gauntlet, her gesture may
prove thing Of grace as wen %
challenge.
For the gauntlet--and IT'S just
that, too. the glove having slid
adown the dim, drear tobogganfof
the past-suddenl has become like
no hand-covering ever before Of
fered In the Avenues bazaars Of
the blest.
First OF all, they must be trim
med; frilled up with plated band
ings or Roman key embroiderings.
or puffs or hand-paintings Of one
sort or another.
Positively the fanciest glove
year this city of slightly intoxi-
Gated taste In dress ever. ever has
known. May madame survivD Ill
There Is an elbow-length pair of
white suede gloves, for instance.
designed to Fit smoothly and close.
And all the way down the outside
OF either Is a fluted ruffIe, not too
narrow, sticking out for all the
world like the fins Of a fish
Another pair Of long, white kid
gloves is stencfled with rows and
rows of Pharaohs. pyramids. cam
els, cabalistic signs, mummies and
other defunct objects, in duiled
colors that look as IL they had en-
dured great age.
Another pair is neither long nor
short, but runs up on the forearm

Each wrist trims itself with .
wide band OF checkered silk In
colors forming startling contrast

round the arm.
A. fourth. pair, with deep, wide
/ gauntlets. rejoices in all the novel

nits, dwarfed pines and so on,
that go into Japanese print.
i Finally there is the gauntlet Of
soft, fawn-colored suede with
ultra-long fingers and band Of
ribbon wound round the wrist and
i tied In a wide bow.
THE strange little doll which
Madame took to her arms and
carried round all winter has
found place Of usefulness in the
list of her accessories.

Another is beauteous creature.

form a toque which snuggles the
head all the way round.
| There are four. tiny, closely
plated frills round the bottom.
The shoulders and head of the
ziegfeldian lady rise saucily In the
center with a pair Of plated
rosettes over each ear.
| A MOTHER accessory that has
caught the fancy Of the
fashionable and is holding 1t light.
ly as the touch of a flirt, Is the
Spanish touch. It's one OF these
things that you flaunt or repu-
date, as the humor seizes you.
and it completely transforms the
character Of a costume.
Spanish lace, black & you
please, but often flame colored or
Erin green, does the trick.
You have it caught TO the
bottom of your gown In deep

you wind a bit Of 1t round your
shoulders and develop Castillian
shrug.

entirely plain, with narrow
