gloves this season. Ladies' Of conserYs
alive tastes continue to use the planet
kid gloves, with only the necessary
stitching on the back, and with very
long wrists, buttoncd by four or six
buttons. There are, however. in all the
best establishments gloves with three
broad rows CT stitching like embroidery
On the back and these are chosen by
ladies who like English styles. There
IS also a preference among ladies WHO
have lived abroad for shorter gloves
than those in vogue here, three buttons
being In greater favor than four OF six,
probably because they are more o
v~enient with closed sleeves and stir
cuts. The Queen Of England is said TO
prefer quite short gloves, with only two
buttons at the wrist. The broad stitch
ing is sometimes in contrasting color to
that of the kid, as black on tan or on
old gold; but this is very conspicuous,
and the ~self-colored stitching is most
used. The scallopcd tops Of gloves grow
more in favor than the oirdings that
Coniine the arm, and there is a fancy
for white pearl buttons on long. wristed
glC"es. The pique gloves double
stitched) with tapping edges have a
durable look that is now stylish for day
gloves both in light and dark shades,
and these are buttoned by the
convenient thrcs buttons, though
made as long as those having
four buttons. T~an-color shading

green or brown in hue-these are the
oolors of the bulk Of the stock shown al
the leading houses. Cream, ccru, brown
and putty-color are still popular for
drCssy gloves, and there are primrose
and lemon shades far brighter than any
that have been worn for years. I'm
dressed kid gloves are not brought out
at this season in dark shades, but are
very fashionable in light %colors, such as
cream, gray and tan; white undrcsscd
kid gloves of fine quality and long ire
fashionable for full dress. For day wear
hrce-buttoned gloves of undresscd kid
are now sold for 81 q pair in the best
qualities, and the prices of other gloves
are reduced in proportion. Lisle thread
gloves come in as varied designs almost
as shilling calico; they have three elias.
tics across the wrists with puifs be-
tween; or they are open-worked al
around the loose wrist, or else clicked
up each side, or slightly embroidered
with c%olors; or they have lace backs or
perhaps lace fingers, or it may be the
whole glove is in open lace-like patterns.
But the neatest designs are those with
long wrists, b%uttoned, or else held in
place by thee elastic bands. Their col
ors are gray, drab, white, ecru and
back. Silk gloves are made in similar
designs and colors. and are finished like
kid. There are also silk and thread
miLts half handed gloves-to wear
with quaint dresses in midsummer. For
travelling and for driving in phactons
are heavy dog-skin gloves, made with
Tapped seams. Lace mitts are fashion,
able again, and are shown in vari-
Gus lengths. from those with merely a
gauntlet cuff to the long. armed mittens
that reach to the elbow. The real Chan
lilly mitts of fine black lace, with thumb
and no fingers, are the first choice, and
cost from Sc. so q pair up TO SIG. The
Maltese lace mittens are also very fine
and web-l,ke, and are shown in black,
white, cream, straw and pale blue
shades to match costumes; the black
Maltese mitten is, Of course, most use
full, as it may be worn with any dress;
these cost Sc to 1925. The closer woven
tilet or thread mittens in lace pattern are
quaint looking, and are liked with GER
tain costumes. For useful black lace
mitts with cuffs, fine qualities nearly
covered with the design are sold for SO.
These are nice enough to please the
most fastidious taste, and there are
many serviceable mitts for 81 or less
that will be cool and pleasant for sum-
mer wear. For full dress are white
Brussels net mitts ornamented with
tambour-work; these cost from $40 to
10. -Hdrper'S Bazdr.
