Mercury is in benefic aspect today,
while Uranus is adverse, according to
astrology,
The sign is read as promising for pub
fishers and editors, who will find them
selves able to hold their own against
a~ntagonistic minds made aggressive by
the evil power Of Uranus.
1t is a day promising to writer's, es-

productions.
Music comes under a planetary gov

Saturn is mildly helpful today, but

Uranus also is held responsible for

Congress comes under an aspect that

There Is something very alluring
about wells. They are among the be-
l0nglngs Of women, that are peculiar
ly their own; mere man having no
share In this kind of apparel. The
wedding veil Is vision that girlhood
cherishes and thrills over. Wells are
significant and charming-and have in
most cases no other season for exist
ence. But they contribute to neat
ness, II one must be practical, and
they are often very flatterlng. 1t is
the element Of style in them, with be-
comingness, that makes them dear to
the hearts of women and provides us
with ever-changing weaves and pat
terms to choose from.
Some modlstes have featured wells
as an essential part OF the trimming
Of hats, In their displays of fall mil
linery. The all-Over lace patterns ap-
pear to have given place to mesh wells
with borders, these borders being often
In a lace pattern or having floral de-
sign applied to the mesh. Wells fall
about the face and head from small
and medlum-sized hats in ways that
seem casual but are not. They are
sometimes draped with the border
about the hat and the plain edge hang
ing down, but thic Is exceptional (;
nearly always the plain edge is placed
about the shape and the border de-
fines the bottom Of the veil.
Among the very elegant wells used
on dressy hats those of chantilly lace
are conspicuous. The mesh Is fine in
these. and the border floral pattern

above scalloped edge usually. Black
and taupe gray are the favored colors
for wells. either color proving practi-
cal for the street and becoming to the
wearer. There Is Il great variety Of
shapes In meshes-square, diamond
shaped, heyagonal and oblong, with
all sorts of incOnspicuOus crossbars
and figures to add interest to them.
Street wells have light woven-in bor-
ders and they are worn either hanging
free or fastened about the neck, after
the manner of the three wells shown
in the picture.
Wells should be tried on and Sc
lected for becomingness, as hat shapes
are. Some meshcs make the face look
more youthful and others seem to re.
veal wrinkles. For clearing up the
skin and bringing out color dark blue,
sapphire, and national blue are all eff
fective. Taupe and black find more
admirers than any other colors.
There are some small face wells only
large enough to extend from hat brlm
to chin, and they are made to be
pinned or to be slipped on and held
in place with small, round elastic cord.
The floating wells shown Mt the right
and bottom of the group are knotted
in at the back sometimes as in the
hat shown ut the upper left side.
These are popular styles, soft, becom.
ing, and desirable.
