In buying gloves there are more i'm
pcrtant considerations than their color
and the number of buttons. Black
gloves are generally less elastic than
white or colored ones, and cheap grades
are dear at any price, says Womans
Life.
Dressed kid usually retains its fresh
ness longer, and Is more durable than
suede The best and most serviceable
kid is soft. yielding and elastic.
A glove so small that 1t cramps the
hands and prevents grace of motion
gives poor service. Short-flngered
gloves are ugly, and certain to break
soon between the fingers, IL not at
their tips.
The way in which glove is first
drawn on and shaped to the hand has
much to do with both it's beauty and
durability. Unless you have ample
time, do not have them fitted at the
shop, but at leisure draw them on as
here recommended, and. il possible,
wear them half an hour without clos
ing the fingers.
When the hands are at all moist,
they should be powdered. Insert all
the fingers, and work them on evenly,
leaving the thumb loose until the fin
gers are fully in place. Then insert
the thumb, and work the glove down
smoothly over the hand, keeping tie
seems in their proper position.
In buttoning glove the greatest
strain comes upon the first button. so

second one, then the others, lastly the

wrists and draw them off inside out.
but on no consideration leave them
in this shape, or roll them. Turn
them right side out, smooth lengthwise,
and put away by themselves with a
strip of flannel under and between
them.
A glove mender of wood, celuloid or
silver, in the shape of q finger, should
be in every sewing basket, as well as
glove thread in variety of colors and
shades. The seams of gloves should
be restitched as soon as n stitch
breaks, using fine cotton, never silk.
To mend a tear, buttonhole stitch
closely around the edges once or
twice, as the size of the rent may
require. and then join the edges to-
gether.
Save the buttons from discarded
gloves to replace lost ones. They often
match perfectly.

Iowa Women physieians.

In The Woman's Medical Journal is
a sketch of the Iowa State society of
Medical Women, the Oldest, If not the
only, state medical society of women.
DIR. Jennie McComen, of Davenport, the
writer, speaking OF the status of the
women Of the profession in Iowa, has
the following to say:
"The medical profession of Iowa is
noted for Its justice courtesy and liber-
ality toward women practitioners. Not
only are they freely admitted to all
medical societies, but are acceptably
occupying official positions of all
kinds; are sent as delegates from local
to state. and from state to national
societies. In 1898 Iowa was represent
ed in the Pan-American congress by a
woman. The state hospitals for in

that the total number of persons en-

United Kingdom was S39178 Com
pared with 1901 there is an increase OF
26,6S3 persons at the coal mines and
decrease of 2,022 persons at metalifer-
Gus mines. The output of minerals at
the coal mines was 231. .343, ,224 tons, OF
which 19,037,2 ,240 were coal. and the
balance was fireclay, ironstone. shale
and sundry minerals. Adding 9.705
tons which come from open quarries
the total output of coal for the year
was 219.046.945 tons, and this Is a de-
crease of 6.134355 tons.

It may seem, the mixture Of blue with

cessful, but its opponents claim that 1t

and maintain that the vivid shade of
green is only harmoniously possible
with white, black, or pale tobacco
brown which has just come into vogue.
The tendency toward freakish bright
colors which marked the beginning Of
the season is giving way before the
subdued tones which are now being in
troduced. Undecided changaeble
shades are securing the preferences,
according to the Chicago Tribune. The
latter effects are secured by placing
one color over another OF the most
effective of the changeable combina-
tions are blue and mauve, and green
and gray. The latter in particular is
altogether charming. Ecru and rose is
another effective melange and white
and pale blue give nondescript tone
which is decidedly attractive.

food is preserved, and she considers
that no cultured palate will regreat
