THIS YEARS GLOVES.
She Swede Observation-Disclosures oil
Tailor Made Suits.

THE fashionable style in gloves
changes to certain extent every season,
remarked large importer and manufact-
urer of gloves Cd Broadway, as he
stretched pair of number five KIDS 10
fit number eight hand.
what causes the ohsnges?" asked
reporter.
1.-THE style of dressing has all to do
with il. For instance, this summer the
close fitting, tailor made suits for LADIES'
from the length of the sleeve and lts
pattern, require a five button glove.
The glace kid is the most popular for
these suits. Six and eight button
gloves were often cut down to hive but-
tons to meet the demand. As long as
these close fitting suits are worn the
five button gloves will be in vogue. III
is the rage in Paris, and New York does
not remain long behind that city OF
fashion"
"What style of glove will be worn by
the ladies this summer"
"The old style, Swede mousquetalre,
will still be worn and in great measure
supplant silk gloves. For dress occa-
sions the Swede glovein light tan shades
will be worn almost exclusively. 1t is
rather strange that in the dead of sum-
mer kid should be preferable to silk.
Well, the Swedish kid is light and cool
and more dressy than silk. The most
popular color is a subdued mouse
color.
"The most expensive glove is the pink
red. Indeed, they are so high priced
that very small and select stock only
is kept on hand. When the famous
pink parties came off during last year
the gloves were generally made or order
ed directly from Paris.
"a new style of glove which docs moi
seem to become popular is the three
button kid, with black Spanish lace Tor
the top. In the first place they are too
expensive, and then the three buttons
are not enough to give them the style
of five buttons without the lace.
"The best style of glove, as rule, Il
imported from Paris. A few gentle
mems gloves manufactured in the Unit
ed States are as fine as any made In thu
world. But as much cannot be said
to come. The great thing to avoid II
manufacturing gloves is making to-
many large numbers. Ladies have qui

now ever has hand over five and one
half or three quarters in size
"How is that?"
"Oh, plain enough. The kid tn
gloves are made OF is the finest in tn
world. 1t will stretch from a numbe
five, the popular number, to 2 ten siz,
as easily as falling of log. Nearly al
the ladies wear number fives. l look
their hands and judge of the size an
stretch the glove accordingly. 1t make
it less embarrassing for lady with
number seven sized hand to ask for

The Pit Joseph Was Lowered lnto'

In the course of my rambles L have
three or four times come upon curious
square erections, which | have not OBJ
served mentioned in any work upon
Palestine. The largest of these was four
teen feet high by twelve square, and
formed of slabs of stone averaging three
feet by two, by one in thickness, lald
upon each other without cement, but
evidently hewn so that the construction
should be symmetrical. thought at inst
there might be a chamber inside; but
on examining one of the smaller ones
found it to be perfectly solid. From the
weather beaten appearance Of the stones
they seem to have been in position from
great antiquity; but whether they were
affairs. or monuments over tombs, or
served some more practical purpose, l
leave for those skilled in such matters to
decide.
The huge millstones are numerous
and are to be found, sometimes far re-
moved from any ruin, in the most re-
mote valleys. The lower ones usually
measure from eight to ten feet in diam
eter, with a rim around the circumter
ence. eight or ten inches high and
square hole in the center; they are abou'

A City Moving.

From recent surveys it has been as
certained that the entire city of Virginia,
Nevada, has moved over thirty inches
to the east since the big fire. of 1875.
The MAYNARD block, in Golden Hill,
is known TO be gradually sliding down
IN the direction of Gold Canon, and has
moved nearly two feet since its erection.
This movement is so gradual that it does
not affect in any manner the safety Of

MODESTY AND CHARITY.
Clara Bellies Bird's-eye View OF the
Situation.


situation.
"Clara Belle" in letter to the Cinci
natl Enquirer, tells of little futter in Muir
raw Hill social circles. 1t was in the getting
I'D of some amateur tableaux for charity
that question of skirts caused disturb
ance. The coterie was very fashionable
one, and the girls who were to exhibit them
selves in the living picture were anxious to
acquit themselves handsomely, OF course.
Six brunettes were assigned to Japanese
tableau. You may not happen to know 1t,
but it is fact, nevertheless, that there are
number of japanese gentlemen that pass
current in our best society. They are edu-
Gated, polite fellows, though my conscience
won't permit me to call them handsome,
but anyhow the usage admits them to the
best approved circles, and their behavior is
unexseptional. One of them was pressed
into the service of charity so far as to make
him take the job Of costuming and posing
the six dark-haired and olive-skinned girls
I'm an illustration of his native land. He
seemed delighted with the commission. He
was an excessive llupOIlcI W JdpaHCoC iou
RIGS, and in his stock he happened to have
some costumes made sumptuously of the
most exquisite Oriental materials. The six
girls were all of twitter after they had
seen these gowns, and they crowed like
ROSTERS because they were to appear as
japanese bellies, instead of being posed in
the old-fashioned representation of Cleopat.
ra's court, and that sort of thing. But there
came a shock. The Jap gentleman naively
said, when asked how the appearance OF
peculiar limpness was produced in the fe
male figure of the print which he brought
for the girls to study, that the ladies of hi:
land wore no skirts whatever, nothing ex
cept very short socks. He vowed that thu
right effect could not be obtained in any
ether manner. Two of the maidens volun
teered like heroines, for the sake of the goOt
cause, to wear the japanese satin with M
underlying muslin, but the other four declar
ed that such thing would be awfully i'm
modest. And so the tableau will show, &C
cording to present prospects, a pair OF ar
tistically realistic Jap bellies and quartet,

tired in Japan, be inevitably mistaken 70
