10 cents to clean a short pair and ~
cents to clean long pair ones glove
bill does amount up rather high.
If you live where you are allowed TO
use gasoline freely the question or keep

Then let them dry in the air for at least
twenty-four hours.
Some of the new white gloves are
shown with cuffs of colored or black KID,
piIked along the edge: or else there are
with q piping Of color or black.
The backs Of some OF the gloves are
stitched with color, and some even show
beaded stitchery.
These gloves suggest the fantastic trim
ming Of the stockings of the day. And so
do the ones in the sketch Don't they
suggest the anklets worn around stock
ings?
The gloves shown are fitted with small
bracelets, which are slipped well up on
the arm There was day, not SO very
long ago, either, when women wore their
bracelets outside their gloves. Dozens OF
bangles sometimes ratified around the
wrist and wider, heavier bracelets were
worn. too The bracelets in the sketch
are not like the old-fashioned sort. For
they are contrived especially to wear over
gloves. The one on the right Is made of
let. The one in the center shows little
feather bird that clamps closed band OF
fur. On the left there is a band OF
,narabou adorned with artificial cherries.

For the Trying Age.

HERETOFORE there has been a lack
j of properly fitting clothes for
girls from eleven to fifteen years
of age. Girls of such ages are too
young for misses clothes and too
old for childrcns sizes. There are
now sizes 70 suit these ages. The
Larger than for misses. The bodices are
usually of simple style, many having
the low neck and three-quarter sleeve
or the sleeve that turns at the elbow.
Serviceable two-piece dresses have the
modified MILDLY blouse, with a skirt of
contrasting material. The hounce skirt
IS also well liked. For school wear serges,
.abardines and black and white checks
are used. as are also the smaller Scotch
plaids.
Coats for these misses are made with
odd yoke effects. raglan sleeves, kimono
collars and belts placed at the low waist
line Some coats have the flare, which
is so fashionable in women's coats, pro-
,luced by the use Of two fiounces edg-
ing the coat, or by cutting the coat in
Two sections, the lower of which has
considerable fullness. The materials for
these coats include serges. gabardines,
novelty worsteds and silks. smart checks,
fancy mixtures, poplins, worsteds in
crepe effects and rdtines.
Collars and cuffs are of lace. bauste
embroidery or crepe embroidered in white
or colors. Fancy silk collars are used

chamois or whatever it may be; each
sort has its points to recommend it-and
then buy this kind in dozens or half
dozens
There are wholesale houses where
gloves by the whole or half dozen can be
bought at a considerable reduction over
the price for single pair. Even the
woman who must econorpize could affoi
to keep half a dozen pairs of wash gloves
going at once. This would save the trou-
BILE of having to wash a pair at a time
and would further save driving single
pair to death with constant using.
silk gloves have decided disadvantage
over other sorts, but probably as soon as
bound into favor again. They generally
do.
The disadvantage Of silk gloves is that
they make the hand look large, unduly
So because they fit SO tightly about the
wrist. And the long ones make the arm
look skinny and the hand look bony, be-
cause they cling SO skin-tight to the
arm.
| But there are tucked silk gloves that
were brought out last summer which
show tucks going around and around the
arm portions, SO that they are as ample
| looking as the wrinkIed arm Of a kid
glove.
White kid gloves, of the non-washable
sort are not really an extravaganza If
you can have them cleaned inexpensively.

cannot endure the feeling of any glove
that cannot be readily cleaned. For that
reason they discard blacks and browns
and tans. For such women there are
white or tinted chamois or doeskin gloves,
short and long, for outdoor wear.
The cotton imitation gloves are quite
as acceptable as the real chamois or doe
skin. But, In tho best quality. they cost
as much as the real skin gloves. The
advantage they have over the other sort
is that they wash more easily and hold
their shape better.
A good idea for tho woman who wears
washable gloves is to find out kind that
she likes-chamois, doeskin, imitation

Standard Recipes for
an Old Dainty
Which for Centuries
Has Been Assocl-
ated With Day Be-
fore Ash Wednesday
DIR. Samuel John
son Once Ate Thir-
teen Full Sized
Ones, Tradition
Tells Us.

rN the year 1880, John Taylor, who
is called the water poet" gave
this recipe for pancakes: Then
there is a thing called wheaton
floure," he said, which the cookies
90 mingle with water. egges and spice
And then they put il. by little and lit
tie. into frying pan of boiling suel,
where ii makes a confused dismal
hissing-untill at last. by the skill OF
the cooke. IL is transformed INTO the
forms of a flip-jack calfd a pancake.
This isn't very definite recipe but
it is definite enough to show that pan
cakes in the days of the water poet
We're much what they are today.
That they were considered dellcacy
well worth eating century later. we
know from story told of DR.. Samuel
johnson.
1t is said that he was once visiting
Mrs. Mary Palmer sister of Sir JOSH
ua Reynolds. She asked him If he
liked pancakes.
YES" said johnson, but / never get
enough of Them
= :
Now, English pancakes in those days
were baked the size of the Sriddle
They were not the small four or five
inch cakes of today. Mrs. Palmer de-
cided to give Johnson his I'LL of this
delicacy-and when he called halt
he had eaten thirtcen-'enough," let us
hope, for once.
All this has not much to do with the
custom of eating pancakes on the day
before the beginning of Lent-which
is next Tuesday. But, then. nobody
seems to know just why for genera
tons this custom has persisted one
explanation of the custom is that the
old Saxon name for February, the
month in which Shrove Tuesday gem
orally comes, was the month of cakes
aud that in that month the SaxonS Of
fcred cakes to the sun.
So when the English absorbed many
of the Saxon customs and traditions
They decided to have 4 day in Febru-
AIRY devoted to cakes-only they ate
the cakes instead of making an offer
ing of them. Perhaps the Latin coun-
tries borrowed the custom from the
English, for they have it-because 1t
was such tempting, comfortable Gus
tom to borrow.
Anyway. for centuries on the day be
fore the beginning of the Lenten fast,
people have Toasted on pancakes. In
deed. years ago the bell that called
people to confess Oh Shroye Tuesday
was called pancake bell

CAPS That Are at

TT is a long, long time since any fash

boudoir caps has been taken up. 1t
looks now as if these dainty little caps
would never wear out their welcome.
They grow more and more attractive and
more and more popular.
OF course, they are comfortable and
convenient which Is moro than can be
said of some fashions.

The easiest way to copy it. if you can
not find a pattern like it, is to cut two
