The lure of the veil Is second only to
the lure Of milady's eye. For motor
use the veil is of thick substantial
chiffon almost too coarse to claim rec
ognition to Its parent stem, and prefer.
ably In taupe, beige or gray, though
some of the darker brown wells are ex.
cellent and the high colors are per.
mlssible for those who like to fleck the
grim winter landscape with n touch of
color. Where the veil Is attached to
the motor cap usually II matches. For
the separate veil the style that is liked
is square-about three and half by
four yards or even longer, and Ia cleft
at one end or both for short ways to
admit of close drallng In helmet effect
about the head and face.
