Veils for Mourning.

Heavy crepe veils have almost been abandoned with mourning garb. The modern veil, is of Brussels net: —silk net, of course—and has a deep or narrow crepe border, according to the taste df the wearer or the period of

mourning. The veil is supposed to be worn over the face for the first six months, and thrown back from the face during the second six iponths. After that a plaited veil is worn at the back and a bordered face veil supplements it. But if crepe veils have gone out of fashion, crepe as a trimming has not; quantities of crepe ate used in mourning frocks of black henrietta, black chiffon, black crepe de chine and black mohair. ~ A very beau tiful mourning fabric is black ffiohali and worsted mixture, which has a handsome, dull luster, If one may use the two words In juxtaposition, and a very rich texture. .
