TAKING CARE
OF GLOVES

Gloves demand much care and a great
deal of trouble will be averted If they
are carefully examined when being
bought. Each finger should be looked
over lest broken stitches should be there.
and IL the thread pulls away from the
kid, leaving white spot. the gloves will
not wear we'll
When the glove stretches easily and
seems elastic. the kid is of good quality,
but If il is stiff and unyielding it will
neither fit nor will it wear we'll.
Always get a glove large enough. If
they are so narrow as to require stretch
ing they will never look as well as if
the hand was the first strctche-. If
they are short fingered, they convert the
hand into a positive deformity, ana do
not wear half as long as when they are
the proper size.
A great deal depends upon how The
gloves are put on the first time. The
hands should be dry and cool. if they
are at all moist, they should be well
powdered. First. work on the fingers.
keeping the thumb outside the glove.
When the thumb is put in. place the
elbow on the knee and work the glove
down smoothly. Button the second but
ton first, and so on to the top. leaving
the frat button till the last. This may
seem a little thing, but 1T makes con-
siderable difference in the appearance
and fit of the glove. The greatest strain
is on the first button, and when this IS
partially relieved by the buttoning or
the buttons the drawing of seams, tear
ing OF kid or enlarging Of buttonholes Is
prevented.
When removing gloves never begin at
the tips of the fingers to pull them on.
Turn back the wrist and draw them OF
wrong side out. Before putting them
away turn them right side out and
smooth out lengthwise- Never roll them
up tightly, ore inside of the other, as
whatever moisture may have gathered
from the hands dries in tbs way and
makes the kid stiff and hard. Strips OF
canton flannel are good TO lay away
between gloves.

nicely, but If much soiled It is better

color. Where black kid gloves have be-

TAILOR GOWN IN BLUE CLOTH
WITH VEST OF PlSTACHE GREEN
Smart Costume for Spring
Wear, the Bolero Jacket
Being Unusually Chic and
Becoming to Many.

However much we may lean toward
the full gowns and artistic styles in
vogue just now. in this climate wo-
men cannot get along without a tailor
costume. and for the trig. smart ap-
pearance which many women aspire TO,
and all men admire. nothing is quite
so effective as the tailor gown. perfect
fitting and well turned out.
IL Is a joy forever. if not q thing Of
beauty, and that is something which
cannot be said of the more fussy femi-
nine gowns so much in vogue at present.
Our illustration shows smart cos
tune for spring wear in town. and al
though plain. the little vest, collar and
cuffs brighten it up wonderfully.
The original from which this gown
was sketched was of herringbone tweed
in hussar blue. the vest collar and far
ing cufr being of pistache green cloth,
any suspicion Of hardness in the con-
trast being removed by the light cloth
being trimmed with little strappings of
shaded green silk braid. touched with
silver and tiny square gold buttons.
The bOlero is a new model and very
smart, and the deep girdle is fastened
by dull silver buckle
With this gown is worn a toque Of
blue rough straw, the stiff little feather
ornament at the side being Of green,
like the trimming.

Those Full Sleeves.

We certainly have reached the limit
in the matter OF sleeves. We have more
goods in them now than we had ten
years ago. when we wore, crinoline in
them to distend them and when il took
almost as much goods to make a pair
of sleeves as it did 10 make the whole
of the rest of the gown.
The feminine contingent may thank its
lucky stars that the sleeves of today, If
as exaggerated in style as that other
fashion, are far more graceful They
are usually tight at the armhoIe and
at the wrist, and have their fullness
about the elbow. They are not as hard
TO cram into coats as the crinolined ones,
hut there Is still enough of fullness about
them TO make the disposal OF il a sub
Ject OF moment TO the men who have
10 help put on wraps. Luckily. the coat
sleeves are so ample, and there is room
for packing away.
One Of the things worth mentioning
about the new sleeves is that men do
moi like them Aside from their being
troublesome in this matter OF putting
them into coats. the masculine critics
claim that II gives a woman very
abnormal outline 10 have a bunch of
stun'-the description is a mans own
hanging from the elbow. Ii makes her
waist look large, they say and her
shoulders corrcspOndingly narrow When
the sleeves We're large and pulled at
the shoulder. they add, the effect was
not so bad. since IL apparently increased
the size of the shoulders. And really,
when one comes to think of 1t, large
elbows are not desirable, and thick
waists. whether real or apparent, are
not beautiful.

