ABOUT GLOVES AND Wells

part OF the costume, from the bypaths
Of rural free delivery to 9th avenue.
Every woman snatches some kind Of q
veil and puts 1t on, more or less badly.
Only a few American women have
learned the art Of adjusting it. Paris
was supposed to be the fountainhead
Of wells. and 1t must be admitted that
the Parisienne knew how to put them
on better than any woman in the world,
but she seems to care nothing more
about them.
Wells are sold in the shops and at the
milliners, but one does not see them in
Paris, or at any of the resorts. The
tulle hat which Is generally worn has
been offered as an excuse for the alb
sence of the. veil, yet / remember how
few women wore them at Trouville last
summer when the tulle hat was not so
fashionable as now.
One sees In the shops several atroci-
ties In wells which were intended to dis
figure the features and partially con-
ceal them: but fortunately these are not
notice them on the class that dresses in
an exaggerated manner to draw attention
to it's members. The face is left un-
covered, unless one might call a heavy
white powder a covering. One does not
see paint on French woman's cheeks:
she leaves that to the Anglo-Saxon. who
does 1t more than any other civilized
woman Of the day.
Tulle Hats Everywhere.
The fashion for the tulle hat was not
exaggerated by rumor It is amazingly
In evidence everywhere. It Is made Of
black and white net, sometimes 1t is
trimmed, but often 1t is not, and 1t has
a new way of standing straight away
from the face instead of dropping down
near It. There are few women who
can wear Hopping brim that has no
regular line, and therefore they find the
hat with It's abrupt. Understanding brim
much more becoming. This is a larger
edition OF the small hat than has been
seen for two years.
White tllle leads in millinery, and even
when straw foundation is used the
pleatings of white tulle are mounted on
1t, and sometimes there are huge but
terfiies OF tulle placed on top Of the
crown.

Special Correspondence or The Star.
PARIS, August ~. 1913.
For two years there has been q protest
against wearing gloves in the evening,
mainly because women have gone back
to the other centuries and learned how
lovely it is to show well Kept hand
with a few well chosen jewels on 1t.
There was no use in having rings,
women argued, unless they could show
them at the opera or the theater ana
balls. AS white gloves were the only
accepted ones, the aspect OF the mana
and arm was not pleasing after the hrst
hour, for the glove was soiled ana the
costume marred.
It was bad enough to hide the rings
Of other days when the art Of gemsettlng
had been forgotten, and women put much
money into big stones caught with Facets
Of gold which stood out from the fingers
and represented nothing but money: but
today, when the art OF the gemsetter has
been revived and things are as we'll done

If one wears gloves every evening why
buy rings? The women have answered
that question by emitting gloves TO

true in England and New York than
anywhere else The French women are

THE VALUE OF
GOOD FIGURE
BY ABIGAIL MOORE,

How to reduce" chow to build up"
these are the problems for great many
women. but an important question is
how to keep a good figure after you have
acquired it or to maintain the proper
tons that nature condescended to give
YOU
After the age of twenty-five the prob
lem becomes more perplexing. If the
tendency is to put on flesh, everything
one does seems 10 be just the incentive
to make flesh accumulate: if the tendency
Is to grow thin and for the tissues to
waste away, leaving the skin parchment
like and wrinkled,' then nature seems de-
termined to win in that direction, and
nothing one does seems to invite flesh
OF course. to a considerable degree the
matter is individual What reduces one
woman rolls up fat on another. But
there is one particular point upon which
both methods meet, and that Is irregu-
larity. Whatever course Is taken must
be pursued with regularity in order to
produce an appreciable effect. The wom-
an who from her schoOldays has con-
fined herself to a more or less strenuous
routine of life, getting approximately the
same amount of exercise every day, eat
ing approximately the same amount of
food, it will generally be found main
tains a relative weight and proportions
year in and year out.
i know two women whose weight has
not varied five pounds since they were
sixteen years old, and they are now
forty-two and three, respectively. AS
they are unknown to each other. 1t Is
interesting to note that their habits have
been comparatively similar. Neither eats
much meat, neither touches fat. though
both are fond of butter, and one of them
at least attributes the fact that she has
maintained her superb figure through all
these years without speclai elort 10 ner
fondness for salt.
She rarely touches high-seasoned con-
diments, but uses salt rather more freely
than most persons. But she atso at
tributes some praise to her activity both
Of body and mind. Lassitude Is dead
ly foe of a good figure. II one is thin
this inactivity causes a lack Of circulation
that keeps the flesh from being nourish-
ed properly, and II one Is inclined to
avoirdupois. then it causes the muscles
to sag from disuse Ihen' because the
flesh in it's place, the flesh of its own
weight falls around the hips or under the
chin or gathers about the abdomen.
Most sports are excellent for keeping
the figure trim and trig. providing the
appetite they sharpen is properly curbed
Golf especially is recommended, and ten
mis- is 4 prime medium for keeping the
flesh away from hips and waist, as also
are the stretching exercises.
The idea that should be held in mind
is that the body must be kept supple, and
in order to accomplish that all the mus
