centuries it has been conveyed from assures

the Caspian sea, where it is seen to issue

THE GLOVE IN DAYS OF YoRe.

When Venus Pricked Her Finger and Au-
tolycus Sold Gloves Sweet ms Roses"
Ii the science of knowing people by their
clothes, whose claims are so e%loquently
urged by Balzac, ever come to be formu-
lated, the chapter on the meaning of the
glove will not be the least interesting por-
ton of 1t. There is no article of clothing
more diversified in its uses. Its apparent
triviality disarms us, and we are inclined
to toy with it lightly as one of the most
agreeable ebullitions Of feminine fancy
aud forget that anything more serious than
adornment ever caused its use. Jean God
ard, a French rhymester of the sixteenth
century, wrote a poem, in which he told
how Venus. running after Adonis, pricked
her finger and ordered her maidens to get
leather and make some gloves for her to
protect her hands. But M. Godard's pref
ty fancy must give way before stern facts.
The primary uses of the glove were strictly
practical and unromantic.
English danes of early days never dream
ed of such subtleties as gloves. They wore
their sleeves long, with pointed flaps, that
rested on the back of their hands, or, when
they went forth in winter, drew the loose
drapery of their outer garment over their
hands. It was not till near the close Of the
tenth century that they thought Of gloves;
then they wore them with only a thumb
and no fingers, like the mittens of the pres
ent day, and they were wondrously embroid-
cred and starred with jewels. No gloves
were finer than those Of the clergy. They
were mostly of white silk, or linen Gun
ningly embroidered, and sometimes fringed
with pearls.
Later on, gloves became magnificent for
common wear, and in contemporary pic
lures the nobility seemed to have carried
them rather in their hands or in their Cir
dies than on their fingers. II was by the
fine gloves his page carried in his girdle
that C@ur de Lion was betrayed on his
way home from the crusade, and 20 fell
into captivity.
But already the glove was more than .
mere bit of foppery. The Knights mailed
glove sheltered his hand. 1t became a
sign Of power, and when a gracious lord
meant to signify his intention to protect q
town he sent his glove as a sign Of his
willingness. The glove, too, was the token
of defiance when one knight declared war
against another, and at the same time, as
II to mark the difference between the strong
right hand of man and the daintier hem
of woman, he bound his mistress delicate
broidered glove to his helmet by way of
showing his fealty. AS the sign and test
Of love, gloves had been largely utilized.
BY the sixteenth century gloves were
ommon wear, together with farthingales,
corsets and low gowns. Gloves were per
fumed greatly. Autolycns sold the maids
''gloves as sweet as damask roses" In
Charles lis time the shortening Of the
sleeves led TO the frightening Of gloves.