To Cleanse the
Face Thoroughly

Do you know how to wash your face
properly? What an impertinent ques-
ton, you say, yet as matter OF fact
very few women do know how, and
many but rarely have cleansed their
faces thoroughly
You do not get your face clean when
you use real nice soap and warm water.
If you think you do just rub some cold
cream over your complexion after you
have been through the ablution-and
then take a soft linen towel and gently
rub the cold cream of You'll find the
towel carries away a lot OF CRIME.
You'll be surprised-and just a bit
ashamed-when you discover that after
having bathed your face good and
proper it wasn't clean. But, be sure,
the cream fixed up your countenance
spick and span.
always use the distilled soft water, If
you can get it. If you can't. put half
teaspoonfui of borax in three quarts
of warm water. II Will soon dissolve.
Then with a soft cloth wash your race,
using a best quality of soap that agrees
with your complexion. Dry the face,
gently with soft towel Rinse the
soap of with water in which there Is
a bag filled with equal parts or almond
meal and barley -four.
" hen your face IS perfectly dry, with
a soft towel dab all over it some bora
ciseo alcohol This lotion is made in
the proportion Of a teaspoonful OF the
powdered boracic acid 10 six ounces 81
alcohol This lotion should be kept In
bottle as a tonic TO strengthen the
muscles, stimulate circulation, and to
make the flesh firm
After the alcohol treatment apply colo
cream and gently massage the face
Then aust it over with excellent toilet

TAN SHOES ARE
AGAIN IN VOGUE

Tan shoes, banished from the shop
windows and generally out of favor
for the last two seasons, have come
back upon the very top wave of popu-
larity. and the woman VITO makes a
point of the harmonious in ner toilettes
viii welcome their return with JOY.
The black tie of calf or patent leathe.
is perhaps better adapted 10 the town
with its grimy pavements, but IL be-
comes easily dusty and shabby after a
walk on country roads. One of the
advantages of the tan shoe is that II
grows more smart with renewed polish
ings, and the glazed surface thus pro-
duced sheds dust more easily than the
polished calf There is always a cool,
dainty. fresh look upon the russell shoe,
ana 1t is admirably adapted to wear
with the pongee colorings in vogue this
season.
The tan shoes come in a variety Of
styles and shades-in high shoes, low
shoes. and in slippers-with stockings
to match exactly, They are seen In
dark russell brown, in reddish tan, In
light cafe au lait, and linen coiors, in
Russian leather, in suede, In a light
leather resembling pigskin, in kangaroo
leather. and even I'm pongee itself, and
in combinations of light brown leather
with white. The Butcher cut is much
in favor, and many ties of a low cut
still fasten with large bow or gros
grain ribbon on the insteD.
But the large colonial buckles aac no
longer the thing. In cut all the summer
shoes show an increasing inclination
TO the feminine toe. The extension
sole has shrunk 70 the smallest posi-
tenGency TO return to the pointed toe

After the design is made. place over

Observations of Peggy.

Just why,so many women display bad
manners when away from home, and
are perfectly well bred in their own
homes Is one OF the things that l am
unable to fathom, but the fact remains,
and 1 presume it can only be accounted
for by assuming that the apparent good
breeding is little more than skin deep.
while the real nature, which is III
hammered and coarse. goes to the bone.

country or IN a foreign element than
elsewhere
The English-speaking race is nothing
If not aggressive. and We all go about
with the idea that we are conquerors
and made OF a little finer material than
any other race now living.
Consequently, there Is a tendency to
