A Dainty Corset Cover
- HE autumn blouse of chiffon o

- HE autumn blouse of chiffon or
georgette crepe in dark color de-
- mands special corset-cover and
very good one for this purpose comes
with silk petticoat to match. The
petticoat, of taffeta or soiree silk in
dark or neutral color, is the usual flare
model with a distending hoop of
featherbone tubing or several slightly
gathered ruffles, each covering a strip
of stiffening. The later method gives
O. very graceful flare without a bulky
effect. The corset cover is made of
the silk also. cut in two deep points
which run up from the waistband over
q square yoke of shadow lace, or if
one prefers, flesh colored chiffon. Thus
the blouse seems to be lined with silk
below the bustline while the sheer
fabric covers shoulders and neck. The
smartness of this corset-cover depends
on the line where silk and sheer fabric
meet. The more pointed the cut Of
the lower, or silk. portion the more
graceful will be the effect; and by the
way. the points run upward. over the
chiffon or lace. toward the center
not downward In V effect.

and very becoming one. too.
The French complexion veilings
are charmingly fattering to the face
but they are trif1e expensive. The
yelling is in two layers, outside the
fine dotted or hand-run mesh pattern,
and inside layer Of almost invisible
flesh tinted tulle. Cream and bisque
tinted wells are very fashionable just
now. but not every woman can wear
them. A circular veil of biscuit coll
ored mesh with border design in bis
cult and old blue has just come from
Paris. Another French veil in cream
hexagonal mesh has an allover floral
pattern in white, outlined with brown.
Still another Paris veil is Of gray filet
mesh with an allover design in darker
gray and blue dots outlined in white.
Wells are used now not only as an
accessory to the hat but as an integral
part thereof. Crown band wells are
attached to ribbon or brocade strips
which At around sailor hats so that
the veil may be adjusted very easily.

A French veil Of this type, in gray
hexagon mesh Is attached to band
of blue Servian embroidery, and
border of this embroidery edges the
veil. Dark brown and mahogany brown
wells are exceedingly fashionable and
1t is surprising how much more be-
coming brown veil Is to the average
woman. than a black one. The ma
hogany shade in yelling matches the
smart tabasco color which is the smart
thing now In buttoned boots. Tabasco
boots of glazed kid have tops Of tan
or cream shade; or cloth tops in har-
monizing tone.
Almost any woman could wear a
veil under the chin and swathed about
the neck. One very smart veil Is of
taupe mesh in an allover, or ramage,
pattern. At the top it is fastened to
a crown-band of velvet matching the
hat--a moderately large sailor shape
with low. gathered crown, The lower
edge is shrired to collarette Of vel
vet which fastens at the back and the
veil drapes over the hatbrim and face
in graceful manner. An important
item in the general smartness of eff
feet is the downward curve of the hat
brim at the back. Over q stiff
brimmed sailor this veil would not be
half so graceful.

Facts About Ferns

- ERNS are always favored by the
maker of the window garden, as
their finely cut leaves can be
massed in places where the more state
ly plants could not be used. The dell
cate and feathery maindenhair fern is
always beautiful. but often withers
and dies from the dry heat and the
coal gas fumes of our homes.
The Boston ferns, sword ferns,
spider ferns and holly ferns require
less care and will. therefore, appeal
more readily to the housewife. The
holly fern is especially pretty on ac-
count of it's dark glossy green foliage,
which is also thick and feathery. The
upper side of the fronds is dark green.
while underneath they are lighter and
heavily studded with brown spores.
The common Boston fern Is inclined
to grow to an immense size, and, con-
sequently. Is not very satisfactory for
the window garden. but is very pretty
when used individually, in a large Jar
diniere set upon a stand
The Boston ferns are also known as
sword ferns. of which there are sew
orai varieties. the most valuable be-
