HISTORY.
The History of Gloves.

The History Of Gi0ves.
Skins with The hair OH were frequently
used in the middle ages, as, according
to the passage of Musonians quoted by
Casaubon, frey had been by the ancicnts.
They are frequently mentioned as having
been worn by husbandmcn in England.
Casaubon notes the circumstance that
the rustics of our day made use Of gloves.
There is nothing in that passage to show
that he was speaking of his country !:
he may, very possibly, have seen it in
France. In England, ut any rate, "the
monastery of Bury allowed its servants
two pence apiece for glove silver in
autumn " Pegge Misc. Carr, md ut o
later date, i'll Laneham, an account of
the entertainment of Queen Elizabeth ut
Kcnilworih Castle, 1915, the rural bride

coronation of Po;rGrch, Of Rome, as the

the other, lives L. rapine. The modern
lrdie, glove # fon'-aId-twcnty has had
its prototype, ior in the fourteenth cent

wear gloves reaching to the elbow.

AROUND THE FEAR.

Love came 10 me In the spring-time,
With the soft, sweet April showers
Her breath was the breath Of the woodlan
Aud her lap was filled with flowers
Hsr step was song In the silence
Its melody rosc and foil
As shc danced through tho fragrant twiligl
TO tho bower We knew 40 we'll.
And tho spring glidcd on to the summer
With the flame OF its fcrvent darts,
And the noon 81 tho neeting season
Was the noon Of our boating hearts
but the autumn came with lis shadows
And noon was no longer hot;
And the frost crept into our pulses.
And s.lmmer and spring were Asi
And love was alive with tho winter
But her beauty and grace had flei
Mid the SHOWS of March left her
With a cypress wreath at her head
