This year, more than ever before, Il
the demand for originality manifest
Ing itself In gloves, both In those
made here and In France. says a fash
Ion writer In the Kansas City Star.
With the single exception OF evening
gloves. the keynote Is to be found In
color contrasts Even the gloves that
one wears with a tailored costume re
feet the tendency toward briIiiance
and vfvacity.
The gloves themselves may range
throughout the entire chromafic scale
from white TO black. II is In the en-
broideFy, and most particularly In
embroidered cuffs, that the contrasts
are found Cuffs turn back, revealing
brilliant Innings OF silk or leather
Combinatio OF black and white are
many. An interesting and attractive
example Of the association OF these
two colors is found In black kid gloves
with reversed cuffs lined with per
forated white hid. through which the
black ground accents the pattern OF
the perfoFatIons. The same effect IS
acquired In many instances with
gloves lined with black. green, brown,
red. or IN fact almost any other color.
The lighter shades or tan such Is
fawn, beige. sand, mode and mastfc.
are worn extensively this spring. EN-
bF0ideFed either In direct contrast O.
In a darker brown shade.
An original note fs the tassel. For
afternoon wear, gloves with turned
down cuffs brightly embroidered have
long tassels pendant from the wrist.
Before the season il much further ad-
vanced every weI1-dressed woman will
have at least one pair OF tasseled
gloves. For the most part the tas-
sells are OF silk, either to match the
leather or in contrast, for example,
tassels Of jet beads hanging from
gloves OF white mocha. The cuffs,
turned back, were lined with black
MORE on which the design was en-
broidered i'm beading
Scalloped edges are seen frequently,
cuffs are formed BY series OF scallopa
OVERLAND after the manner or flower
petals. The effect Is altogether charm
Ing.
Ribbons are used on the new gloves
A pair that is receiving much favor
able comment is Of beige suede witt
cuffs edged with a narrow band OF sill
ribbon, printed with some bright, i'm
tricate pattern. Paisley In used freely
for this purpose, as are the motifl
from China, India. Egypt and tn,
Scandinavian countries.
One Of the leading French manu-
facturers has made gloves OF whit
mocha with short, fiaring cuffs t
which are attached squares Of brigh
plaid ribbons to make a wide, thougl
very Happy gauntlet cuf.
The woman who really gives du
consideration to appearance and tast
wears nothing but pure white glove
for evening. Not even in the stitch
ing Is any contrast permissible; EN-
broideries must be as white as tn
leather itself. Only In the choice o
feathers is any latitude allowable thi
spring. Evening gloves may be Q
shiny kid or velvety suede.
As for length, the short two o
three-button styles are equally appro
pirate with long or short sleeves
Twelve Or sixteen-button lengths ar
permissible with short-sleeved o
sleeveless frocks for informal oecA
sions; 1t Is a matter for individual de
cision, but for evening, fashion de
crees elbow-length gloves.
