Cut la WMs Panel Back and Front, Oatherod at Top to Bandeau That Fits Law on Hoad. One cannot help but notice the change to square, boxllke lines In garments or accessories worn above the ■waist, while the skirts take on bias lines and spiral draperies. It is an odd combination. Even a bridal veil, observes a fashion correspondent, has , been made In an entirely new ma and was shown at an exhibition which always includes one quite fascinating bridal costume. This vaH, by the way, may be worrit describing In detail for November brides. It Is of thin white chiffon, a novelty Indeed. It Is cut In a wide panel back and front, gathered at the top tc bandeau that fits low on the head, a level with the eyebrows. There Is nothing-over the top of the head. The ! chiffon falls over the face to the toes In front and to the hem of the tralnless skirt In back. It falls apart frouf J the bandeaux, down each side, where It Is bordered with a supple quality of sliver gauze ribbon. The bridal veil, while it Is the most novel touch, is a companion to another novelty in veils that looks peculiarly like the chin band which la held out by the beauty specialists as a trick, above all others, to reduce a double

chin.

It has taken the place of the floating veil of October among those who go to for the smart thing. It Is usually of mauve, gray or black lace net. It Is drawn tightly ov.-r mad under the chin, then upward to the top of the hat. where It Is fastened with a Jeweled ornament. It Is called the “bandage” vefl. It does not cover the eyes and drapes a little loosely Just below them. It leaves the back of the neck and the hair exposed. This chin veil, by the way. Is as effective as the chin b"ml, as It draws up all the surplus

SILK GLOVES ARE IN FAVOR Hand Covering That Is Not Only Economical but la Happily in Height of Fashion. Do you remember when you somehow assodated the wearing of s»:k gloves with old ladles in general end rather fus-y old ladles In peril color! If you were young and prided yourself on your smart dressing yon would sooner have gone gtoveless than don gloves of silk. Just why yon felt this way It Is hard to say. Slit stockings carried no such odium or distinction. And surely silk gloves have always had a good deal to their favor for warm weather wear. Cotton gloves, of course, we thought of a*—well, something that you would ire bravelv if you were reduced to them. They were associated with the ttagro toward the poorbouse to the mind* of most of us. Then France began to wear fabric gloves and gradually we discovered that they were more easily washed and cooler than wash chamois or doeskin doves. But the best thing that ever happened to silk gloves or cotton fab- «;«. stores ■wax the fact that because of the war their price went up. For the first time people were willing to try them without feeling that to doing so they would be effecting an enormous economy. Moreover, being economical has come In favor since the war. Now, although silk gloves coat probably very little 1«* than kid gtovro did before the war, still kid gloves have gone soaring ao that they are In the category of luxuries.

MAKING OVER VELOURS HAT Headgear That Is Too Large May Bs ftemade Into Latest and Pieaatog Style. A simple and effective wsy of “making over" a large, c&faahloaable velours hat Is to cut a band perhaps an Inch and a half wide from the brim. Toen take this band and place It i-mund the crown, tying the eeds In a loose knot at the aide or In the front, as one's taste dictates. There Is no question of matching colors, and the curve of the band make* the "trine mlng" fit especially well. If the hat la altogether too large; cut the band rather wider at the back. Whet- the band la removed, a short back poke to left. The wide portion of the severed band may be cut In the ah pc of qailia. the edges neatly wired.
