LATEST FASHIONS In Wells
Face Coverings That Are Thrown Back
Are Popular; Fancy Meshes
for Fall Wear.

Outing wells that are worn thrown
back from the face are at the height
Of their glory. It is notable that
while brilliant colors are shown there
are many more of the beige tones eX-
plotted and worn. 1t is not in the
heavy mesh that these wells are seen,
but women seem to prefer the light
er mesh that does not give the effect
of a Shetland.
Fancy meshes are forerunners of the
wells which will soon be shown in the
shops for autumn-all of the novel
weaves used in combination. Some
of these meshes are already on view,
these combination meshes that were
brought out last autumn and which
have lasted through the winter and
spring still will be good for the next
season.
These are the striped effects in
combination meshes, the filet used
with the hexagon or octagon, or per-
haps not in the allover stripping, but in
the border pattern of mesh combina-
ton.

Fine Points in Fitting Hats.

The fancy for placing the trimming
of the brim, and leaving the lines of
the crown perfectly plain, makes it
necessary to make sure that these
lines suit the shape of the head, for
they are not disguised in any way.
Too small a crown will make the face
the size will give 'top-heavy" look
which is strictly TO be avoided. These
are the fine points of millinery which
are so well understood by the modiste
of reputation, who insists on almost as
many fittings as her sister, the dress
maker.
