The Art of Choosing IA Good Looking Veil.
Want to go to a studio tea next
Tuesday," asked Amy over the
phone. / accepted. and we planned
to meet at the Waldorf at o'clock
Last winter Amy went about a
great deal with q young artist who
has a studio near Washington square
the rendezvous for many of the
sculptors, artists and writer's Of New
York. l had understood from the
girls that there had been misunder-
standing between the couple, but evil
IDENTIFY things had been patched up
again, or else he would not have ar
ranged to have US to tea.
His pictures are inexcusable," said
Alice, who rarely says such things Of
anyone even if they are true.
"Well, you know before the tea is
over other artists will drop in and
invite us to look in at their abodes.
so by the time we have been around
TO eight or ten we may have had u
chance to see some interesting work"
| replied.
And those barnlilxe studios are
attractive" added Alice with their
bits of tapestry and queer foreign
vases hung over the walls. cheerful
log wood fires, and the smell of paints
and oils all around one.'
ITO say nothing" / said, "of
sketches everywhere-under ones
feet, tackled to the arms of the chairs,
and even looking down from the cell
ing"
"And We did meet wonderful
~ interesting people down there last
fall" interposed Alice. Remember
we met those pretty actresses-one
of them had starred in London, and
she wore such fascinating clothes.
Then there was the author of those
popular novels about woman's suf-
frago who came in with the woman
who sculptured-guess chiselled is
the word-the new fountain in the
park"
Eyes, and there were some very
smart society women there. We
must look very nice for we can never
tell who will drift in to such a tea"
"A street suit and simple hat is
the only correct thing to wear unless
said Alice. "Then everyone wears a
handsome afternoon gown, and it
takes on the nature of reception,
whether anyone happens to see the
pictures or not"
ST bought my shopping suit early
this fall" I said, wondering what I
should do, land Ii has seen good
wear. 1t won't be received in a polite
gathering unless I buy some smart
accessories to wear with it. A collar
and vest of velvet. with an inner col
lar OF lace, would improve my coat.
My hat will look better with q hobby
little veil"
"Do you suppose those short,
bobby wells are going to be worn
again this winter" asked Alice.
Yes. they will be worn with the
small hats, my milliner says Ex-
tremely long, straight hanging wells
will be the correct thing with the wide
bobby veil which had an edge woven
so closely that it looked as II black
ribbon bound the net. Another had
an aIl-over flower pattern woven in a
diamond mesh, but I didn't like the
shadows it cast over my face, or the
difficulty l had In seeing through the
design"
You know Cousin Bertha has lust
gone into mourning said Alice. "She
always wears the correct thing, and
when her milliner showed her a black
veil edged in crepe which reached to
her waist she bought one as part OF
her outfit"
terday,'' said. eft was short, Just
touching my upper lip. The lines of
the design ran up from the hem, MAX
ing the lower part OF the veil dark
and the upper light. 1t makes ones
eyes look splendid. and I think a veil
that answers both fashion and beauty
requirements Is find"
