ORIGIN OF GLOVES.
They Were in Ancient Times Used
as Shields


If by glove Is meant covering or protection
of some kin d for the hands, it Is not unlikely
that the early races Of men used the article in
some form; for we must remember that the
glove was in ancient days a shield or guard
more than an ornament, and it may be that
long before work in metals had place in the
world various articles for wear were fashioned
out of leather, and good stout leather, as
know, resist a good deal. We Can not
of course, say when gloves were first used.
nor VINO invented them, bur we do know that
gloves, as an article OF dress were worn by
he Hebrews in the Old Testament period.
They were worn also by the ancient Egypt
ians and the Greeks and Romans, ana they
were not unknown To our own Saxon fOrefatherS,
There came a time when only persons IN nigh
stations were allowed 10 wear them. There
was a period also when it was considered
marked distinction 10 bury dlgnltaries with
gloves on. Thus there is an account OF the
burial OF one of The Popes CBOnifaCe NIIL), in
which il is stated thai Ibe hands OF the corpse
were covered with gloves of white SILK, beau
tifully worked with the needle, and Ornamenttd
with rich border, studded with pearls.
Gloves are very neatly fitted to he hand in
our time. They were somewhat baggy long ago,
but TWO or three centuries back gloves were
made of much greater value than any now 10
be found in our shops. In the case Of persons
of high estate, both men and women, no expense
and no amount OF time were grudged II thereby
the gloves could be made handsome. IL was
the custom TO embrOider the gauntlet part with
rich threads, and even TO sew Jewels into them,
and some very pretty designs were at times
worked out in this way. Very beautiful and
dainty gloves of this kind were possessed by
Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots, and her
cousin, Elizabeth OF England, had also finely
worked gauntletted gloves. but they were much
larger than Mary's The thumbs on Eliza beths
Were 5 inches long, and the palm measurded
312 inches across. No doubt this was larger
than was needed. but there is no doubt also
thar Elizabeth had hand for business more
than for show, and 1t was hand, therefore, 10
