In view OF the fact that there has

gloves are veritable treasures.
And as they increase in price. so
increases our desire to have them
ornate. We want each pair of gloves
we own to be different from the other.
We would like to feel that they were
different from the gloves of the other
women we know. When we pay 50
large a price we like to feel that we
have acquired distinction.
Gloves really are getting to be quite
ornate. They are stitched and often
they show open work over silk lin
ing or over kid of contrasting color.
Gauntlet gloves are in high favor. So
are mousquertaire gloves.
Either of these two sorts of gloves
are worn over the cuff of the frock
or suit. not tucked under. as was the
style some years ago With the very
short sleeves that have made a rather
belated entrance into American favor
after their popularity in Paris last
summer we. of course. wear long
gloves. but they are not very long
They do not usually reach the elbow.
When we wear a wrap we may wear
short gloves and very short sleeves.
That is the way the French women
do, usually having a toga or cape as
the wrap. But when we are going to
to wear the short sleeves and the
gloves without a wrap, as we might
for reception or something of that
sort then we wear gloves that only
approach the end of the sleeve There

Kid and Leather Have Risen to
High Place in Fashions for the
Winter, When One Needs Top
Coats or Short Jackets
New York-The scarcity OF leather
during the war made the fabric FASH
ionable. The moment an embargo was
laid upon it by the Government the
dressmakers conceived the idea Of
using it for ornamentation.
The world wags this way. Whatever
Is feI hidden becomes desirable. The
story is as old as Eve. and therefore
not worth the telling
1t is said that if the odds and ends
Of leather used on women's apparel
were computed into a final result, it
would be found that more leather had
been used in this way than the gov
eminent prohibited for the making of
shoes
France did not hesitate to adopt
fabric shoes and trim her clothes with
TO going about in sandals if they
could wear turbans of kid.
THE SITUATION HERE
In America there were few ex-
tremists who took UP leather coats
last year, but they were looked upon
askanee Clothes were not trimmed
with leather and the milliners had not
thought of bringing out mats OF niue.
Suddenly the fashion got a boom.
Those of us who were in Paris dur
ing the autumn exhibitions saw that
leather was rampant in women's ap-
parel. 1t was the ornamentation of
the hour next to ostrich feathers and
PAINTED paillettes.
The fashion then crept into Amer
lea ir small desree and its first
recos milton was in coats of kid or
colored leather. At first the women
refused to buy these, thinking they
were only for rainy weather. but they
eoon found that thoS were substitutes
for cloth coats. Short Jackets of
leatLer were advised by the best
houses as substitute for tailored
suits and separate skirts with pep
Jun b fuses Of wool or silk jersey wece
worn beneath
The initial expense of such a cos
tune was about the same as that of
good tailored suit, put one could get
variety and reduce the expense by
buying or making odds and ends Of
skirts.
