LIKE THE VEIL A LA TURCoUE
Novel Face Covering, With Its Air Of
Mystery, Has Won Favor Of
Gay Parlslennes.

The fashion for wearing wells that
completely hide the lower part of the
face and leave only the eyes visible
has already been mentioned, but more
with the idea Of a curious novelty that
was not likely long to be popular, or
only with the very few; but strange
ly enough, It has pleased the fancy
Of the gay Parisienne, the mysterious
effect 1t gives to the uncommon.
Therefore the veil la Turcque is to
be seen in a great variety Of different
makes.
Tulle that is plain about the eyes
and thickly spotted below, fine nets
with wide lace borders, or the broad
meshed Russian tulle, with silk
threads interviewer to give the yash-
max effect, are chosen. Bizarre and
quaint as this fashion may be, it GER
tainly lends a distinct charm to the
features and arouses In the beholdeT
a continual speculation as to the beau
ty of the thus veiled ladies', whose
eyes only can be discerned.

SUSPENDER BLOUSE TO STAY
No Reason for Anything but Rejoicing
That This Pretty style ls Not to
Be Done Away With.

The suspender blouse! 1t has a
rustic sound which is not borne out
at all by the facts of the case. The
fact Of it is that the suspender seems
bound to pry into all our garments
this year. 1t appears on coats and
capes and 1t has been used artfuDy
in many smart gowns,
Blouses in which the effect Is pro-
vided show colored ribbons brought
down under the Byron or sailor collar
until they meet the wide girdle, which
is Of the same color Of silk or rib
bon. One very charming example oc'
CURED In a blouse Of lavender chif'
fon with straps and girdle Of black
taffeta. Sometimes the straps do not
go under any collar at all, but are
placed about the neck without fitting.
In this event the silk is given the far
away, outstanding look Of one Of thu
most popular collars Of the year.

Afternoon Gown.

Charmeuse in lovely rose-pinA
color is the silk used for a fetching
gown to wear at afternoon bridge
games, the dansants and receptions
teas.
The bodice is built on the ne% drop
shoulder line with fresh white null
vest and loose turnover collar Of same

cut neck. The skirt crosses at the
side front in a graceful drapery ant
at the back and sides tunic appears
made of embroidered chiffon in the
same shade as the gown.
A very wide glrdle Of charmeuse Is
ornamented with a single long gold
tassel, as is the tunic at the Lowest

see that the river gained in depth
and serenity-in poise, so to speak
as 1t neared this great crisis Of its
course, which involved rocks and

million rainbows.
Our first view of the canyon itself
was marred as an impression, because
it was taken in company with coach

Looking up the gorge from Inspira

400 feet of frothy white, viewed
through a dazzle Of prismatic lights
Down the gorge there were green
peaks covered with pines, and beyond
them one tall mountain wrapped in
deep violet mist. Below the wall, up
on the rim Of which we were frailly
perched, tall needles Of rock thrust
UP their points, colored like the gar

two OF the pinnacles the ospreys hat
