PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Vells.
RICHARD PAULSON of Boon Hills Langwith, Mansfield in the County of
Nottinghan, Inventor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to so combine the colours, or shades, in this
improved veil that it will when worn, simulate, or impart to the countenance the
appearance of a healthy or ruddy glow, and it is so arranged that this heightened
colour is principally imparted to the cheeks and not to the whole of the countenance
or complexion.
In carrying this out, the veil may be made of any suitable material, or substance,
silk for preference, but with that part that is intended to be worn over the checks,
made of a deeper tint, flesh-colour, or shade, the other portions of the veil may be
made of the same tint but much lighter in shade or it may be made of an entirely
different colour and the flesh tints confined to the portions required only.
Or this improved veil may be made of two or more substances, or shades, and
the required flesh tints be made by working into the material, or attaching thereto,
a material of a different colour shade or texture.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Veils.
I RICHARD PAULSON of Boon Hills, Langwith, Mansfield, in the County of
Nottingham, Engineer and Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to so construct these improved veils, that they
impart to the face of the wearer a greatly improved appearance as of a healthy
bloom or heightened colour and which is confined principally to the checks.
These veils are made of any suitable colour, or material, such as lace, silk net,
or other substance, and the upper or lower edges may be braided or otherwise
stiffened as heretofore, they thus remain in the required position when worn.
The improvements consist of dyeing or otherwise colouring those parts that come
over the centre of the checks, of a flesh, rose or other suitable tint, the veil being
of a lighter shade or of a different colour.
I also obtain the desired effect by weaving or making the veil double, of two
colours or materials, the rose or flesh tints being on the underside preferably,
deeper over the cheeks and gradually shaded off, so that when worn, this flesh or
rose tint appears like a natural or healthy bloom or colour on the cheeks of the
wearer.
Fig. 1. shows a drawing of the veil as worn.
A is the braiding or stiffening round the edge to help to hold the veil steadily
in position.
B. is the rose or flesh tint over the cheek, being deeper in tint in the middle
preferably and gradually shaded off towards the edges, thus giving a more natural
appearance and effect.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1st. A veil substantially as herein described.
2nd. The construction and arrangement of the flesh tints or colours in a veil, so
that when worn they give to the wearer's checks the appearance of a blush or
heightened colour.
3rd. A veil in which the flesh tints are deepened and designed so as to cover the
checks only.
4th. The weaving or construction of a veil of one or more materials and so that
the flesh tints are arranged to appear on one side only.
5th. A veil in which the rose or flesh tints are arranged so as to appear deeper
over the checks than elsewhere.
