Of the long gloves at the tea tables.
Buttered toast and mullins cannot be
handled with impunity with gloves
| on, and yet gloves OF Is not at all the
thing with arms bare to the elbow.
But how can prudent belle let four
dollar pale grey or cream-cOlOred
gloves be sacrificed to Dame Grundy.
The only way Is to slip the small fin-
gers and thumbs out of their cover
ing to the wrist and then tucking the
superfiuous suede neatly back partake
comfortably Of the necessary refresh
ment.
II reports from Paris are correct
the elbow sleeve Is on the wane. The
three-quarters sleeve is really the
latest favOrite and has been generally
adopted by those who dislike extremes.
The past few warm days have
brought to light the newest thing in
the way of a wrap. If bit of cloud
or piece of the rainbow can be called
a covering. OF course. winter gar
ments have entirely disappeared, but
a cape or bolero would seem neces-
sary. Not 30. says my lady, who
throws over her pretty shoulders a
lace or gauze creation and declares
herself very comfortable indeed. One
is tempted to think 1t the comfort
that every woman feels who is pref
tily adorned in the newest and best
These shoulder scarfs apd petite
shawls are really very becoming and
some of them do add just the little
extra warmth and protection needed
on the public promenade.
There are some charming neck ruffs
shown of white malines, plated thick
ly and hanging over the shoulders,
with many long loops of white ribbon
where they fasten In front. The scarfs
are after all the real favorites, es-
pecially with the younger set. These
scarfs have been very popular all win
ter, but the spring and summer crea-
tons are somewhat different Almost
all show hand work in some form,
many being embroidered after the
fashion of the old-time crepe shawls.
Only the ends of these scarfs are thus
adorned, the pattern being sprigs or
vines that point upward. They are
finished with knotted fringe or with
hem-stitching.
Black scarfs for elderly ladies are
lightened> with glittering black span
giles, or for mourning are embroidered
richly and heavily. One of these
graceful little protectors was worn at
one of the tea rooms by one of the
middle-aged leaders of society, a ma
iron whose belledom has not waned
even with whitening hair. She was
gowned all in gray and her shoulders
were daintily outlined by a scarf of
pearl-grey liberty gauze. 1t was quite
yard wide and more than four yards
long. The edges were finished with
a border of grey ostrich feathers. 1t
blended in effect perfectly with the
dress of grey broadcloth and mousse
line de sole. The skirt was gathered
at the waistline and over the hips in
close rows of shirring. The waist
was almost entirely Of the mousseline
de sole. The cloth girdle was fastened
by tiny rosettes held in place by cut
steel buttons. The hat was of grey
straw, wide brimmed and high crown
ed with loops Of grey ribbon, all COW
cred by an exquisitely embroidered
white lace veil. dropping over the
brim a little with the ends and falling
low at the back. She was a picture.
The bolero Jacket. however, is by
no means discarded. though bolero
and scarf must not be worn together.
There is a sort of bolero cape which
Is stylish and it Is also suitable.
combination not always achieved. The
bolero cape is really yoke with plait-
ings stretching across the shoulders.
across the bust and the back, and
reaching from under the arms to the
waistline. The real bolero. however,
is sleeveless jacket and it is more
for beauty than use.
Avery unique gown was finished by
bolero of most original design, made
of inch-wide ribbon woven into lattice
work. On every crossing of the rib
bon was placed a small fiat grey cro-
Chef button. The ribbon, by the way,
was grey satin. OF course, between
the crossings the bolero was open.
the squares thus formed being quite
large, and the blouse showing through
from beneath 1t was of palest grey
chiffon and the effect was lovely. The
skirt of the gown was of grey pea
spotted mousseline de sole with nine
inch wide founce Of the ribbon-lattice
at the hem.
Another Attractive costume was Of
old-roser crepe de chine with lace
bodice and sleeves dyed to match. The
monotony of color was broken by a
narrow belt Of black velvet not more
than IN inches wide, knotted in front.
Over the shoulders and arms was
worn long scarf of black mousseline
.de sole deeply fyilled across the ENDS.
These narrow belts are more and
more in favor and are to supplant the
girdle for street wear. Young women
take very kindly to this fashion and
affect particularly the very narrow
patent feather found only, in the
SWEETEST shops. They are perfectly
plain. an inch and half wide, with
a plain square gold buckle ID the
front, with gold slide at the side. A
debutante wore one Of these belts
with stylish blue serge street suit,
with a blouse Of fine white linen. The
skirt was cut with flare and short
enough to show the pretty patent
leather shoes. Her hat was a white
sailor with white band and quill.
