WEDDING VEIL IS IN FAVOR

Various Attempts From Time to Time to Banish or Supersede It Have Failed. From time to time attempts are made to banish or supersede the wedding veil; but, in spite of all objections, it still persists tn the favor of the bride, who is apt to be sentimental rather than reasonable. The way of wearing it, however, has peen largely changed; many brides now wear the veil as a sort of cap, not falling over the face at all, but fastened back with a circlet of flowers. In front it reaches only to the knees, but in back to well below the ankles. Tulle, except for those who have rare and beautiful old lace, is succeeding lace in favor; perhaps because there is no danger of having part of the design ornament one’s nose or eye! AlofTtuHevettrprdperly draped, fastened by invisible pearl-headed pins and falling over a coronet of jewels or of blossoms, is as pretty a sight as any wedding guest could hope to see.

Dress Trimming. A charming Paris model for an afternoon gown was seen recently, which depended for its adornment entirely upon a sort of fagoting of self-mate-rial. The gown was a light fawncolored challis, and on tunic, underskirt and girdle and down the front P of the blouse the material was slashed and reconnected by crossed intersections of the challis, rolled tight into tubular pieces and sewed to straight bands so as to give the appearance of fagoting, or of catstitch. T-fae same effect has been seen in silk and It is Pretty on a rather ♦hick material, though not suited to fabrics very thin or delicate in appearance \
