The styles in gloves are scheduled to
change along with the styles of gowns
and hats. The new gloves show a
good many innovations over the prod
ucts of a year ago. Except for black
costumes where an all-black scheme IS
desired black gloves are not much
used. Plain white gloves, also. are
less in evidence than they used to be;
loo A h
soft pastel shades, such as pigeon gray,
fawn and champagne. are especially
popular. SUICIDES are liked better than
the glace kid. This is true probably
because a smarter fit can be obtained
in that variety With the continued
shortening of sleeves. more 12-button
lengths than any other style are sold.
White gloves with black stitching for
black and white combination costumes
are good For the street. with plain
taiIor-made gowns, broad, four-row
stitching in self tones are considered
correct. At least, that is what the wise
ones say, and so go around saying 1t
too.
A case that has been running along
for a number of years is reported to
be gaining velocity by the force of its
momentum. There is a rumor that it's
nearing the terminal. which means
y
here and a striking-looking girl with
auburn hair from another state are
going to be happy forever and ever.

Naples and Rome. That the small
boys of their native town are not pres
ent to thrown cannon firecrackers I'M
DER their feet, must be matter of
Keen regret to them. They are trying
out the new scheme of a sane Fourth,
andSthe only way they have to help
their Uncle Samuel celebrate his birth
day is to go about quietly wearing the
small flags they took with them. But
TO spend Independence day so far
from the basic principles of our Amer

Oh Herington and Mrs. Peterson.
