Washington, Feb. 14.-Representa-
tive Tawney today expressed himself in
sympathy with some Of the things said
by Major Hale in recent letter to
The ournal, relative to the made

lie with the committee Of appropria-
tions, but with the postoffice commit

KID CLOVES.

The color. the fit and the care Of the
glove are the distinguishing marks OF
refinement IL the toilet. \ gaudy red,
green OF purple glove is never in good
custom OF wearing white gloves with
taste. The same can be said with thA
green gowns. The incongruity of hang
ing to dusty straps in street car, or
carrying packages or parcels in white
gloved hands hardly needs pointing out.
The number Of hopelessiy soiled gloves
that one sees in a half day outing is
enough to make any careful woman dis
card that luxury forever. Can anything
be more distasteful than a soiled. once
white glove?
A tan colored glove goes well with
almost any costume. and a black or
brown glove suits all dark hued street
suits
II is a fact generally admitted that
the hand looks smalled when darkly
gloved.
The quality Of kid is also an impor-
tant matter 10 consider in connection
with gloves. Poor kid is expensive at
any price.
Sometimes finger or thumb is nom
elastic. hence each glove should be
thoroughly inspected before purchasing
Select those that are broad enough for
the hand. else the palm may split upon
the first uial or the wrist prove too
small Should the fingers be slightly
long, let the tips extend; 10 crowd on
the extra length will cause wrinkling.
Great care shoulc be taken. however. TO
avoid the extending of the tip of the
glove over the fingers. as nothing So
completely apoiis the appearance of the
hand.
How to put on gloves is an art not
generally understood. Should the hands
be moist. first wash and dry them well
and either moisten and dry again with
weak solution of alum, or dust With
talcum powder. In winter warm the KID
by the fire. then double pack the wrist
of the left hand glove and insert the
fingers, not the thumb. gently and slow

Now insert the thumb. turn the wrist
over and slowly and patiently work
finger and thumbs until the kid is all
in place without twist or wrinkle. To
pull by the wrist of the glove-which IS
the weakest parts to insure stretching
or breakage. TO be a successful fit. the
glove should not be too small. That not
