Miss Nancy Reed, a former At lanta girl, now visiting Mrs. George Spier in Twelfth street, is among the first here to attempt the nose veil. “It won’t do for Atlanta girls,” she declared, and her decision seems to have been sustained, especially by the men of the city, who enjoy seeing all of a pretty face.
