The woman who receives the gift will want

If You are choosing one and want a

With the exception of the enchanting

season. There is simply no describing then.
You must look at them fer yourself.
Be sure, by the way. to select one in

with 1t.
The Dresden knob and other china knobs
are out this year. Silver knobs bars, etc.
are still used, but rather less than last

appear less frequently also.
Rough wood handles studded at random
with little globules of silver half the size

Amethyst cabochons set in silver knobs
are very new and clever. Turquoise ca

CARE OF Kid GLOVES.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
There are three things" saith the prov
erb, which can only be managed by coax
ing-a Kid glove, a fire and a man.
Certainly all three require gentle meth
DDS. Rough handling is especially G.sa.-
trous to kid gloves; jerking them on is GER
tain to tear them. Always put on a pair
of new kid gloves for the first time long
enough before they are to be worn to al
low of due elaboration in the task Much
depends upon the way in which this is
done. When you purchase a pair of fine
gloves insist that they shall be fitted in the
store; then if there are any flaws they will
be detected before the gloves are paid for
and taken away
cheap gloves are always a risk and
should never be bought except at a reliable
store.
Some of the best shops keep a good line
OF gloves at low prices. which are we'll
worth buying for common wear. They
are strong and well made. though not fine
and serve excellently well for shopping and
morning walks or for bad weather.
In putting on glove always be careful
TO get each finger straight. Coax each
ore on by rubbing gently between finger
and thumb, and do not draw on the thumb
until the fingers are down to the very ends
In taking off turn the wrist over the
fingers and take hold of the ends of the
fingers through the wrist, ii wears q glove
out badly to pull 1t off by catching at the
finger ends Pull the glove into shape
and lay aware carefully. Keep silk to
match each shade. and mend as soon as a
break appears. The old proverb "a stitch
IN time saves nine, is especially apprO-
pirate to gloves. Glove mending is deli
cate work, which requires both skill and
deXterity, and when Well done pays ad-
mirably for the pains taken.
y flask OF glove powder should form
a N ia a tn foil ,al1
and pretty glove stretcher is another.
French women say that American mo,h-
ers fail sadly in the respect that they do
not instruct their daughters in the art
of putting on their gloves.
American girls they say, come down
stairs pulling their gloves on as they 60.
Now. a French woman never thinks OF
leaving her room until she has put on her
gloves any more than she would come out
buttoning her shoes. This is why a Paris
ienne's gloves last her four times as long
as do an Americans"
Buttoning gloves should never be done
in hurry. The wrist should be gently
and carefully pulled straight. and the but
tons inSinuated gently into the holes. Use
glove buttoner always; it ruins both
the buttonholeS and the finger ends to
button them without. The loop buttoner
is better than the ordinary hooks.
When you buy a new pair of gloves al
ways sew the buttons on before wearing,
then the annoyance of having the buttons
dropping off when YOU are in full toilet Will
be avoided. If your gloves lace, be care
full to lace them evenly, hook opposite TO
hook. This is as necessary or more so
with gloves than with shoes or a bodice.
and is just disastrous to the fit of one

Il m sorry to say 1t, but it is growing ac-

all mannerof dainty and simple things with

For the Handkerchief,
rom the New York Herald.


There will be a new attachment TO your
autumn belt, my lady. 1t consists of q
slight silver arrangement made to hold a
handkerchief. 1t will be worn on the right
side, directly beneath the arm. Ii will be
made of oxidized or filigree silver.
The question of where to place the hand
kerchief has long been a subject for discus
sion To carry 1t tucked up the sleeve has
long been out Of style-to place 1t in the
purse gives the ugly bulgei appearance that
cannot be tolerated To completely hide
the bit Of pretty lace from view is totally
out OF the question, but to have the dainty
edges peeping from beneath the belt when
ever the right arm is raised or lowered
meets with the approval of the feminine
sex
The handkerchief for this fall will be odd
and pretty. 1t will be made Of the thinnest,
sheerest material possible, and nemmed
neatly quite near the edge. One corner is
embroidered with a large and heavy mono
gram-the heavier the embroidery and the
larger the initials the more desirable is the
handkerchief.
1t is fastened directly IN the center by the
new belt clasp and Ia tucked In 80 that the
corner containing the monogram shows
plainly. Some handkerchiefs are embroid-
cred with a regimental decoration or the
stars and stripes, and some girls have the
private signals Of yachts or clubs on thei,
handkerchief.
