VARIETY IN SPRING Wells
Many Interesting Face Coverings Are
Now Being Shown for the
Season at Hand.

In the lineup of spring accessories
and for the season at hand many
interesting novelties are shown. The
long, narrow scarf or panel veil is one
of the chic bits of face covering, and
it may be worn in ever so many ways.
This scarf veil is frequently drap-
ed across the hat and allowed to fall
over the shoulders, giving a soft, be-
coming framing TO the face. Or may
be draped over the hat and drawn
back TO be tied under or across the
hair. The ends are finished with
novelty borders Of one sort Or another.
Fringe is a rot unusual trimming.
The larger wells are frequently finished
with cord or ribbon fringe.
Among the new wells may be men
toned the large square one with a
fine mesh section woven into one side,
this section forming a tight face veil,
while the veil proper with its more
heroic pattern Grapes the hat and
shoulders.
