GLOVE LORE

COlored gloves have enjoyed a fair
amount Of popularity with American
women, though they never gained favor
on the other side OF the water. The re-
vulsion against the cOlored glove is
now pronounced and the modish woman
gives strong preference to the black
glace kids
Cape gloves OF Russian skins with
prichcd seams and one clasp are first
choice for street wear with many OF
tie best-dressed women.
Soft gauntlet gloves OF mocha fitted at
the wrist with an elastic and with the
gauntlet lined with sotc Kid OF another
color are exceedingly nOdish.
The English walking glove holds its
own amidst the various novelties shown
on the counters tiny pocket in the
palm of the glove Is an innovation
which will commend Itself 10 the busy
woman who patronizes street cars.
As long as we have short sleeves we
will have long gloves which are pre-
ferred in glace kid IN either white or
black For the summer season long
silk gloves will be again in favor and
this year they are further elaborated by
embroidery and applique
Lace insets in gloves Of soft suede
are a pretty novelty More elaborate is
the heavy embroidery done in spangies
An economy that commeuds itself TO
the practical Is the separate glove top
which Will Outlast many pairs OF short
gloves These tops button at the wrist
and the Join is readily concealed in the
folds.
Pearl clasps are often seen on light
weight walking gloves, though small
buttons are preferred
Stitching of contra sting color, as in
favor a few years ago. is promised a
new vogue.
An aceessory which has come in with
the long glove is the glove garter or
arm bracelet II is usually OF moire
ribbon with tiny gold slide and stud
ded buckle. though they e-re also shown
Sf fancy ribbon and lace. For the
eibow-length glove the bracelet may be
supplemented by frill OF plated
chiffon.

KEEP YOUNG
Avoid Habits Which Help One to Grow
Old

Nearly everyone INDUCES in habits
that help them 70 grow Old They usu-
ally pander 10 temporary comfort. at
the cost Of youthful appearance. and
often of health itself. II is comfort
ing to feel the glowing heat of the fire
on hsif-frozen checks. But the delicate
skin Of the face suffers thereby. The
habit of sitting in front Of the FIRE will
destroy the best of compilations. The
skin becomes dry, Just as it does in old
age. making lines and wrinkles
People who have fine. broad chests
and active lungs are always the last
TO grow old. II is evident. therefore.
that all habits which tend To con-
tract the chest must be avoided For
sewing or reading, a low chair should
be chosen, so that the feet may rest
firmly on the floor In this way the
lungs are not compressed. When not
used to sitting erect there will be at
first a tendency to stiffen the muscles.
which will prove fatiguing. 1t is the
highest art Of physical culture which
enables one TO be erect and vet re-
laNed: This condition comes only by
practice.
Another ally TO Father Time is the
frowning habit A discontented express
sion. a habitual drawing down of the
corners of the mouth in firm thought,
the biting Of the Hps-all these little
mannerisms draw certain lines into the
face. Almost before one ia aware the
lines have become permanent.
Every effort should be made 20 calm
the nerves. Irritability is one OF the
surest signs of old age When annoy
ances arise in household or social af-
fairs, cultivate a spirit OF calm toler-|
alton II will be surprising TO find how
after the hrst moment of struggle the
annoyances seem slight. This irritabiI-
ity affects the gait. If one would re-
tain the buoyant. elastic step of youth
think about II while young Do not
Bang the pavement with the heels at
each step. Let the steps be taken from
the hips instead OF from the knees
The shoulders should not move but the
entire body must be relaxed and so will
sway slightly with each step.
Old age is not betrayed by the face
nearly so much as by the figure and
general compartment. These latter ar,
wholly within ones own hands and
even the appearance Of the face can be
controlled to great degree.

Hints for Wives

Never tell your husband that you give
him this or that for dinner, and not
what ne asks for. because YOU know
what is best for him. A man will will
ingly yield TO the woman he loves. he
will make any sacrifice she may require.
but he generally draws the line at being
told what is good for him. OF this he
will beg to remain the best Judge. and
tell YOU so frankly and firmly. Never
complain Of your husband because he
now and then criticises your dress o.
Your new hat. On the contrary, return
grateful thanks that he takes notice OF
what you wear There are husba ndS
who allow their wives perfect freSdoni
IN this respect. for the simple reason

D,vs of Home. Made Clothes.

my great-grandfather Richard Hale
wrote to his sons Enoch and Nathan,
who were students at Yale College, to
instruct them about their new winter s
clothing. He and their brothers, their
mother and their sisters had all been
at work for the cloth, and now he
says if one of them can get leave 10
ride over from New Haven to Coventry
he can be measured for the winter out
fit for both and the clothei sEall be
made ready on the farm.

No Need For Nvine.Bibbers.

When it comes to this, that an officer
of the United States Army, or soldier
in the ranks, cannot get along without
the use of liquor, either in the car'-
teen or out of it, it is time to take the
shoulder straps off him and send hin
home. There is no need for Wine
bibbers in the army. Good discipline.
As we'll as good morals. demand the
banshment Of intoxicants. If these
men. who have been educated at pub
lie expense. who are maintained out
of the public treasury, have no regard
for the sentiment Of the Nation which
has hOnored them and entrusted them
with high and important duties in
regard to the public welfare, tho VA
ton should admit that its confidence
has been misplaced, that it has made
a mistake in regard to its selection of
men, and send them home. An officer
who will lead his men into temptation
will lead his country into trouble. 1t
is time to call for total abstinence from
Intoxicating drinks as a beverage in
the United States Army. If there were
fewer liquor drinking officers the Ma
ton would not be disgusted and dis
graced by Taggart trials and the rancid
conditions Of affairs which they reveal.

A Double Spell.

Alcohol exercises a double spell over
its victims 1t is first nerve ticker,
creating felicitous sensations; later,
when its consequent effect appears. it
becomes a comforter. putting to sleep
all the body sentinels-pain, hunger
and every sort of bodily distress. Even
the upbraidings OF conscience are
stifed by the anesthetic spell which
this competent drug casts over its un-
fortunate victims. The only safe place
for the boy. girl, man or woman is
that of harmony with nature. which
means to be in harmony with Gods
laws. Into this refuge the victim o.
intemperance may run and be safe;
and every boy is proof against the al
lurements of the intoxicating cup so
long as he remains in the stronghold OF
simplicity and naturalness.-Voice.

A well-known French ophthalmoio-
gist. who had the misfortune to be-
come blind several years ago, did not
permit this calamity to interfere with
a scientific study of reading and writ
ing, but led him to investigate reading
by the blind, employing the Braille, or
raised, type. He found that the tactile
acuity Of the blind was actually less
than that of normal persons, and that
few, even those born blind, are able
to attain a speed of 100 words a
minute III reading. or of ten words q
minute in writing. One finger Is US
ually employed for reading, being edu-
Gated for this purpose; and while 9TH
crs may be more sensitive, yet they are
not useful for this purpose. The read
ing finger tires very easily, and it is
this fact that initiates against easy
reading by the blind. d.-Harper's Weekly.

All the old-fashioned colored cham
breys and ginghams are here for every
day frocks. They will be far more
stylish than dark skirts and White
blouses. The plaid cottons will be
given very good trial, though many
Of them will not wash. The separate
skirt and waist-that is, of different
color-will not be worn except in the
house. White duck. cottonette and
Indian head skirts, win blouses or
fine fabrics. will hold their own, but
for office and shopping and for train
wear the dull colored cotton fabrics
will be used. These need not be made
with any trimming. Simplicity is often
the best result. The addition of
turnover linen collar and wide cuffs
with a cravat Of colored silk gives
just the right touch.
