THE NEWEST VEIL.

The importance of being veiled correctly is a subject asking our immediate attention. For the choice here is amazing, and varies from a very flimsy Russian net to an elaborate black and white chenille patterning of grapes on a contrasting ground. To wear the last named it is necessary to have features beyond reproach, only beauty supreme and undeniable can hope to do battle with such unconscionable designs — unconscionable since they break across the features, dividing the bridge of a nose, the curves of the lips., regardless of all sightliness and symmetry. A very new veiling of more moderate order is a fine black tulle, dotted at fairly wide intervals with black velvet 6pots raised in high relief on a white spot, while there is a very plethora of selection in Russian nets of spider-web proclivities, A fine black and white Russian net carrying a border of navy blue gauze is accounted a- novelty, and a navy blue chenille-spotted net is also much worn, together with a plain net, the latter usually arranged with ends for tying under the chin. Perhaps, however, the most striking departure js found in the new cream Brussels applique and 1 Limerick lace veils, which are really bewitching and of quite original design. They are altogether handsomer and more important in appearance than their predecessors, and look particularly well " worn with the large flat hat of the moment, and, moreover, by those who can stand the line, loose about the edge, though in relating vof this adjustment I must plead a little previous knowledge, Afc the same time, I have met the fancy, and on the right people, which is everything in these days of ready assimilation. White gauze veiled with five chenille-spotted Russian net is giving way before a white net similarly covered, and which is equally becoming, apd a most helpful protection to the ravages wrought by either sun, wind, or the like, de; '.stating influences. For motoring, the Limerick veil is woven with long ends for tying beneath the chin. But the veil of latter-day fashioning is a thing of infinitely more value than it w?s a year ago.-*-I<adies' Field.
