Veils Worn Off the Face. Tho blushing bride no longer yells her blushes, but wears her veil as far back on her head as posslblo to show her beautifully arranged coiffure. If she must cover her face, a small veil ' of tulle, falling Just below tho bust. Is attached to tho longer veil at the back and is removed tho moment the wedding ceremony Is over. The bride In the picture wears a wonderful veil j of Irish carrick-macross; one point of the square being turned in and "shirred for attaching at the back of the head whero the hair Is arranged low on tho crown. Tho bandeau of orange blossoms helps to keep tho veil In place and prevents the weight of tho laco from dragging the hair down. Still another brldo of tho lato season sea-son backed her Jetty tresses with a veil that gavo tho effect of a flaring Spanish comb rising above tho crown of tho head. A closo pleating of tulle spread out above a long, curved pin of pearls placed In tho hair and below be-low the pin, the voll was closely drawn together so that thumb and finger could have encircled the filmy folds.
