The meaning Of the three marks on
the back of glove and the clocks on
a stocking were two of the little mys-
teries of dress explained at lecture
on clothes In London. The lecturer
said that the three marks on the back
of glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers, and in old
en- days these pieces were continued
along the back of the hand, braid be-
ing used to conceal the seams. A
somewhat similar origin was assign
ed to the ornamental clock on the
stocking, In the days when stockings
were made of cloth the seams came
where the clocks do now, the orna-
mentation then being used to hide the
seams. The useless little bow in the
leather band lining mans hat is a
survival of the time when a hat was
made by taking piece of leather, bor-
ing two holes through 1t and drawing
