THE NO GLOVE MOVEMENT.
Rings With Large Settings RESPONSE.
bic For Change.

VIC fof NfidfI9S'
There is an old saying that French
woman dons her gloves in the privacy
of her boudoir, an Englishwoman while
coming down the stairs, and the Ameri-
can tugs on her gloves when halfway
down the street And if this is so it
would appear as though for once the
Parisians are initiating their American
contemporaries.
The no glove fashion is particularly
noticeable in Paris, where many smart
women are carrying their gloves in
their hands instead of putting them on.
The gloves they carry are exceedingly
fine suede ones in beautiful tints of bis
cult, ecru and tan.
For some little time past women have
been fouting the old memorable law
that the hands should be covered in
the evening, and at the theaters and
the less ceremonious parties the wear
ing of gloves has been on the decrease.

ago were exceedingly modish. These

The reason assigned for the no glove
movement Is the fact that rings with

WATER SOFTENER TO

The water softener system bought
