The newest thing in veilings, which Paris has sponsored is the nose veil. This is made from material-nine inches wide, or half of the regulation width of yard veilings. Besides the novelty appeal the new veil is expected to find favour with many women because its shortness affords a large degree of convenience. In addition to staple black, brown and navy colours, wholesalers expect such shades as golden brown, beige and gray to be in demand. In some instances an added colour touch will be given by the use of small borders of Persian motif.
