SOME NEW GLOVES.
Little Else but Hooks Will Be Seen
This Year.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Women will see something worth looking
at this fall when they go to choose their
gloves That delightful feminine pastime
will offer Il field large enough to satisfy the
most faStidiOus. Not that there will be an
abundance OF novelties; there never is IN
gloves. But what change has been made Is
radical and distinct, and, withal, entirely
pleasing
The substitution OF ''jeweied hooks for
the disfguring iron shoe hooks and clasps
has rendered the feminine glove thing of
beauty which shines in contrast with its
predecessor of d year ago. Imagine DELI
cateIy tinted glove of a beaver or light blue
shade with five jeweled hooks Of, the deep

same color, and you have the very latest
thing in hand apparel for women
II will be JOY To the hearts OF most OF
the fair sex, too to know they will still
have the opportunity of lacing their gloves,
instead OF adopting the prosaic system OF
clasps.
Little else. if anything. but hooks will be
seen this year on women's gloves. But

clasps have been bequeathed, with thanks,

grand folks in the matter of the three con-

been made in the size OF the points, and

opinion is, is as IL should be, since unlim-

long day since any one color held the
center Of the stage, but such an all-star
cast as the new scheme of color contrasts

The plain black glove should be mention
