THE WEARING OF GLOVES.
Some Ideas About Size and the Way
to Put Them

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Frenchwoman's idea of dress is, of
course, to accomplish perfection in all its
details. but if she must practice economy,
she never neglects her shoes or her gloves.
Her gloves are proverbial. She chooses
them with art. she puts them on with art
she carries them with art, and she mendS
them with art.
She always puts her gloves on in the
house and buttons them as carefully as
any other article of dress. She never would
be guilty OF putting Oh her gloves rudely-
IN the street or In a street car. or OF squeeL-
ing her hands into gloves several sizes too
small and buttoning them with a hairpin-
This would be considered a great impro-
priety.
Many people cram their hands into gloves
which are so small that the gloves look
stuffed. and u yellow kid on a pUdgy hand
reminds one of nothing more poetic than
q ham in its yellow bag. People. especially
girls with large hands. ought to buy gloves
which are larger than seems necessary, Tor
tight gloves always make the hands swell
and increase in size by years OF such IN
JudiciouS treatment.
Now. after choosing giOves-nice. stout,
loose ones for street wear. and others ii lit
tie closer in fit for calling and for evening
wear-there is Il way to put them on II
there is anything that mars a woman,s
appearance it is a glove with the seams
twisted and all the fingers awry.
The first trying on o. d glove Is the most
important. because this gives the glove ITS
set. First. shake some powder into each
finger of the glove Then place your elbow
firmly on a table, with the hand upright
and the thumb extended toward the palm
Draw the body of the glove over the In.
gers. and after seeing that each seam of
the glove is straight with the line OF the
finger, coax each finger into the finSer, OF
the glove. Be sure in the meantime that
the stitching on the back Of the glove is
also straight Now insert the thumb and
look once again to see if the seams are all
straight. II not, pull the glove off and be
gin again. The seam at the tip OF the
thumb should be in line with the middle OF
the thumb nail. Smooth the wrist neatly
and fasten the second button before the
top one. for then the top one will not sud
denly burst off. -

A nose thick and fiat is an unfavorable

usually signifying that the character is
pr~edominated by material instincts. while
a turned-up nose with wide nostrils be-
tokens a vain disposition
Especially wide nostrils are signs of cour-
age. strength and pride; small nostrils OF
weakness and timidity- Noses large in
every respect are usually found among
men. and when a woman possesses a large
nose IL indicates she is masculine In char
acter.
The nose. the form of which has much
to do with the beauty of the face. is
amenable to culture. and We have it on
the authority of a German physician that
it is beyond dispute that during half an
ordinary human life the nose is capable OF
receiving more noble form. The mental
training of an individual has a great deal
to do with shaping the nose.
The small, fiat nose, found among women
and called the soubrette nose. when occur
ring with an otherwise agreeable cast or
countenance indicates a gracious and
cheerful naivete, combined with consider
able curiosity. Such a nose is seldom
found among men, and when a man is I'M

COTTON STRIKE STILL ON.
Sixth Week of the Struggle Opens
With Both Sides Standing
Firm.

Boston. Mass. Feb. 2l.-The sixth week
Of the cotton mill strike in New Bedford,
Saco. Me. and other places began to-day.
Except at the King Philip mile in Fall
River. where most of the strikers except
the ring spinners returned after being out
nearly five weeks. and the Enos Lapham
mills at Centerville. r. l., where the strike
is practically over. both sides continue to
hold out. The New Bedford situation still
attracts much attention.
Although many rumors of compromise
and a report that many of the strikers are
weakening AVE been afloat. it is generally
believed ii will be many weeks yet before
the New Bedford cotton mills are run
ming in full. The fact that hundreds of
skilled operatives have left New Bedford
is regarded as a serious feature from the
standpoint of the manufacturers. as.
should the strike be ended, the mills would
be short of skilled help.
