'When a longer veil is desired which K not often the cas chiffon, bordared with crape is used instead in-stead of all crape. The aew draperies require a veil almost or quite sqware and these sqnares of crape are finished with a three-inch border of the same material, which extends all around the four sides. TheTe are several new drapes, but the two most artistic ideas show the veil falling in a double or triple box plait from' the back of the turban, or draped to fall in two points at the back from bonnet shapes. In the latter case the veil provides the trimming for the bonnet. Longer veils or chiffon with crape borders are used on both bonnets and turbans. Among some of the Bmartest styles these long veils provide the drapery for the shape, enveloping it entirely, and fall in ample folds about the figure. This is for those who desire the extreme in mourning modes. Other novelties to be noted are the use of black and white crape together and of all white crape for any period of mourning. The most striking and beautiful mourning millinery to be seen on Fifth avenue is in white crape. Shapes are covered with this fabric and trimmed with lilies, roses or other blossoms made of it. The same idea is carried out in black. The pure white of white crape and the beauty of the fabric itself make for it a triumph above all other materials. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. |
