HOW TO WEAR GLOVES.
Many Otherwise well-Dressed Wom-
en- Are Inclined to Neglect This
Important Accessory.

Most women do not realize the i'm
portance of the glove. An ill-fitting or
inappropriate glove can mar the effect
of an entire costume. 1t is mfortu-
nate that there should be so much care
lessness in connection with that article
of dress which has held so revered
place in romantic history. Gloves have
been the symbol of power, the gauge
of defiance and the token of love, and
now they have dwindled to necessary
adjunct of dress which in the majority
of cases is treated with the same con-
sideration as poor relation-anything
is good enough! But women's careless
ness of detail in regard to hand cover
ing is noticed and commented upon to
an extent which, if the fair wearers
only realized it, would create revolu-
tion in glove wearing.
There are many "do nots" which are
applicable to glove wearing:
Do not buy cheap gloves. If your in
come is limited you might better don
neatly mended, correctly cut, good
quality gloves than a new pair of poor
shape and quality.
Do not wear evening or dress gloves
except in the evening or on dressy oc-
casions. 1t seems to have become GUS
tom to wear fresh pair of delicate
gloves on some important occasion.
When they become slightly soiled or
have been cleaned they are used for
less important times, and thoroughly
soiled glove appears to be good enough
to run out in or to wear shopping
This is thoroughly bad taste, if not bad
form. For travelling, walking and shop
ping wear medium heavy glove match
ing the costume or stout English
glove of some neutral shade. This will
prove more economical than always
purchasing dress gloves, which when
once soiled are hacked out so quickly
and look so slovenly.
Do not try to make the hand look
small by wearing a tight glove. In
selecting glove, be sure the fingers
are long enough and that the button
or clasp fastens at the juncture OF
wrist and hand and not on the palm
1t is best to purchase from different
dealers until gloves perfectly suiting
the hand of the wearer are discovered
and then give that dealer all your
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1900-07-06

trade. Promiscuous glove buying is as
bad as promiscuous shoe buying.
On the other hand, do not wear
gloves too large. The baggy backs,
wrinkled fingers and slouchy wrists
do not give that refinement of appear
ance which all women covet.
Do not wear a glove with button off
or rip in some seam, thinking it will
not be noticed. Such defect is glar-
ing to strangers and friends. Almost
any store will have any gloves which
have been bought from them properly
mended for a trifiing sum, and the
gloves look much better than when
mended at home.
Do not put new glove on carelessly.
The first wearing molds the glove to
the hand and decides its future ap-
pearance. Be careful to get the fin
gers straight and work them gently
on, little by little, each in turn. Then
put one finger in the palm and, by
pressing outward adjust the hand
part. The thumb follows, and when
the seam on the outside of the hand is
even and smooth the glove may be but
toned or clasped.
Do not take the glove off carelessly
If you desire it to last well. In taking
gloves off turn the wrist over the fin
gers and draw until the fingers are
half uncovered, then the finger ends
may be loosened by the tips. This
makes it an easy matter to readiust
the glove right side out. 1t is good
plan to breathe in a glove after taking
it off. 1t preserves the softness of the
kid by quickly drying any slight mois-
ture.-N Y, Herald.

FOES MADE FRIENDS.
How the Union Soldiers Were Treated
when They Captured
yIcksburg.

"The sullenness of the Beers in some
of the captured districts of the Orange
Free State reminds me of our expert
ence after the capture of Vicksburg,"
said the captain. sour regiment, the
Twentieth Illinois, was sent into the
city to take charge of affairs. The
town, with its deserted streets, closed
doors, and shaded windows, was like
a city struck by pestilence. The peo-
pie had locked themselves inside their
houses with determination not to rec
ognize their conquerors in any way.
Gen. Grant had issued special orders to
the effect that the soldiers acting as
guards should pay no attention what
ever to the people, should intrude in
no way, should not even open a gate
or step into yard, and should give
heed to no remarks made by the resi-
dents. These orders were strictly car
ried out.
'We went about our duties, taking
no notice of the shaded windows, of
the closed houses and stores, and max

ing no comments. The second day the
shades of the windows were raised part
way so we could see there were peo-
pie inside. The next day the shades
went clear up and the doors were
opened. The fourth day the people
sat on their porches and verandas and
walked about their yards, and the fifth
day they yentured into the street, and
in the course. of ten days they had
taken a friendly, cordial attitude to-
ward the boys in the Twentieth. This
was brought about in part by the bear
ing of the officers and men and partly
by the order that our surgeons should
give attention to all persons taken
sick.
"0ur surgeon, remember, was called
one night to attend some one taken
violently ill at house near our camp
where the people had been naughty,
impertinent and offensive. After that
many of the officers were invited to
this house and treated with great cor
diality. Once the ice was broken the
people and the boys in blue became
great friends. On New Years day the
ladies of the city opened their houses
to calls, and each was anxious to re-
ceive as many calls as possible. When
our regiment was ordered away from
the city to join our division on the
Big Black river the people of Vicks-
burg were demonstrative in expressing
their regard. Later, so or more of the
ladies of the city visited us in camp,
and we gave them picnic dinner on
army rations.
"The influencing factor in all this,
think, was the discipline and the
respectful, soldierly attitude taken by
the men of the Twentieth. One lady
confided to some of us that she hated
us first because we were too strong
for their own men. She hated us in
the second place because we had i'm
posed upon them during the siege so
many priyations. She hated us in the
third place because we had been vic
torious, but she admitted that when
we came in without any parade, with
no disposition to eXult over them, with
no appearance of resenting their sui
lenness, she changed her mind and
found that we were pretty good fell
lows"

that there are four classes of persons
who should not drink hot water free

in such cases. (2) Persons with di-

several times; one of them five times.
They were New Workers. A desper-

lives. Several committees from the
great city waited upon President Lin
coin and pleaded for them The
wives and children of two of them Wis
tied the president, but Mr.. Lincoln
could not be moved. He had over
looked the offense in hundreds of in
stances, but the time had come when
the discipline of the army demanded
the severest punishment of soldiers
found guilty of that crime. Secretary
Stanton, for year before Mr. Lin
coin had refused to so punish desert
ers, had pleaded with him to let the
law have its way. Mr.. Stanton had
told the president many a time that
his soft heart was spelling the army
and endangering the life of the ma
ton, but Mr.. Lincoln paid little heed
until 1868.
SIN some portions of the army it
was the custom to hang deserters, but
in most instances they were shot, and
in the presence of their respective
commands, as described. The effect
was magical. Desertions were little
