will be highly fashionable color in
suede, but pearl grays, light tans and
slate colors follow hard behind, says
fashion authority. g
The stitching on the back Of the
glove is what is known as Paris point,
and 1t makes the glove fit the hand
perfectly, emphasizing the beautiful
perfection to which modern art has
brought feminine hand apparel. For
mourning the black suede glove has
flet stitching on the back; the Paris
point would be too heavy for good
taste. The stitching is always in the
same color as the glove. The dress
glove is caught by two clasps, which
keep it in better shape at the wrist
than do buttons. Madame or
mademoiselle who wears long sleeves
over her tapering fingers knows the
advantage of wearing short-wristed
one or two clasp glove, which has no
chance to make an awkward thick
ness around the wrist.
For the morning tramp through
woods or fields, or for the shopping
expeditions, English walking gloves
of glace kid will be worn. They are
decidedly au fait and very natty, the
colors favored being English craven,
Havana tans and London smoke.
These have one clasp at the wrist
which is made to initiate q large
pearl button.
As to fashions which now prevail
in the domain Of feminine hand APP
parel, gloves in soft mushroom and
apricot shades, with self-colored
on the back, are the fad of
the hour for demidress wear.
Both suede and glace gloves are !!
worn with evening dress, the former
usually with gowns like crepe de
Chine, chiffon, mousseline, kid cloth, !
ETC., the latter with lustrous satin
and rich fabrics with a glace surface.
Word comes from across the sea that
evening gloves, hand painted, with q
spray Of flowers from the shoulder
down nearly to the wrist, are one of
the fads of fashion in Paris. Some Sc
,ret mixing of the paint prevents the
heat Of the arm from affecting 1t,
and also ohyiates the possible chance
IF its cracking. The special flowers
which decorate the gown are car
RED out on the gloves. Long even
ng gloves. exquisitely embroidered
1t the top in dainty hues, are exhib-
ted to admiring feminine eyes in
Philadelphia shops. In
Iced, much decoration is bestowed
IN many Of the ultrafashionI ble
yloves in Paris intended for formal
'vening wear. Some have jewel
Narrowed satin ribbon in
more or less fanciful designs appears
Dove the elbow, and again midway
'etween elbow and wrist. A smartly
led knot of ribbon appears at the
Jack Of the arm. Occasionally tiny
wreath of violets or arbutus sprays
couples similar position on the
love; the ribbon knots are omitted;
r again, as has been already said,
he embroiderer's art is called in and
design of small delicate flowers is
'rought in silk, with spangles intro
uced. IL
Some Partisan DANES, we are also
formed, are wearing gloves of all
olors to match the gowns-purple
