The goggles are cus. ningly contrived as a part of the veil, to which they are sewed, and goggles and veil must be bought together. Some of the automobile vells are made of chiffon and some of sewing silk, but the majority of them show either a large embroidered or velvet dot. Over this, if the up-to-date woman AU Toro3iLE Veir AHeLD TIGHTLY OVER \ HAT Kr1Trn DRAW S TRINGS TOF ANPgorrory utoneer’” would be quite fashinable, one of the pew Du ry scarf or drape veils should ‘be worn. They are very much of a fad just now, and come in lengths of from two to two and one-half yards long. They are made of dotted net, with a boz der, generally ack Chantiily lace. They look exceptionally well draped ozer a bat, an for this reason they have become facé vells in name only. Indeed, they _have come to be used exclusively for hat drapes. The newest and prettiest of these veils is of black or cream mousseline, with a silk embroidered border. The veil is draped in folds about the crown of the hat, with the embroidered edge drooping over the brim, while the ends are allowed te hang loosely over the hair at the back of the head as a drapery.

Rich men everywhere are giving up their noted stables of ped greed thoroughbreds to acquire a string of racing machines instead, and with the King of England, the Emperor of Ger- many, the Czar of Russia and the Shah of Persia all abandoning the noble charger for the automobile at ‘the recent army maneuvers, it may be reasonably expected that the cavalry troops will soon go into battle mounted on swift-flylng “autos”” and the artillery go rattling into position with their guns carried on the [atest approved motor carriages. Indeed, it Is not too much to expect that the coach of state at the coronation ceremo- nies of the future ill be an automobile of toc many rugs. They have a tendency drop at one’s feet and may hinder the free use of the foot levers and the brakes at a critical moment, and thus result In_serious accident. Then for the man top boots into which the trouser legs may be snugly tucked or legther leggins in particularly cold weather will be found comfortable and convenient. These are only a few of the new fashion fads. They are multiplying so fast that a complete revolution of the whole cos- tume may take place before another sea- son goe JVJV[W of regal cumbersomeness, with the gaudy Uror trappings of a Roman chariot. o821 And, surest sign of the popularizing of Vieir ano the new invention, automobiles are now Cap made in all sizes fo suit the age of chil- dren from 6 to 16 years old. George J. Gould, the famous multi-millionaire, has six children, and with the exception of the baby, which Is only 2 or 3 yeers old, each of them has an automobile suited in eize and speed to his age. For instance, there is little George J. Gould Jr., who is the life and soul of Georgean Court, the Gfi)ulld summer resi- " L dence in New Jersey.
