that d lady is Judged By her gloves and shoes,
and though these arc certainly only small items
in the tout ensemble, yct they possess weighty
Importance Never before were there SO many
varieties ol glove, aud never was there less cx-
cuse for shabby and unsight1y glove, because
prices in this line are SO reasonable. The first
choice ior elegance is the undrcsscd kid or the
ucaut dc Sucitle,' whirl, can be had in every
conceivable color or tint, with any number Of
buttons between one and twenty -four, and at 4
variety Of prices. An excellent glove Of this
sort fur visiting and the street comes in all
suitable shades with three buttons, and costs
sl,lO, Others Of somewhat finer quality range
frum this to sl.G5, while those Nth more
buttons increase in proportionate price.
The dressed kid, Of course, is still
worn, and in this style you can
obtain any Thing you desire at all prices. The

ana arm like a stocking, continues to hold its
placc, and is in demand for full dress and for
dinner wear The color Of the glove is now al
most entirely optional. With moss~9recn
toilette, pearl color, cream, palest rose or
buff or linen tint arc preferred. Very delleate
and light gray are also elegant shades. Among
darker colors for more ordinary wear arc dark
brown, gray and steel color, and three Is the
number of buttons usually selected. There are
