The short veils, of which we have before spoken as mask veils, but more appropriately termed by the Parisians muzzles, are now universally worn on both hats and bonnets. They are of thread or guipure lace, or else of tulle or spotted net, trimmed with chenille or bugle fringe, or else are hemmed over a colored ribbon.
