The small hat lends itself specially to the vel. Those being worn this
fall are bordered ir designs rather than in straight borders

LLIHILE it is. Of course, quite proper
w to wear a veil at any time OF the
year. It always seems as though in the
fall and in the spring of the year a
veil Is an absolute necessity. Usually
the first hats to be shown by the mill
liners in the fall are small ones. and a
veil does look we'll on a small bat. In
fact I have never liked a veil on a
large hat. In the first place, one seldom
sees a veil attached to a large hat, so
that It looks neat, and it is little wonder
that this Is seldom found, when we all
know the struggle 1t Is to attempt TO get
a veil around a large hat, especially
when the Lrim Is at all irregular IN
shape. To me the small hat with a good
looking veil neatly n attractiVely
caught at the back of the head. is one
OF III. greatest assets any woman can
add to her outfit. I've seen many an
almost homely woman look stunning be-
cause she was wise enough to know
the value OF the small hat and the trim
veil.
The wells with the band across the
chin are still worn quite a good DEAL
but there are newer ones.
Many of the veils do. in a way. carry
out the band effect. but the pattern Is
handled so cleverly that 1t is necessary
to look twice to be sure that the veil
has a border. For instance. the veil
at the left OF the circle in today's sketch
Is a bordered design. carried out with
squares on a square mesh. Speaking
Of borders reminds me of a veil | saw

You've got to stop somewhere IN

Liberty bonds giving. Who wouiu
call putting money out in gilt-edge

giving? Yes, Of course, there are
other things we planned to do WIFI

weigh these matters to let our minus
travel to the boy Of nineteen, whose
dreams and the things he 10
do lie buried--forever. Oh. now can
we speak of plans postponed when a
thousand crosses flash in the sunlight
of France and fling defiance IN the
face of such earthly things.
WE MUST make room for the

We are asked to buy bonds in the
same cause for which the boys died.
We cannot let it be said they have
given their lives for that cause TO
which we will not even lend our
money out with interest.
If our salaries were cut down we
would find a way TO go on living. Let
us deliberately cut them down when
there seems no way to ind more
money TO invest.
One $50 bond will protect 1000 SOL

typhoid. 1t will keep 1879 wounded
soldiers from lockjaw. 1t will render

enough Of %bandages for 555 wounds.
Buy bonds in the name of the dead
that they shall not have died in vain,
in the name of the living that they
may keep on living. And remember
no war was ever won through over
confidence. Victory will come but
only through the mighty and con-
tinued support of the people. In spite
of all Of our successes we have a long
road to travel.
