that the possessor of the normal eye

New Gloves
For Old

T IKE everything else in life. there is
q right way and wrong way even
In glove mending. If the unstitching is
at the top of the fingers look carefully
how the other seams are sewed up, then
place the kid in its natural position,
the two raw edges quite close together
and, taking very fine needle and silk
to match the color Of the glove, go in
and out of the original little holes. The
two last points are most important, as
the good or bad result Of glove mend
ing depends almost entirely on match
ing the color of the silk well with that
of the glove and putting the needle in
exactly the same little holes. The
stitch is an imitation of machine stitch
obtained by fine back stitch.
Certain makes of gloves, instead OF
having the two raw edges brought to-
gether, have one side hemmed over the
other and then stitched as the first one
described, with a row of back stitch
ing, leaving only one raw edge to be
seen. Most French gloves have two
raw edges brought together and finely
overstitched crossways. and, although
this requires little patience, the re-
suit is most satisfactory. First sew
over and over In slanting stitch, then
cross over each slanting stitch, making
separate cross stitches, then finish by
pressing the work done under a row Of
fine back stitching. A quicker way of
doing this is simply to overcast in fine.
but really strong silk, as the exposed
nature of the work makes 1t wear out
very quickly.
The girl with long fingers should buy
her kid gloves carefully. An easy 1T
ting glove means a glove which will
have a long life, while i'll fitting ones
are often as harmful as they are I'M
comfortable. Fortunately glovemakers
of the present day appreciate this as
much as we do. and 1t is not only pos
sible for the long fingered girl to OBJ
tain comfortable gloves, but provision
is made for Short, fat" fingers also.
However. whether gloves fit easily or
not, they invariably end by wearing
out at the finger tips.
If the tear is a small one the hole
can be mended very neatly by catching
the two edges and buttonholing them
together on the wrong side of the
glove. Often the glove is badly worn
and all the fingers in a bad condition.
1t is then better to just clip the tops
and hem the finger tips. If, however.
the tips are past mending turn the
gloves inside out and, after cutting the
tops off, work in close buttonhole
+ stitches round and round, tightening
the stitches when you get near the top.
| then decreasing until you can just
close it right up. This can also be done
very neatly with a crochet hook and
some strong silk or twist and, If well
! done, looks exactly like the top of pat
| termed tip gloves. This answers quite
well for kid gloves. but is. however,
more practical for those In Isle thread.

For Fair Motorists

Several innovations have occurred
lately in connection with motoring
headgear. more especially in respect Of
the veil. Now that the season is ad-
vancing for throwing open the popular
landaulet or dispensing with the hood
the shielding veil is again called into
requisition. A capital notion inaugu-
rated by a leading motoring house
shows the veil passed either side under
an ornamental slide or buckle, which
serves equally we'll whether the fore
part of the veil is worn over the face
or thrown back. Another equally prac-
teal suggestion is disclosed in a drawn
silk motoring hat in which a large
hook takes the place of the erstwhile
inadequate safety pin. The style of
the hat is eminenty right, the shape
effectually covering up the hair while
leaving the face exposed. frequently a
great relief in the warm weather and
almost essential in the case of the wo-
man who drives herself.

SEASONABLE IACES

Queen Mary some time ago gave or
ders for the small village Of Shaldon. in
Devon. to furnish a supply of beautiful
lace for trimming her coronation robes.
Shaldon folk have been famous for
making this kind Of lace for several
decades.
A Dublin firm Of much em4nence then
also received royal orders to send a
supply of the finest Irish lace for simi-
lar purposes. while third supply has
been bought for the queens use from
the St Helena government lace school,
which was established about three
years ago by the League of Empire.
On the beautiful honfton laces Queen
Mary has set the seal of her approval
by ordering q honiton hounce for the
adornment OF her coronation gown and
choosing also q hontton fan to be
carried on some important state occa-
sions. The fine Irish crochet laces and
the laces from Limerick and Carriclz-
macross offer an endless variety of de-
sign. while the Buckinghamshire edg-
ings and insertions are worthy Of ali
admiration.
Owing to Queen MaryS penchant for
Irish crochet it is safe to predict that
1t will be extensively worn. 1t VIII be
recalled that only a few seasons ago
1t was anathema to mingle different
laces in one dress. Today the reverse
is the case. In an advance model gown
in the atelter of a we'll known Partisan
couturiere no fewer than four distinct
kinds were noticeable. The lower por-
ton Of the corsage and train was Of
Italian h1let lace. reminiscent of cur
tain lace, in the design of which Noah's
ark animals, birds and fishes were in
troduced. The dress proper was OF
valenciennes lace. with broad hem OF
point de venise. This lace also formed
the lower part of the sleeves and up
per part Of the corsage, the upper por-
ton of the sleeves and vest being OF
malines lace.

is that the more you try to mend the
tear the worse it becomes. In France
they mend them in this way: They
take a very fine needle indeed, the
finest that can be induced to take the
silk through, and buttonhole the raw
edges all round, doing this very closely
and taking as little as possible of the
kid. but nevertheless sufficient to give
the stitches a firm hold. When this
has been done commence the button
holing again. taking up this time. in

the center it is wise to put a few more
rows Of stitching. as this relieves the
tension caused by the original tear. 1t
may then be fastened off. and If the
silk with which the mending Is done is
a good match it will be almost fmpos-
sible to tell the difference.
When buttons are lost 1t is a mistake
to replace them by others which will
contrast with those that remain. A
far better plan Is to buy a fresh set
and put new ones on The seams of
all gloves should be attended to from
time to time, as nothing looks so bad
as a portion of white hand or finger
bursting through a crack.
