Designers and fashion books may suggest, but we Modishes must approve. Apropos, the spring veils. The wind and the sun make them a necessity, but the recent impor tations are certainly not calculated to enchance a woman's charms. They are even uglier than the heavy scroll design affected by a few a very few last year, and will in all probability meet a like fats. The only one at all acceptable by the woman who is unwilling to consent to mar her beauty of face is the double veil of white illusion or tulle with a single black mesh over it. The idea is not new, but veils worn this spring dif fer somewhat from those formerly in vogue, and are fairly becoming. The new est veils, however, of white with a very large and a very small black dot side by side, are dreadful, and appear as if spot ted with round bodied bugs with heads detached. Another white veil, iuat out. has groups nf black dots iu the shape of across. These," spread over the face, are anything but pretty, and no woman with any claim to good taste will ever adopt them, no matter by whose ap proval they are stamped or bow costly they may be. The Bingle black meshes are always becoming, and can, of course, always be obtained, because of the large demand. They do not conceal too much and give a softer appearance to the skin. Most women are extremely particular about these details of toilet, and having fixed upon some especial style of veiling which they know to be becoming, will have no other.no matter how many "late importations'' are Haunted 'before them. Perhaps on this point alone can a beau tiful woman afford to thoroughly ignore season changes. The average Ameri can woman, unfortunately, does not know bow to wear a veil to the best ad vantage. She draws it around the hat and pins it in the back, regardless as to where the bottom reaches. So long as it covers her face and falls below her chin somewhere she is content. I have seen otherwise perfectly gowned women veiled with such carelessness during the past few days. The veil Bhould never extend below the chin. This is a fixed law among Parisians. To be really chic it should come just to the tip of the nose. If, however, a woman has a plain lower face she may wear it to cover the lips, perhaps even the chin, but it must never, under any circum stances, fall below it. This spoils the contour of the face and showB the face and neck to bad advantage. A French lady of quality who recently visited New York, wore a red toque a stun ning affair and with it a red veil just reaching the tip of her aristocratic nose. As her mouth was her best feature, this suited her exceptionally well. Colored veils, aside from those in chiffon, may be used as the Beason advances. Some are already Bhown in delicate'lavender, which pale color is the usual forerunner of more decided shades. Those of black with purple dots are on view in the shops, but I have seen none worn. The intricate, irregular, spider-web like meshes of black are much worn by girls, but they are never becoming. Trimmings and decorative adornments are very gay and even bizarre. Among the latter are embroidered peacock feather designs for evening gowns and the eilk and gold stitched cretonne ap plications for both heavy and light ma terials for day and evening wear. The all-overs, with a jour machine embroid ery in gold, are a pronounced feature of the season's trimmings. Embroidered, tucked or lace trimmed batiste collars are still a part of the spring tailor suit. The Princesse skirt is an innovation of the spring, but has to be made most carefully and by a true artist. Nothlog is more deplorable than one of these corslet skirts which sets badly. It must be perfectly boned, and fit like a glove, or it will be crooked at the fas tening in the back. These skirts are shown in summer materials as well as in cloth. One in pale blue linen has black eilk bands outlining the top. This is to be worn with cool shirt waists, and is rather effective with thin white blouses. Lace is to be the keynote of summer fashion. It is still the rage in London and Paris. The new gowns Bhow that the mulines, Valenciennes and point d'esprit are in colors to harmonize with thaflgmesand- shades of ahe. cos tume. None is prettier than the fine batistes and silk grass linens with lace appliqued designs in colors to match, or nearly so. It seems s foregone conclu sion that boleros are to live through an other season. They are made of all sorts of materials, those of lace being unuBually attractive. They appear made of squares of lace put together with, groups of small tucks. These squares are also used for skirts, and are beauti ful joined in diamond shape. When in serted on bodice and sleeves they have a decidedlyemstefceffect.? Miss-Mills wore, a few days pgo, one of the most attract ive gowns of the season. It was a deep cream-colored cloth appliqued with white lace. With it ehe wore a large black hat trimmed with blue flowers. Ecru is extremely popular, especially for coaching. Miss Barney wore last week an embroidered crepe of this shade, with a large black picturesque hut of soft material. I-J" THE CHILD. When Mary sang to him, I wonder if His baby hand stole softly to her lips , And, smiling down , she needs must stop her song To kiss and kiss again his finger tips . I wonder if, his eyelids being shut , And Mary bending mutely over him, She felt her eyes, as mothers do today , For very depth of love grow wet and dim . Then did a sudden presage come to her Of bitter looks and words and thorn strewn street? And did she catch her breath and hide her face And shower smothered kisses on his feet ? Bertha Gerneaux Woods, in Scribner's. The Annual Meeting of the German Bap tist Brethren will be held hi Lincoln, Ne braska, from May Twenty Four to May Thirty-One, Nineteen Hundred and One.
