The Veil and Mirror Puzzle.

From a feminine source comes a question which is more easily answered at first than at second thought —-a question that is, which is not quite as simple as jit seeing. It 'is this: n - Does a wonian wearing a veil see, when she looks in a mirror, what another person sees who looks at her through her veil? On consideration one realizes that the veiled woman looks through her veil at an image which is itself veiled, and, therefore, she apparently looks at herself through two veils instead of one which is all that dims to the vision of the other observer. Then there Is the further fact that in a mirror what was right becomes and vice versa, so that what ono sees there is not a picture of one’s self but of somebody who is likft one’s self only as one of a pair of gloves is like the other. That, however, has nothing to do with the question as to the* veils, and that is quite complicated enough to stand alone.—Chicago Journal.
