Gloves.

The origin of gloves is very ancient
Some authorities assert that they were
known in Bible times, from references
made to "shoes" which We're thought
to be identical with gloves. The first
clear account of gloves comes, how
ever, from Xenophon. This writer
speaks Of the Persians wearing gloves
OH their hands to protect them from
the cold. Homer describes Laertes
working in his garden with gloves
npon his hands to protect them from
the thOrns, and VarrO mentions this
apparel as being worn by the Romanss
Gloves have been tokens of solemn and
important things from the ninth CEN
tury. They were adopted as a rite Of
the church, and later the transferring
of lands or titles was always attended
with the presentation of gloves. In
the eleventh century the method of
challenging to single combat by throw
ing down a glove was instituted. and
this custom still remains in some coun-
fri Z

Two Strenuous Lives.

Clovis Hughes. the French journalist,
poet and duelist. filled his fiftyiive
years Of life with sufficient excitement
to make him worthy of special men
ton. One of his claims to distinction
was that he had engaged in a French
duel which resulted fatally-for the
other man. He was a tempestuous
radical and was once suspended from
the chamber of deputies for insulting
remarks to the president, which did
not ut all curb him. He wrote a num-
ber of novels. poems and plays in
which he sought to spread socialistic
propaganda, and he wrote II preten-
tous five act drama in verse called
lie Sommeil de Danton' c'The Sleep
Of Danton''), which was produced at
the Opera Comique. His wife contrib
uted her share of excitement by killing
public official in the palace of justice
because of an alleged insult. Before
she was tried she wrote and acted La
Vegeance de Nine. Clovis Hughes"
The play depicted her sensational act
and represented her as triumphantly
exonerated by the court. When her
trial came the court did as predicted.

Hair Hiqh In the Air.

Women's hair used to be dressed to
an amazing height in days OF old
Formerly doorways had to be height

Women of that time had to kneei In
