KiB bridal veil fg the survival of an old custom, but for all that it has lost nothing of its beauty and ts still the most character- istic part of the costume of the bride. But unfortunately we, who so seldom wear drapery, have not the magic touch with which the ladies of Spain aré able fo make their laco mantillag the most graceful headdresses in the world. There are two ways of efranging a bridal veil; The first 1g 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 vel] is a triangle, one corner of which is fastened to the head. This last is the more graceful way, as the veil ie then not so heavy on the halr, 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 her face when g0- Ing up the atsle, but after she is mar- fied she comes down the aisle without tt. The vetl used to be arranged in one plece, but this made too heavy a cover- ing for the face, so now a separate plece pf tulle ig 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 yell, but it may be teadily detached whthout affecting the back veil. This ts much better than the pla way of throwing the vell back from the face, for then it always disarranged the coiffure. It lg the work of the maid of honor to unpin this front section, and she carries {t over her arm on the return down the aisle. 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 dispocal 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 Hilles-of-the-valley and white roses are the flowers that the bride usually carries in her bouquet: Five pictures of bridal veils are given ~each charming in its way and each possibie to copy. Perhaps the most ar- tistic arrangement ig that where the curved corner of the veil is brought up ever 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 hair. In some instances the lace 1s brought over the head like a charming old- fashioned cap, while the wreath holds fit all in place. The effect is slightly heavy, but it is certainly artistic and attractive. The tulle veil is another sort of probe lem and must be handled quite differ- ently. The tulle is caught into a choy, and, if the ecoiffure 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 bride herself. Another attractive way to arrange a ol / 9°¢ t. ec? { 4 ° la reer ent Wile SigoedstS HG2aL. tulle veil ig to gather up one corner of the huge square into a chou and fasten {t just at the left side of the hair, which {ts dressed high. The vell 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 veil. Before arranging the veil at all the coiffure must be very firmly pinned, lest the weight of the depend- ing drapery pull it down and the wed- ding become a tragedy.

The first essential is daintiness. The hangings should be of chintz or of a white material which may be washed when necessary. The wall paper should be light and flowery, a charm- ing Dresden picture, so that milady when in her boudoir may be part of the whole. The curtains should be ae WOLF ULUSILCR DLOSEUID ALLE » which the bride may rest after an arduous day of housekeeping, or where she may re- cuperate during the season's gayety. The dressing room may be an inex- pensive affair--no matter how cheap things are they may always be pretty; and .even if cheesecloth is used for the window hangings and a soap box hung with it is used as a dressing table. the room will be attractive. Color, however, must be good and the hang- ings graceful. The dressin table shown in the ere is a Chippendale, graceful in ine and dainty as the owner, no mat- ter how fair sho is. The fittings in this case are silver, but they might be ivory. They include a hand-mirror, ot Loilet LZALPS. hair brush and comb, velvet brush, elothes brush and nail scissors. The cloth is a simple white linen, env- broidered with the monogram ofthe owner--but it need not be embroid- ered at all. The dressing table is not too crowded; there is nothing more untidy than a table covered with utensils of all possible descriptions. To avoid this a small tray shoulda be used to hold those creams, washes, the manicure set and such things that milady uses to complete her toi- let. This little tray may be kept in a convenient drawer and at dressing time it may be placed near milady on a tabouret, so that it may be within reach and yet will not disturb tho erfect order of the dressing table tself. A scrap basket should always be handy to catch those little worthless things that find their way to the dressing table. Letters and odds and ends always seem to gravitate and land there despite the neatness of the bride, so a convenient basket is the greatest help in clearing such trash away. Sometimes the dressing table Is fitted with a little drawer, where the LGPCSCIGY TeWeL CESE. tray with all the toflet accessories may be Kept entirely by themselves, but they must not be kept in a drawer with anything else.

They are very useful, easy to keep clean and easy to tuck away in a bag when going on a journey, A stool is a very handy thing to have before the table---for it may be easily placed out of sight and brought forth for use when dressing time comes around, For those odds and ends of jewels, those inexpensive chains and little necklaces, there ts nothing more con- venient than a jewel box of tapestry -«bound jn backward on a most peculiar hinge, of the dressing table, and when &@ convenience Is really and when ft needs only a little care to keep ft in possible A seta Litt fe Dinco Phen gold braid--which open It is plainly seen that a perfect tol- let cannot be made without the ald such sO {noxpensive, yood condition, il geems im- that there ts a bride who would be willing to do without this bit of feminine luxury, NEWS BY MAIL FROM IRELAND'S SHORES, in the Emerald Isle of Happenings f Interest to Irish- men, It 16 proposed to start an agricultural echool in northeast Ulster. 4 3 z:** Se sk ata land & W olff, of Belfast, will build two 1,000 fodt steamers for the White St 4 rhe anni oncert aid of the Bel- fast Mas ut charities, held Peently, wa t suse! ] eA wou Da grecu f{ ys FROM ERIN'S GREEN ISLE Ply separate trade returns of their com- merce with Irish ports, Bir Henry A.
