many a girl to set up in the privacy of

But fencing develops one side of the
body more than the other, so Miss New

orally.
Many a girl can do her trick on the
flying rings or the parallel bars in a
manner that makes her college bred

have to hustle still more when the

must change her gloves four or five
times a day. There must be one kind
for driving, one for bicycling, one for
shopping, another for calling and still
another for evening wear. Driving
gloves for spring are made of light
weight buckskin suede, and gray is the
preferred shade. The dealers try in
vain to force bright colored ones upon
the market, but to one person who is
attracted by them there are 20 who
wouldn't accept them as a gift. A glove
should harmonic or contrast with a
costume, but never clash. All gloves
worn for driving, bicycling or in games
or sports of any kind should be either
tan or gray and be of two buttoned
length. The newest bicycle glove is
made of suede finished Isle, with a
kid palm, which serves the double
purpose of making the glove strong
and protecting the hand. These have
little holes between the fingers for ven
tilation, and that is a very happy idea,
for bicycling being such heating exer-
else, the hands are very likely to per
spire, which is not only intensely I'M
comfortable, but ruinous to the glove.
The proper glove for shopping is
made of a combination of silk and cas-
tor. The very thought of silk gloves
is enough to send a chill down ones
spine, but in these the silk is not evil
dent. Castor is a material, glace in
finish, which is heavier than suede md
not quite so heavy as ouckskin. For
calling and the theater the gloves are
all in light shades-White, grayS in
shades varying from pearl to slate, and
yelloWS from pale lemon to tans. The
newest shade and one destined to be-
come a favorite is an old one revived
ash of roses or >mauve. Old styles, like
bad pennies, are sure to come back, and
this new shade, which has not been
worn in anything for so many years,
will be welcome prodigal.

Eizes all the new conceits in spring now

manufacturers. Some of the latest i'm

fairs that no woman could flourish one
for the first time without a little flut-

white plaids. If colors have a signifi-
canoe, as they used to have-blue is
| true, and pink is love-then these weap-
ons of Irritation will be more danger
Gus than ever.
Excepting for balls, gloves of great
| length are not worn so much as they
used to be- Very few are over four but
ton length. The new tight sleeve is
probably responsible for this change.
Most women prefer white handker-
chiefs, and of these there is an infinite
variety in both material and design.
The simplest ones have a very narrow
hem and are edged with lace not more
than a quarter of an inch wide. More
elaborate ones, some CT them round in
stead of square, have several rows of
insertion, a vine of embroidery and a
| deeper lace frill.

A sort of GainsbOrOugh hat is one
that will doubtless meet with great ia
Vor, as it is very becoming, especially
to young faces. This hat is what might
be described as an enlarged English
walking hat, except that the brim is
wider and rolls at the sides. 1t is the
placing of a long feather on the under
side of the brim which gives the hat it's
peculiar chic. The end of the feather is
fastened near the front and is allowed
to rest upon the hair at the side and
almost cover it at the back.
