Veils Now Often Discarded.

Veils are very much less worn than they used to be in past seasons. They are less easy to wear with very small hats, for the simple reason that they may easily touch the eyes or at least the eyelashes; but, since the extremely small hat is specially reserved for the very young woman, she may well permit herself to meet the full glare of daylight *in the street without any softening veil. Besides this, some hygienic people pretend that the veil is harmful both to the complexion and the sight, and, while it is also true that the contrary opinion is held, the devotee of fashion will follow her own personal opinion without bothering her bead about any other.—Paris Edtjlon «t New York Herald.
