tl -A? L . . VJW THm brWal veil Is the uilva1 of an old custom, but (or all that It haa lost nothing of lta beauty and is ctlU tha most character Istlc part of the costume of the bride. But unfortunately we, who so seldom wear drapery, have not the maglo touch with which the ladles of Spain are able to- make their lace mantillas the moat graceful headdresses, In the'wbrld. There ar two ways of arranglne a bridal-veil: The first is on the straight of the tulle, and the veil hangs straight from- the top of the head to the train, where it must 'be curved off; or on the bias, where the veil is a triangle, one corner of which is fastened to the. head. This last is the more graceful way, as V, the veil is then not so heavy on tha hair, and it grows wider and wider over the train and falls in graceful lines. When a tulle veil Is used, the bride . usually wears it over ber face when go ing up the aisle, but after she is mar ried she comes down the aisle without it Tha veil used to be arranged In ona piece, but this made too heavy a cover ing for tha face, so now a separate piece of tuild Is cut to reach from the head to the waist line and only one-half the width of the material. This piece is pinned to the pompadour in such a way that It looks as though it were one piece with the rest of the veil, but It may be readily detached without affecting the back veil. Th Is much better than the old way of throwing the veil back from the face, for then it always disarranged the coiffure. It is the work of the. maid of honor to unpin this front section, and she carries It over her arm on the .. . return down the aluta. ,, . Lace veils are very magnificent, al though some people do not care for . them, because they are heavy, but all admit that they are wonderfully beau tiful. The lace Is brussels applique, usually covered ' with an embroidered dot The. girl who is not rich and has no such heirloom at her disposal must be satisfied with the plain tulle, for the lace is hand-made and It costs a fabu lous sum of money. Orange blossoms are the recognized conventional flowers to hold the bridal veil In place, but UUes-of-the-valley and white roses are tha flowers that tha bride usually carries In her bouquet Five pictures of bridal veils are given each charming In its way and each possible, tj, copy. Perhaps the most ar tistic arrangement Is that where tha curved corner of the veil la brought op ove- the knot of the hair, while the en circling wreath of blossoms extends over the pompadour. Another arrangement' of a lace veil Is where the front Is held In place by a half wreath and all the blossoms are on the veil itself, not on the Jialr.

Bin tbox- ' St1 fashioned cap, while the wreath holds it all in place. .The ' effect Is slightly heavy, but It Is certainly artistic and attractive. - The tulle veil is another sort of prob lem and must be handled quite differ ently. The tulle is caught into a'chou. and, if the coiffure is low, the wreath may be fastened so that there is a clus ter of blossoms at the left 'side;" this adds height both to the coiffure and to the brlda herself. Another attractive way to arrange a tulie veil is to gather up one corner of ' the huge square into a chou and fasten It Just at the left side of the hair, which is dressed high. The veil In the back is so adjusted and pinned that it will , extend evenly over the shoulders. This is perhaps the simplest way to ar range a tulle veil and It Is most be coming. """ " " " In fastening all veils it is well to bear In mind . that many hairpins must be used both visible and invisible. ; Pins come not only in black.', but in a brassy color less conspicuous when used with the white yell. Before arranging the veil at all the coiffure must be very firmly pinned, lest the weight of the depend ing drapery pull It down ana tha wed ding become a tragedy.
