NEW GLOVES LIKE CHAMOIS
MADE FROM COTTON;
SILK UNPOPULAR

This is the time Of cotton gloves and
q new kind is made which really re-
Eembles the fashionable chamois. These
IRE quite yellow and the finish is rough.
In the distance, except for their supple
ness, II is almost impossible TO tell
" whether they are the real skin or the
imitation.
Silk gloves, too, are very much worn.
although some people find that they
feel uncomfortable There was 4 time
when such gloves were made without
buttons, but nowadays they are finished
with large pearl ones or with the latest
design I'm patent clasps.
Gloves are usually sold IN five lengths.
The shortest. which reaches only to the
wrist, is called one-bUtton; halfway 70
the elbow is called eight-butJOn: Just
tC elbow is called twelve button. while
the usual long glove. which extends
above the elbow, leaving room for be-
coming wrinkles In the forearm, IS called
eishtCen-button- The fifth size is ex-
tremely long, made fer very fUIl-dress
occasions. these are called thirty-twc
button. and are generally only used for
court functions.

and there are others made Of that pref
ity dotted swiss which always falls in
such graceful lines and wears for so
long a time. Many OF them are TRIM
med with bands of material OF con-
trasting color. There are others OF
beautiful silks. and even embroidered
satins, which form the most graceful
lounging gowns imaginable. There are
pretty matrices. made OF wash ribbon
and valenciennes edging, which are be-
looming and practical. for they wash
like rags They are not very eXpens-
i've, for the strips are sewn together
by machine. while, OF course, the edges
iof both lace and ribbon are finished
fof so that there are no rough places
which are likely to ravel.

Yet ii seems to me that before the close of this session provision should be made for collecting full material which will enable the Con ercss elected next fall to act immcdi- ately after it comes into existence. This would necegsitate some action by the Congress at it's present session. perhaps in the shape Of directing the proper committee to gather the ncces- sary information. both through the committee itself and through govern ment gents who should report to the committee and should lay before it the facts which would permit it to act with prompt and intelligent fairness These government agents. if it is not deemed wise to appoint individuals from out side the public service, might with ad- vantage he members of the Executive Departments. designated hy the Pres iient. on his own motion or on the re- quest of the committee. to act with it.

Long sleeves are again a feature of some of the handsomest wedding gowns, and frequently not only the bride wears long sleeves but the bridesmaids also
 Long lines arc the most important detail of the fashionable costume at present. and to obtain such effects many resources are employed. Coat effects, tunics that hang gracefully on the figure from shoulder to a low point on the skirt. tunics with long hanging points, sashes. tabs and all the devises known to the dressmaker are brought into use.
 The latest underwear for the new tightfitting skirts beggars description. Bulkiness is reduced to a minimum and a step further will carry it out of sight entirely. IL will pay women in terested in the extremes of the styles to match the incoming French under wear this season. In Paris silk tights that fit without wrinkle are worn without petticoats under the skimpy gowns.
 A pretty brown taffeta waist to he worn with a brown voile skirt is made with d front and back yoke of ecru lace threaded with gold and brown chenille in the extreme edges. Placed over the lace allover are small gold medallions, about the size of a quar- ter. These ornaments also extend down the front of wide plait The blend- ing of gold. brown and ecru make an extremely attractive fancy waist
 Fashion now decrees that it is not necessary that the veil shall match the hat in color, which is an economy, as one veil may thus do duty with a number of different bonnets, neither harmony nor contrast appearing to be a required factor in choosing veil. In fact, judging from many of the con- binations Of hats and veils shown in shapes, clashing of colors would seem to he the desired feature.
