Fingerless Gloves for Dinners.

FlDgerless gloves were novelty at the
Vanderbilt dinner, says New York letter
They we're a compromise between wholly
sloved hands, which are clumsy and insult
able to est with, and bare hands, which seem
hardly the right thing for dressy occasion.
so a number of the ladies, as though By pre-.
arrangement wore gloves that stopped little
beyond their knuckles. These were like the
mts of our grandmothers, except that they
we're made OF kid. Not only did they have
the advantage of beauty and utility in the
handling OF knives, forks and spoons but
they permitted display Of jcwelry. The
atrocity of rings on gloved fingers Is not often
committed by fashionable women, who have
therefore been reluctantly compelled to hide
or leave of their finger jewels at all times
when gloves were prescribed. The flngerless
gloves as thus introduced were special
manufacture TO order; but the dealers will, OF
course, hasten to meet demand. Customers
can't wait for an Importation, which would
take six weeks by which time the season OF
spring dinners will be over. SO the dealers
will have to amputate the fingers OF gloves
already In stock and finish the cut edges with
fancy stitching. IL anybody desires to &c
