SOME WAYS of
Taking To The VEIL
Let your veil be widely meshed and cobweh fine, drawn tightly across the hair, which is curled softly towards the cheeks, while a tiny beret perches precariously over the eye on the opposite-: side.
Or let it be very finely spotted and slightly flated round the face, just touching the tip of yer retrouvé Pose-if you are. lucky enough to have oue. This for wear with the little round "porkpie" hat which is worn tilted centre-front.

Thirdly, with the small hat of upturned brim wear a longer veil whose edge is "worked with white chenille spots. On windy days this vail is tossed back and tied in a gauzy how at the back of the hat, the white bobbles" lying flat as a sort of trimming. The new fantastic veils worked in large patterns of startling design are worn in the old "birdcage fashion, drawn, tightly over the face and knotted under the chin. Among the more fan- tastic designs are moons and stars, animals, and a monocie or a pair of arched eyebrows just where they should be placed in reality!

A finely meshed' veil, worn just to eaver the eyes, hangs, all the way round quite straight from the tiny brim of a dark felt hat which is worn tilted slightly forward.."
Slanting voils are worn by the rakish, straight ones by the demure. The fully pretty wears her veil loose and doating, the *femme fatale only covers her eyes, the business-liks and tidy woman prefers the short, tightly-drawn veit..
The blande indulge in veils coloured to match her hat or beret, the brunette remains faithful, to black, dark brown, and navy blue.

For the evening an almost invisible net is drawn over the head and three shaded oirelats of velvet superimposed at angle suitable to the WEATER to give the effect of the fashion- able, twisted turban. Or a circlet of lacquered feathers is worn to tone with the gown.

Being Occupied.

But Actually they only prove the more on the whole men and women like the great need of everyone to be to be absorbed in something, to doing something. give their whole attention to some: thing, and the joy of making some- thing is exhibited from the moment the child presents his parent with a plece of woolwork carried out on cardboard.
If, then, work is withdrawn from the human race by means of machinery and organisation, what is to happen to the animal who has letrat to depend upon work for his happiness There remains only the solution of the much more difficult problem of leisure.
Not everyone has a contempla tive nature; not everyone even is able to think. The majority of us hate thinking, which, after all, is a strenuous and often unproft- able business. But the majority of us have an intense desire to be occupied, which is the sole reason for organised amusements, most of which do not amuse but serve as a sort of chewing gumtasty at first but merely a mechanical exercise

The New Gospel.
The gospel of work has been preached for so long that the new gospel of labour saving, with all its attendant evils, seems by no means to take its place. And yet there are still pleasures, and not of the organised kind, the plon-. sures of little things—an arrango- ment of flowers which has been specially auccessful; a dish that looks particularly appetising ns. well as possessing its" usual quali tios.
They are all the sinnllest things and the effect is entirely personal, but do they not point the way to wards a leisured existence which may not be sheer boredom and inanition? At present, with half the world working too hard and half not working at all, the art of leisure has been taught nowhere. That is to say, when people can do as they like they find they like nothing that they do,
Deprived of the compelling force of work the human being is actu- ally reaching a more adult stage, and, like the medical student, he. riots easily under the now condi- tions. Perhaps we shall all have
to dig in the garden; perhaps we shall all have to contemplate for certain hours during the day; per- haps we shall all have to do physi- cal exercises. At the moment the art of leisure seems at its lowest ebb, with no one ready to give a lend in this most difficult phaan of living.
WEARING A SCARF
THE RIGHT WAYS
Some people seem able to wear scarves, while others merely look their worst in them. The whole secret is the arrangement, which, with the bias scarf of today, gan to some extent be adopted by every- one. Bina scarves may be single or double, or they may be a triangle, which needs more arrangement" at the neck.
Two ways not to wear a scarf are to hang it round the week like s stole or to cross it over meekly too low in front. This makes any scarf look elderly and tasteless. A triangular scarf, especially in the thin wools now used, can be tied in front under the chin, the ends being flattened out so that they hang straight down from the knot. This gives a smart stock
effect, especially to the many strip- ed and checked ties”
Many scarves are being made of knitting on bins lines and in sey-
eral colours. The knitting is na airy and Iney as possible. This al so can be tied once under the chin and the ends allowed to hang straight down from the upper edge of the scarf. If this arrangement does not suit the particular wear- or the scarf can be shifted round to the side of the neck. Somotimës one and hangs down in front and the other at the back.
Short little scarves with bias ends are tied once under the chin and "the enda áre allowed to stick out in a pussy-cat bow. Short scarves are also used to fill in the necks of coats, which button almost to the throat but not quite. These are bright and are spread out as much as possible to show the co- lour, while being wound tightly round the neck to give an appear ance of fit.
Long bias scarves are put on backwards and the ends brought round to the front and tied there or at the side. The wearer of a scarf can do a good deal of experi- menting before she finds just, the right method.
