DRAPING MOTOR VEIL

AUTO NECESSITY HAS BEEN MADE A THING OF BEAUTY. Charm Is All In the Manner In Which the Chiffon Is Adjusted, and Femininity Has Made the Most of It The motor car is responsible for a lot of the fhost alluring little styles that ever were. All\the clever little caps and bonnets <pre so becoming and so comfortable there is no telling where they will lead the feminine world to in the matter of headgear. When a man gets himself up for motoring he usually looks like a death’s-head at the wheel or a monster from some other planet. You look at him and think of dusty roads, flying gravel and fearsome speed. But the auto togs of women are delightfully suggestive of pleasant drives and Jolly times. It Is the veil that makes possible this triumph for the gentler sex. And here is the very latest way of wearing it: It looks like the Persian veil or wherever in the far Orient the idea

same from. You see, the goggles may be put on with it when necessary—and taken off very easily any time; which is a good thing, for no stretch of the Imagination can make them things of beauty. Like a number of things in this world, usefulness is their only reason for being here; hence they are dispensed with whenever possible. This veil is Juet a two-yard length of veiling chiffon hemmed et the ends and tacked or otherwise fastened to one of the many soft caps and bonnets that are provided for the motorist. If you choose to go to the extreme of the mode yqu can follow out the oriental suggestion in the veil and wear a turban of silk wrapped about your head.
