying public If
this item of standing the wash is
among their virtues. For cleanliness
is an essential of elegance. Women
have taken to heart the axiom that
to be elegant things must first be
clean The veil of fine meshed net
has widely scattered embroidered
dots and a graceful border made by
applying Renaissance braid and hne
cord The latter Is chain-stitched by
machinery to the net. Such wells are
always in fashion, more or less, and
will last a lifetime They sell from
fifty cents up to two dollars apiece,
as an average. The more elaborate
the border, the more expensive the
veil; therefore there are patterns
that cost more than two dollars.
Even at higher price this veil Is
not bad investment since it may be
used as a fischu, or for trimming a
bodice or as a fiounce. Two wells of
this kind made beautiful decora-

waist line, and hanging straight from
the shoulders, shows how easy and
comfortable looking it is. The waist
line is not defined either in the

blouse deserves it's name as it hangs
over the top of the skirt and the ef-

"It is the touch Of color that counts

course. not all women will favor the
startling, dazzling color combinations
made the vogue by the Cubists and
Futurists, but the woman who would
be stylish must not scorn at least one

The straight back is godsend td
one who is little round shouldered.
The collar stands away from the
back of the neck and the curve from
the neck to shoulder blades is very
slight. There is no curve from that
point to the bottom.
But the straight-back is not for
everyone and there are plenty of 9TH
er models to choose from. All the
new designs may be said to hang On
the figure rather than to fit it. Among
them the Russian blouse is sure to

When selecting flowers for the din

under the condition of artificial light,
bear in mind that all yellow and blue
flowers appear much paler and rather
dead by artificial light, while white
flowers and the brilliant hued flowers
stand out with more snap. On the
other hand, the soft green foliage ap-

From Paris comes the announce

strongly favored. Old lace, if one is
so fortunate as to possess such
