FASHIONABLE GLOVES,
The FavOrite Hand Coverings for
Winter Months.

Winter Months.
From the Philadelphia Press
Now that summer gowns are being
washed and folded carefully away, II is
also time for the white and yellow channels
gloves to be put aside, and with the cloth
gowns that replace the well-worn summer
serge and covert cloth should be worn the
heavy dogskin gloves.
In these gloves the darkest red, or COX
blood" will be a fayorite color. They are
sewed with black, have broad bands OF
black stitching on the back and are bound
with black kid across the top. The buttons
on these gloves vary In size from a quarter
to flve-eghths of an irch in diameter. The
larger size are the most fashionable, and
are generally of white or black bone.
In length those gloves are preferred that
have no gap between the sleeve and the
glove. This brings into favor more than
ever the mousquetaire Then, too. the four
button and five-button. and even six II
small buttons are preferred. are much in
vogue. These shades come also in two
button gloves, which a great many prefer
for shopping glove, as they are not SO
much trouble to put on and off.
There is little change other than length.
which, as | said before, Is insisted on more
strongly this season than for several pre-
vious winters. in the fashion of the gloves
for calling and theater-gong Undressed
kid. with LOUD sewed seams, small buttons
and inconspicuouS stitching on the back
seem to be most favored for evening wear,
but glace kid Is coming rapidly into favor
again, and will be worn this winter to a
considerable extent, especially with silk
gowns. A glace glove can be worn with
anything, and is much more preferable
when glove is wanted to match" the
gown. Mode and fawn shades are taking
the place Of the tans that have been con-
sdered the thing par excellence for so many
seasons and hav1 been popular for so long
a time.
All sorts Of novelties are to be seen in
evening gloves, usual, and they are as
always, those expensive luxuries that a
truly refined taste shuns. Tops with van
dykes, butterflies and other fancy lace de-
signs set in, top embroidered in steel, jet
and bronze beads and innumerable other
patterns in tops are all to be had for the
price, but, as all our women know, are not
good taste.
An evening glove matching the gown in
tone, plainly stitched on the back with the
same shade and fitting perfectly Is the
thing TO be desired. 1t Is generally neces-
sary to have evening gloves made to order
If they correspond in shade and coloring
with the gown. but il one cannot afford this
then plain white suede cannot be bettered
and can never look amiss.
Now that our girls are enthusiastic
over outdoor sports, there must be gloves
for these occasions as well. and the makers
have proved themselves equal to the occa-
sion There are gloves for the bicycling
girl, gloves for the girl who rides horse
back and drives, gloves for the one who en-
joys skating and eoasting and gloves for all
the girls, whatever may be their fad
For the one who rides horseback there is
the always popular gauntlet, in all the COL
orings that habits can be made in-dark
green, dark blue, brown, tan and black are
all obtainable The back Is stitched or
braided in corresponding or contrasting
the ice and snow the fleece-lined, fur-topped
and the colored chamois are provided. So,
If anybodys get-up is not a perfect en-
semble it Is not the fault of the glove
maker
