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.
In some instances the lace Is brought"
over the head like a charming old-

'Lemon and Glycerine Lotion
' ALICE Here is a; lotion' for light
freckles; if .: used " persistently ; the
blemishes Will disappear in a short
time: Citric acid (lemon), three dramsf
hot water, eleven -ounces; borax, two
drams; red rose petals, one ounce;
glycerine, one ounce. " , ; .
Dissolve the acid and borax in the
-water: infuse the petals for an hour

' HEARTBROKEN - Frequent sham

crowing darker.- Use the formula given
below once a week: White castile soap,:

grains; borax, one hundred and twenty

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. "
