And as to fashion, Tulsa's beau

hanced by their beauty also.
Judging from some of the chic
gowns of the season. the modlstos
of today find inspiration and origi-
nalty in copying the quaint cos

the Italian renaissance school also
has been taken the elaborately ex-

1t was a famous wit that once de-
fined the habit of putting on gloves
as follows: IAN Englishwoman puts
on her gloves in her bedroom; the
French woman in her drawing
room. the Irish woman at the front
door and the American, alas, usually

moro and more attention Is being
paid to gloves by the smartly
gowned woman, and her glove
box is crammed with the most
up-to-date models. At a concert the

many women " wearing gray
gloves with black locks little
research in the fashion magazines
brought forth the interesting news
that such a costume was the thing
in the fashion centers. TO balance
out the portrait costume fad is the
new short one-button glove with lit
tie frills at the wrist--the frill on
nosegay as 1t were, which carry out
the likeness 10 a nicely.
In order to give the correct idea
of exactly how these gloves are
worn, one must be able to visualize
the entire costume. Picture men
tally at least. the Parisienne with
her simple crepe frock OF perhaps
wood tan, made with tiny cap
sleeves or "berthas," her rather
long skirt, and her tiny wood brown
mushroom hat, shorter in the back
than in the frQUt, and the whole
completed by little one-button tan
suede gloves. with a circular cuf
pierced TO look like lace work. The
gloves, hat, and frock are entirely
in spirit. "Slimness at any cost" is
the motto OF the hour with the mod
istes, and they make heroic efforts
TO achieve il for their clients. one
method is to use crepe de chine and
merely wrap it around, or so IL APP

Inspired by the scanty clothing of an
Indian Sari are held together by a
jeweled ornament on the side, Ac-
cording to the mack line they can
easily be adapted to either day or
evening wear. If at evening, one
shoulder Is usually uncovered, the
drapery passing under the arm and
the other side having the drapery
fastened high UP on the shoulder.
