But You Have to Buy a Toque.

A very new fad that has not yet
reached this city is the little masque
veil, which is very much the rage, so
they say, in many places, says the
society editor in the independence Re-
porter. The wells are made of lace or
maline, with plain or scalloped edge,
but the feature lies in the method of
wearing it. The edge of the veil is
allowed to just cover the tip of the
nose. giving the effect of a sheer
masque that adds a touch of mystery
and Orientallsm to the eyes that is
very fetching. Of course the veil is
suitable to be worn only with the new
toques that are so pretty this autumn
