THE MATTER OF GLOVES
=, 10 not wear black boots with grey silk dress,
II you are woman who can afford to be elegant
In matters of dress. You may wear tan colored
boot; II the costume is intended for house wear.
d low snoe IN tan with light blue bow will
make most fetching accessory TO your attire.
AS 10 your gloves, see that they come well be-
10" the hand, If your coat is made with long
sleeves, In order that they may not form an alb
rupt rne below the wrist. Do not wear them
700 tight hitting, If you would avoid having YOUR
hahds and fingers look swollen. In this respect
men show much more common sense than women.
~ seluoih meet man who wears his gloves too
tignt, ana never one who has to sit down To
work the fingers on" before he goes out
lou are naturally just as anxious to have small
hahus as you are to have small feet but in the
one case just as in the other it is advisable to
use common sense IN the attainment of your de.
sire 1ou can decrease the apparent size of
your hand by means of the color of vour olove
but you can never do so by wearing a glove too
small for you.
Lghtcolored gloves increase the apparent size
OF the hand because they attract the eve The
lady who goes to church in her new bottle green
suit imagines that she looks more stvlsh with
white gloves on than she would have looked had
she worn gloves to match her suit The misguid-
ed creature does not realize that pair of bottle
green gloves would have distracted attention from
her hands, and that even had anyone looked at
ner hands, the green gloves would have made
them appear as they really were, that is, in cor
rect proportion to the rest of her body.
Inc straw colored gloves, so popular this sea-
son, should for this reason be worn onlv bv
women with very small hands, for contrasted
with dark colored suit, they have the effect
of making the hands look enormous OF course
if worn with dress of like COLOR they do not
have this effect, for then the hands are lust as
conspicuous they ought tc be-
In order TO make a large hand inconspicuous
wear nothing but quiet or neutral colored
glove. Of course, for evening wear, dark
glove would not only be inappropriate but nv
its color would, in contrast to the light color of
the gown, make the hand appear larger. In this
case, light gloves reduce the apparent size of
the hand.
kid gloves appears to have such gigantic hands
The color of the gloves is in such startling con-
trast to the rest Of his costume that you cannot
help looking at his hands, of seeing them out
OF all proportion to the rest of his body.
If you wear elbow gloves get the kind that
wrinkle all the way up No matter how plump
your arms may be, tight fitting glove is an
eyeSore.
Take care also, that your glove hides the ugly
bone at the elbow. Even if you have dimple
there when the arm is held straight, do not wear
your gloves that they end just at elbow, for you
must remember that your arm is going to be
bent most of the time Do not rely on rufhes to
hide this bone for you are liable to raise your
arms sometime-as for instance when you put
your hat on-and then the ruffes will fall back
As final suggestion word of advice about
buttons This may seem to you unnecessary but
if you will just take look at the hands and feet
of the women you meet in the course of half an
hours walk through the shopping section of this
city, you will realize how necessary such a warn
ing is And you must remember, my dear lady,
that in his estimate of woman man is largely
influenced by the number of buttons that are
missing on her gloves al shoes,
