ABOUT THE GLOVES
TO SAVE EXPENSE AND HAVE
NEAT APPEARANCE.
First EFT" Has Much TO Do with the
Life OF These important Dress
Aeeessories-Proper Way
TO Mend.

In the first place, the "fit' has a
good deal to do with the life of a
glove. and so. for this reason alone. It
viii be worth while paying extra for a
pair that will be fitted to the hands
rather than buying haphazard cheap
er pair
Fat fingers can not be forced into
gloves cut for slender ones without
bursting at the second wearing
\ well-ftting glove will be perfectly
easy on the hand. yet show no wrinkle
anywhere. and to be too large is quite
as bad as being too small. for. while
the tighter glove will be no more apt
TO crack or split. the looser one will
become shabby sooner.
Having exercised care In selecting
gloves, the same should be studied in
keeping them in good condition. The
we'll known glove mending sets are an
aid to this and means OF keeping all
the necessary articles together, for il
often happens that one might mend
gloves in less time than is consumed
In looking up the necessary articles.
A set of this kind includes threads
OF every wanted shade arranged in the
form Of a broad braid. a small pair OF
scissors. an emery and an enameled
darner. \ small ball is attached to
one end OF the darner, at the other is
an egg-shaped knob. This is used
when repairing rips in the fingers, the
ball being inserted to help in repairing
hole. Cotton is always used for
mending gloves Of kid or of Isle
thread. but a silk glove mender set
comes for silk gloves.
Needles are not included. but they
may be bought separately. For re-
pairing Isle thread or silk gloves any
ordinary sewing needle may be used.
but the kid ones will be mended
much heater IL a special needle that
comes for the purpose is used
From the eye half way downward
the needle differs in no way from
other sewing needles, but the point
half has three sides instead OF being
round. This makes a smaller hole
than the round needle. and as the
thread employed is so very fine IL
does not I'LL up the hole formed BY the
round needle passing through. So ii
is best to use the glove or fur needle.
They are about the same thing.
Rips in the seams of gloves are al
ways repaired on the right side, with
an oyerhanded stitch that is perfectly
simple. Supposing one does not pos
sess a darner. then IL is better to in
sert a finger than to hold the glove
to be mended in the hand. The seam
will be fatter and more flexible, while
repaired without such aid the result
is apt to be botch.

Correct Ccrsess.

Nothing can be more absurd than
to see, as one constantly does, a short,
stout woman. who by the aid OF
straight fronted corsets, has succeed.
ed in so lengthenlng her waist line as
10 get 1t apparently just midway be.
tween her toes and her shoulders. To
begin with. this really is not good
style. as the tendency OF the moment
rather Is towards the high wasted
effect Of the empire. At the same time.
this Is a season of large liberty in
ones choice in dress. and a well balanc-
ed figure-tall and slim, and yet well
rounded. being favorably suited by a
long wasted effect-can and wisely
does secure that end. The short. stout
woman should strive to establish a
proper proportion between the upper
and lower parts OF her figure. She
should not allow her things to be
made too tight. nor her small stature
to be overpowered by large hat.
