Under the most favorable conditions veils are trying things to handle, for they never fail to act as though they had been lightly touched by the imp of mischief. When they fall gently down over the face the back spreads out sixty ways for Sunday, and when the back effect is pretty and soft the front flies willy-willy over the face and ruins what otherwise would have been an ex- tremely attractive picture, True, some brides are wearing the veil thrown back from the face, and in that event they may be daintily ar- ranged, but does that convey the senti- mental idea that it has always por- trayed? The veil has stood as a float- jng white symbol of purity and youth and has been used as a covering for the face for generations and generations. If one departs from the idea to that ex- tent, why not dispense with it entirely and save the heartburns and bitter tears of mortification that are the result of hearing such aniiable little®speeches as: “My, I never dreamed she was half as old!

Besides this, she has displayed rare good sense. The trouble is with the women, not the vells. Nearly every daughter Of Fye fondly believes she has the ability to make herself look fit, and nobody dares or care enough about/ her to convince her otherwise. First ore and then another-tells her why she should wear the tulle, but no one tells her why it would be the better scheme to let it strictly alone. And the pity of it is she believes the idle talk and doesn’t take the trouble to find out one way or the other for hefrself. As a vonsequence the veil is more a mantle of charity worn to cover her imperfec- tions than anything else, and the girl who might have been pretty is reduced to the ranks of the commonplace. b e %ritfal a ZZ0N /efl}fl?/~ 57 TEAVEL NG SERES &L 2Z, Veils ou The Wane ?

Both knew what they were about just as surely as does the who selects a snfart tailor and chic hat and stands in the midst of a bevy of fetching attendants all attired in the regulation bridesmaid frock and picture hat So if you, Miladi, are to be a bride, think it over well. Don’t let any one gently talk you into wearing the veil if you are convinced in your ow mind that it adds one day to your age or detracts one whit from your appear- ance. Be honest with yourself and do precisely as you please. If there is to be any buzzing about you and your costume let it be upon your departure from the regulation rule rather than upon the fact that you are fully ten years older than you clatm to be and never had “rauch style, anyhow.” —_— Answers to ' Correspondents J ZAIDEE (Christmas difts).—There are any amount of small gifts that you can make and very reasonably, too. For your small friend fashion what is known as a Dolly Varden doll. She is a rag lady, or really two of them, for she is deuble. One lady is dressed in blue and when her short petticoats are pulled over her head it shows an- other head and arms, and the arms serve alternately as arms and legs, ac- ‘cording to her position. They are elever little dolls, for-one may be a dlack baby dressed in flaming red and the cther a demure Dutch lassie in Hol- land blue. Of course it goes without saying they are most inexpensive and I think you can make the face with little difMiculty. Any girl who is par- ticular about her clothes likes them to exhale a wholesome, sweet odor, so hangers are always nice. Buy a couple or three wooden ones, and, by the way, the cheapest you can get, and some dainty ribbons. A rell of cotton and a small bottle sachet will complete your list. Pad the hanger and supply it liberally with the sweet powder and bind the whole prettily and neatly, top- ping it with a loop of ribbon ending in a bow to hang it up by. Of coutse it 4s simple, but it is both usefui and fragrant and one cannot possibly have too many of them. Now take the odds and ends of the and fashion three or four sma t bags. Buy a few yards of sa h ribbon and the bags n the ends and @ safety pin in the top so that it may be securely fastened on. This little skirt pad over the petticoat sends out its fragrance and on the whole is a satisfyi little remem- brarce. Handkeérchiefs are always ni and always acceptable and you cen make them for almost nothing. y a yard-wide linen, say at $1 or yard d draw your threads hief will be twelve astitch it and then £ that pleases your ur pocketboe A at 5 cents a yard, put on any y and suits pretty footing com and three yards is ample. Again an other footing with a dainty edge comes at 6 and 7 cents and you can get any quantity of lace at 10 and 12% cents a yard. To vary them use footing, thin lace and perhaps one with insertion and lace. Get 100 linen thread and it will be both strong and almest in ible. Dainty little aprons and hand- kerchief kimonas are nice and service- able, too, and do not cost more than a few pennies. For instance, buy a dim- ity at two yards for a quarter and make a sewing apron of it. After a short apron is fashioned put on a piece, about a third the length of the apron itself, and divide that into three dis- tinet compartments. Featherstitch the divisions and across the top for it dhakes a neater finish. Put on dimity strings or ribbon, just as you like, but the lawn washes better and is not half the trouble or annoyance. This is only appropriate for the girl whd sews or does needle work, for another would have the pockets filled to running over with useless trash or else going to waste. If you want anything that costs mcre money I can tell you of any num- ber of pretty gifts and will be glad to do so. o
