VEIL DESIGNS ARE VARIED

Some So Elaborated With Outline or Tracery Embroideries That They Resemble Lace. While the scroll veil is very popular, it has a rival in the dotted veil. The latter may show the dot in heavy chenille spots, velvet pastelies or in embroideries of silk. Its chief allurement lies in its novelty. Nearly all the new veils have geometrical or irregular meshes, many of them so elaborated with outline or tracery embroideries as to resemble lace. Dark brown, taupe and gray are favored colors, sometimes overwrought with white or black embroideries. The veil shapes are almost as varied as the colors and patterns. Some are square, others circular, and there are those that are oblong. Indeed, a good deal of pains has been taken to shape the veil so that it will have an artistic relation to the hat with which it will be ultimately worn.
