II the bride IL one of those who
likes to be conservative In the styles
selected for her gown and veil she
may wear the veil as shown in the
picture The wreath is arranged In
the fLshion of corOnet and the veil
envelops the figure. Other styles
may come and go. but this one goes
on forever. Perhaps that Is because
the wreath suggests a crown and be-
cause the arrangement Of 1t is almost
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
something new suits her personality
better. or Is better suited to the sort
Of wedding she elects to have, there
are many piquant and novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. In nearly
GIL of them little caps of lace support
tine tulle, but there are caps of tulle,
caps of pearl beads. or even hats Of
tulle. from which the veil, always am
ple, floats about the figure. One Of
the prettiest drapes has n little close
fitting cap Of fine lace like a Baby
stuart" cap. The veil is draped over
this 80 that short length Of 1t falls
,ver the face barely reaching to the
chin. It Is caught to the lace cap at
Zach side by small sprays OF orange
blossoms and there is slender half
wreath Of them brought from one side
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1916-07-14

to the other across the back. The
long veil at the back falls from this
wreath to the end of the train.
Another drape which brides of this
summer favor employs n band about
the brows and head as support for
the veil. This band may be Of white
satin or of cloth-of-silver or of some
small blossom set close and fiat to it.
The veil Is laid In close high plaits
extending across the back from tenn
pie to temple. They are graduated In
height so that they are tallest at the
center of the back. The very short
veil over the face is the newest Of
all. with its supporting cap of lace.
But whatever style the bride may Sc
Iect after experimenting with several,
she has the comforting assurance that
nothing else In the world is quite Sc
becoming as wedding veil.

same material. The cuffs are notice
ably smaller than those on coats of
the current season, and the raglan
sleeves promise continuance of the
vogue for them which has been so
useful to designers. 1t has helped
them in getting the required flare, in
making variety in models, and assures
easy adjustment in the garment.
The coat pictured is of kind that
will prove useful to the motorist and
serve for almost any wear. If one
must choose at this between-seasons
time 1t is a model worth copying. In
fact such a coat may be relied upon

learn something about it by reading

Drinking Postum is pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
my wife was victim Of nervous

petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
"We knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as il by
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou-
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
