winter Hand Coverings.
Now that summer gowns are being
washed and folded carefully away, II is
also time for the white and yellow
ehamois 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 dog
skin gloves.
Tn these gloves the darkest red, OF
COX blood" will be favorite color:
They are sewcd with black, have broad
bands of black stitching on the back
and are bound with black kid across
the TOP. The buttons of these gloves
vary in size from quarter to i've
eirhths of an inch in diameter: Inc
larger size are the most fashionao ie,
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-botton and i've
button and even six If small buttons
are preferred, are much in vogue. These
shades come also in two button gloves,
which great many prefer for shop
ping glove, as they are not so lnuch
trouble to put on and Off.
There is little change other than
length, which, as said before, Is In
sisted on more strongly this season
than for several previous winters, In
the fashion of the gloves for calling
and theater-going. Undressed kid,
with loud-sewed seams small buttons
and inconspicuous stitching on the
back. seem to be most favored for even
ing wear, but glace kid is coming rap
idly 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 moro preferable when a glove
is wanted to "match" the gown. Mode
and fawn shades are taking the place
of the tans that have been considered
the thing par excellence for so many
seasons and have been popular tor SO
long time.
All sorts of novelties are to be seen
in evening gloves, as usual, and they
are, as always, those expensive iuxurles
that truly refined taste shuns Tops
with vandykes, butterflies and other
fancy lace designs set in, top embroid-
cred 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 per-
fectly, is the thing to be desired. 1t is
generally necessary to have evening
gloves made to order if they correspond
in shade and coloring with the gown,
but if one cannot afford this then plain
white suede cannot be bettered and can
never look amiss.
Now that our girls are SO enthusiast,
ic over outdoor sports, there must be
gloves for these occasions as WELL and
the makers have proved themselves
equal to the occasion. There are gloves
for the bicycling girl, gloves 1or Zig
girl who rides horseback and drives,
gloves for the one who enjoys skating
and coasting, 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 coloring 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 colors. For those who
are preparing for the ice and snow the
Aeece-lined, fur-topped and the colored
chamois are provided. So, if anybody'a
get-up is not perfect ensemble it is
not the fault of the glove MAKER
