LEARN TO WEAR
GLOVES CORRECTLY
Many a Pretty Gown Spoiled
for Lack of Glove Wear

Gloves are very important factor or

the time. Many pretty dress has been
ruined by the gloves worn with II. all
because the wearer did not know the
etiquette. as Il were, Of glove wearing
If a few simple rules are learned the
rest comes easily. In the first place
colored gloves should be eschewed, the
term cOlOred meaning gloves of pink
blue, green, and reddish tints.
Red-brown is allowable, especially IN
winter. brown and black and gray are
always good; white Is seldom out or
place, and this year yeIlowish and pink
ish yellow gloves are considered stylish
There is no occasion and no time when
II is strictly good form and good taste
10 wear gloves OF any color save those
mentioned.
II the dress is in dark shade-green,
navy blue crimson-wear black, dark
gray or brown gloves on all ordinary Oc-
CasiOns; If the dress is in white OF some
light color, wear white or yellowish
gloves.
Not Considered DTessy.
Brown gloves are good for all tailored
suits, but they are. not considered dressy
unless the whole costume be OF the
same shade.
White gloves are always proper and
absolutely necessary with full dress-ex-
cept on rare occasions, when the cos
tune is all black
Black gloves are good style, but
rather somber for evening dress. It is
not good taste 10 wear black gloves
with white or very light dresses, partic-
ularly in summer.
YeIlowisb and niukisb yellow gloves
are much worn, but only with COlOred
dresses, and not in the evening. OF
course, white dresses demand white
gloves
Gray gloves at the moment are not
much in favor, but when they are worn
they usually accompany black tailored
suits or gray costumes, either tall
Ored or dresSy.
Not only must the color be correct
and appropriate, but the material must
also be taken into consideration.
SILK and cotton gloves are al no time
dressy, If they are worn IL should be
IN the morning with a gingham dress
or linen suit. They are allowable on a
shopping tour, for calling nothing less
than ClamOis is proper. Silk and cot
ton gloves should be chosen only in
white, black, or tan.
ChamOis Gloves Cool
ChamOis gloves are rather Informal,
though they are cool for summer. Be
sides that, they may be washed at
home. They come only in two shades
the natural and the white. and the
former is more popular this year.
Chamois gloves are worn with strictly
tailored suits. whether Of cloth or linen,
morning frocks OF pongees.
Suede gloves may be worn at any
time except for full dress. In summer
they may even serve for dressy OCCa-
sions, as they are so much cooler than
glace.
Glaze kid gloves are imperative for
full dress-eXCept in very hot weather
and may be worn with almost any
costume. Glaze kid is expensive, but Il |

OLDEST HUMAN REMAINS.
Discovery OF Bones of 10000 Years
Ago Made I'm France.
(Paris Cablegram Times. J

(Paris Cablegram Times.)
What are believed by Director Per-
ricr, Of the Paris Museum Of Nation
al History, to be the oldest human
remains in existence, have been dis
covered by two. priests at Chappele
aux Saints, in Southwestern France.
Details of the discovery made public
show that the relics consist Of the
skull and other bones.
Perrier assigns the remains of the
Pleistocene, or Glacial period, dating
back 10000 years. The skull of
this supposed earliest man shows
practically no forehead and had
several simian characteristics. But
the chin Is unlike monkeys, and
the skull, though the walls are very
thick, had greater capacity than the
monkeys. The jaw is very long and
the face could have possessed very
little mobility.
This supposed earliest man could
never have laughed.
Director Perrier read to the acad-
emy of sciences a learned paper on
the subject Of Prof. Marcelin Boulle,
geologist and plaeontologist, from
which it would appear that thu skull
is Of a form intermediary between
that of the monkey and man. The
crown resembles that Of the skull Of
gorilla, while the facial bones are
n n "a 70 80 lao
chimpanzee. The lower jaw is pro-
lOngatcd, like the muzzle Of that
animal, while the chin is retrcating
and the occipital cavity has the
zion as in the monkey.
The general character of the head,
as well as that of several Of the
limbs, found among the debris un-
carthed by the two priests, tend to
prove that the creature must have
had some difficulty in standing up
right. Bouellc concludes that owing
to the evident size and development
of the brain the animal belongs to
the human race.
This alleged fossil man was found
in Pleistocene formation in the up
per layer of the r ctiary beds-that It
is to say, he belongs to the epoch of
| the mammoth.
The skull is extraordinarily like
| the famous skull discovered about
| the middle of the last century at
Ncanderthal, Germany.
