women do not realize the i'm
portancc of gloves. An limiting or
inappropriate glove can mar the cf-
feet of an entire costume. 1t is un-
fortunate that there should be so
much carelrssness in connection with
that article of dress which has held
SO revered q place i'll romantic his
tory. Gloves have been the symbol of
power, the gage of defiance and the
token of love. and low they have
dSindlcd to a necessary adjunct of
dress which In the majority of cases
IS treated with the same consideration
as q poor relHtion-anything is good
enough! But women's carelessness of
detail in regard to hand covering is
noticed and commented upon to an
extent which, if the fair wearers only
realized it, would create n revolution
in glove wearing.
There are. many Edo nots" which
are applicable to glove wearing:
Do not buy cheap gloves. If your
income 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
occasions. 1t seems to have become
a custom to wear n fresh pair OF deli
cate gloves on some important occa-
sion. When they become slightly
soiled or have been cleaned they are
used for less important times, and n
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 shopping wear a medium
heavy glove matching the costume or
q stout English glove of some neutral
shade. This will prove more economi-
cal than always purchasing dress
gloves, which when once soiled are
hacked out SO quickly and look S 20
slovenly.
Do not try to make the hand look
small by wearing a tight glove. In
selecting n glove be sure the fingers
are long enough and that the bottom
or clasp fastens at the juncture of
wrist and hand, 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
trade. Promiscuous glove buying is
as bad as promiscuous shoe buying.
On the othefs1hand. do not wear
gloves too large. The baggy backs,
wrinkled fingers and slouchy wrists
do not give hat refinement OF appear
ance which all women covct.
DO not wear n glove With a button.
off or a rip in some seam, thinking 1t
will not be noticed. Such IL defect is
glaring to strangers and friends. Al
most any store will have any gloves
which have been bought from them
properly mended for u triling sum,
and the gloves look much better than
when mcndcd at home.
Do not put a new glove on careless
4ly. The first wearing molds the glove
to the hand and decides its future ap-
pearance. BE careful to get the fin-.
gers straight, work them gently on,
little by little, eaci, in turn. Then
put one finger in the palm and, by
part. The thumb follows, and when
the seam on the outside of the hand
is even and smooth the glove may be
buttoned Or clnspcd.
Do not wear kid gloves without
sprinkling powder in them if your
hands IRE inclined to perspire.
Do not take a glove off carelessly il
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 to the tips. This
makes it al. easy matter to readjust
the glove right side out. 1t isaa good
plan to breathe in the glove after talk
ing it off. 1t preserves the softness of
the kid by quickly drying any slight
moisture.
