VEIL NOVELTIES.

This season is not without it's veil novelties. They include an apron or panel veil and the handkerchief veil whose respective titles are descriptive of their shapes.
 The apron veil measures about one and a quarter yards in length and it is wide enough to reach almost round the brim of the hat of average size. How ever, it is intended to stop short Q little bit back of the shoulders, so that the veil will hang straight and not as sume the lines of the ordinary hat ac- cessCry.
 The handkerchief CT square veil may be used in various ways. It can be thrown over the hat to cover the crown and to allow the four corners to grace fully arrange themselves over the face and the back Of the head. Or this veil may be sed as hat trimming with q heavy edge at the top and the lighter one serving to cover the face and part of the shoulders
 By way of color choice there are veils Of black of dark blue, of beiee and of gray: and sometimes these show the embro!deries done in con <trasting color although. on the whole the decoration is of the same tone as the veil itself. It is likely that the White veil will again come into it's own as logical accessory of the summer hat, and the veil of purely decorative quality may give way later to the chiffon variety whose mission is ore of ErotectiOn.

FOR VIRGINIA SOLDIERS.
Books and Magazines are Wanted for
Their Use in the CantOnment at
poforcburn


Their Use in the CantOnment at
Petersburg.
The American Library Associa-
tion is, at the request Of the United
States government, collecting books
and current magazines for the use
of our soldiers and sailors in the
camps, at the front, and in the hos
pitfalls. In Virginia, the Virginia State
Library is acting as the agent of
the Association in doing this work
Many books have already been col
ected in Richmond and other cities
of the State, and very great many
more will come in from those
sources. 1t is felt, however, that the
people of the State who do not live
in cities would like to have an op-
portunity to participate in the good
work, and there is no likelihood that
too much literature can be assem-
bled fer the purpose set forth. Later
on, the Association hopes to be able
to secure from the people Of the
whole country as much as Sl.oOO,0O0
with which to erect library build
ings at the camps and buy the very
best books to put in them, but at
present the books themselves are oe-
ing given. So far as Virginia IS con-
cerned, they are being sent princf-
pally to Camp Lee (near Petershurg)
to be cared for temporarily by the
Y. NJ. C. A. 1t is hoped that su'h
persons reading this notice as may
wish to give books or magazines viii
send them in at once. Magazines
should not be over six months OLD.
ANY good readable book Of gcnc"ai
interest-whose binding is in good
condition-wil be suitable.
Each person who reads this notice
should feel that an opportunity $
presented him to show his apprecia-
ton of the sacrifices being made by
our young men in the cause of ali.
The books and magazines may be
sent very cheaply by parcel post.
They should be directed to the VIZ
ginia State Library, Richmond. Va

Pope Benedict that the German people
want no gain from the war. but only

success of German arms
'The fall of Riga" the Vorwaerts
declared, may be expected to de-
stroy the belief apparently held by
the enterte powers that Germany's
peace wishes are to be considered
as token of weakness"
1t was the Vorwaerts which re-
Gently voiced the belief that it

chapters in many cities have complet-
ed their preparations to serve light

The Red Cross will cooperate in
every way possible with the War

plans for feeding the men en- route.
In many places the chapters have
actually been doing this during the
