THE VEILED WAY.

In the post-war years when femininity in dress was not considered fashionable, the veil lost favour and woman lost a valuable asset. The fact that a gril always looks her best in bridal array proves that a veil covering the face, or thrown, back, is most flattering to the features, says an observer. Now, when again tho feminine touch is sought in gowns and accessories, there is scarcely a little hat which does not have a wisp of veiling attached to it somewhere. The Duchess of Kent has gone so far hack as ot wear a veil drawn under her chin and tied in a bunch behind her hat exactly as our mothers .did when we were very young. New ! Zealand women, however, have com- | promised with the past and rarely 1 veil more than their eyes and the tips of their noses. Many of winter’s veils merely hang from the peak of a pointed hat, to the back .of the shoulders, and although the face is completely uncovered, the folds of net make a frame that enhances its good points or softens those not so attractive.
