Placing the Veil.

There are four distinct ways to wear
your veil this autumn. with the small
turbans IL is worn masklike across the
upper part Of the face, stopping Just
under the nose. This style is the
bobby veil" Another veil, the chin
mouth and chin. These two are the
seasons novelties and are not SO wide
as the ordinary wells. The face veil.
OF course. Is well known and depends
on its mesh and details for novelty.
The drape veil falls from the hat brim
about the shoulders and Is worn most
ly over large hats.
In the bobby veil the filet mesh Is
considered the smartest. One OF the
newest has a border OF little squares
filled IT, with the veil silk. This border
comes also in gold or silver. Another
filet veil has border with a lower
edge that resembles a velvet band. Still
another filet veil has besides the border
these little squares dotted in threes
over the veil surface.
A very novel veil is the "salaman-
der" made of the pretty. uneven
craquele net. One large ramAge figure
Is arranged on this veil so that it al
most covers one cheek. This design, a
large spray OF leaves and flowers. is
so arranged that the design encircles
the eye without covering II. These sal
amander wells are wide ones that can
hang to the shoulders or be drawn up
under the chin.
Il The bobby nose and chin wells are
not so wide as the regular wells and
always have borders, even in the most
inexpensive qualities. The Florine veil
IL an extremely fine net rather on the
craquele order and can replace the tne
plain nsaline veil on that account.
Wells today are of textures that viii
stand careful washing. A veil OF good
quality is made OF finest Italian silk
and can be rolled so small that II can
in some cases be tucked into the palm
of the glove, and because of the kind
of silk used does not crumple.
For automobiling there are the stunning
barege wells that are wound about the
head like a turban and replace a hat.
They are often made up into hoodlike
snaps with long wide ends that can be
wound around in the same way and are
more easily adjusted. The beauty Of these
wells is that they are thin enough to go
over the face and thick enough to pro-
tect the hair and yet allow for venti-
| lation.
The drape wells are very much like
those that have been worn this summer,
hexagonal mesh with ramage embroider-
ed figures growing up from a narrow
border.
A few words of warning as to wash
ing a veil correctly. AS a rule. onIy
J the very light and white colors are wash
| ed, but many women. knowing how
quickly dust settles, make a practice
Of washing all wells. First be sure thar
the basin is very clean. Use lukewarn
| water and q small amount Of CASTLE ol
other fine soap. Don't rub the veil, but
swish It around in the soapy water; the
| action Of the soap and water viii
thoroughly clean It. Rinse and squeeze
out the last rinsing by q simple pressurc
i Of the hands. Do not wiring the veil and
do not squeeze II too hard. Lay II out
fiat on a towel to dry. II the darker
colors are not washed they should b
| shaken each time they are worn and
4 brushed with a velvet brush.
To adjust a veil on the hat becoming
" take the veil by the upper corners anc
place It against the face, watching tht
effect in the mirror, SO that the spots
| IL there are any, will not come in ans
grotesque position. as on the tip OF the
| nose, the corners of the mouth OF ovei
the eye.
Then draw back the veil snugly. Mt
| ting il to the head by the way that thC
back edges are drawn up. Tie II In q
tight knot.
