An Expert Tells How TO
Manage This Accessory.

Most of us when we pick out a veil
choose That we have admired on
some one else or the mesh most becom-
ing In the saleswoman as she holds 1t
up, regardless of whether 1t suits US.
and let it go at that
Some women wear the prevailing
mesh of the m without a thought
as to its becomingness," says a veil ex-
pert. Take the square or fllet mesh
recently worn Despite its popularity,
there was never a mesh that accentu-
ates wrinkles as it does. 1t gives most
faces a hard line that makes MANY wo-
men look older than they really are.
"On the other hand. the commonplace
hexaeon in a large. fine mesh Is per
haps the most youthful of all Despite
its cheapness, many well dressed WON
en- find 1t so becoming and satisfactory
that they rarely wear anything else.
Most women ean wear u wide range
OF veilings, however, provided they
keep a few general hints in mind. For
instance, the woman with a long, slen-
oSA h0St vi sddipiy OSLuGA icdtuitS
should avoid heavy meshes or large de
signs OR lines, for they accentuate the
features Simple thin meshes with
small figures or designs have a soften
ing effect that she will find far more
becoming.

with a full round face can generally

"1n putting ON a veil with large
sprawiy figures In the design care
should be taken in placing them ON the
face. In spite of the chic which such a
veil can give to a commonplace hat
nothing is more disfguring than de-
signs SO placed across the features that
they look like facial blemishes. Keep
the figures IS far away as possible
from the eyes and if possible away
from the corners of the mouth.
"In picking III a veil to put on the
hat take it by the corners and after
shaking it to straighten it u place it
against the face on the hat. Most peo-
pie then draw the veil back snugly and
tie it ON the hat before pinning the
lower edges in place behind the ears.
"The way recommend is to hold the
veil over the hat as described before
the mirror and then as the first step
after getting the veil the correct length
at the chin, lightly pinning at the top
In the center of the brim. Then pin the
lower edge snugly behind the ears with
a small invisible hairpin before even
gathering the ends together to tie the
knot In this way you have the face
section perfectly adjusted before the
/ pull or strain of tying it In the back.
Being already held in place, lightly
tying the veil does not affect 1t, and
then, too, it eliminates that unsightly
pulled effect over the nose and eyes.
"Veils should never be rolled, despite
the embroidered holders that come for
that purpose Keep them fat, with as
few creases az possible. Never rumple
into tight little pinned wads, as I have
lei otherwise fastidtous women do.
ITO wash a veil use lukewarm wa.
ter and a small amount of CASTLE soap.
Lightly swish it about the soapy water
and rinse several times in lukewarm
water. Squeeze with great care and
lay out fiat to dry, pinned In shape like
