Just Plain Gloves Are
Not Sufficient This

GLOVES are an index to good groom

GLOVES are an index to good groom
ing this Autumn.
Given an individual type Of costume,
and you will be doing yourself an in
justice if you do not dress up your
hands to match the costume.
But what the we'll costumed hands
will wear this Winter depends on you,
your moods and the occasion for which
you are dressing There are such end
less numbers of gloves and so many
different types that your glove box or
drawer should contain a few ordinary
plain slip-one and at least five differ
ent types for day wear on various
occasions.
The plain glove is still excellent. But
no one this Winter will be satisfied to
wear just plain gloves. The fancy
sleeves ask a little help in the matter
of elegance. Is it fair TO yourself to
have a suit or coat with most unusual
collar and sleeve arrangement. and then
not point it up with a pretty hat and
lovely gloves?
Probably the most important day
glove combines two colors. The beige
or gray glove takes on tone and indi-
viduality with pipings, stttchings, but
tons. godets and even ruffes OF color.
But the majority of these all are pull
ons The old cuff glove is almost gone.
The new glove takes fanctness seriously
from the wrist line up. But that upper
consists in a sloping, f1aring or split ex-
tension of the glove itself, and not an
added cuff that is stitched on at the
wrist line.
Black gloves are fine for evening. But
the street glove asks that it be fairly
light in color or else a rich navy, green
or purple red to match up some of the
perfectly stunning suit and coat shades
for Winter.
For the brown suit or coat there is
neat little brown calfskin glove that
pulls on and has a curved open wrist
portion. 1t has fine stitchings in the
color of the calfskin. but the cuff is
piped in brown and on the wrist is an
anchor OF brown appliqued kid. 1t is
the perfect glove for runabout shopping
or regular street wear.
Should your new outfit be green. then
there is charming glove of beige glace
kid with green appliques 1t is six
button length pull-on, with wide fancy
stitchings in green, and a rather lacy
design of the green on the wrist por-
ton and outlining the tops.
When you start out to luncheon, your
gloves will give you real assurance of
perfect grooming. If you choose them
right. There is a novel. one-button
glove among the new offerings that is
very distinctive for its, pale pink kid
material and for its original pipings-

Maids Nowadays
Have Good Rooms

House a maid like a pig and you
can't blame her II she lives IKE pig,
remarked a blunt housewife when she
looked through a new house with an
agent who hoped to sell 1t to her.
The maids room of the house was
placed under the caves of the third
fioor-a room with single window that
suggested insufferably hot nights. But
even this room was many degrees bet
ter than the rooms that were desig-
mated maids rooms in houses built q
generation or two ago.
Housewives and maids alike have
changed their ideas as to what consti-
tutes proper maids accommodations
The fact is that servants quarters in
some really unpretentious houses now
adayS possess conveniences - running
water, bath room. steam heat, large
windows-that would have been counted
luxury for many a mistress genera
ton or two ago.
One problem that presents itself to
the builder is how to keep the maid
quarters apart from the family in this
day when every extra hall or stairway
adds enormously to the cost of building.
The old trick, of course, was to have
back stairs and back hall and maids
quarters either IN a separate wing or
on the third floor.
In some recently built houses the
problem has been solved by placing the
maids room on the ground floor.
Sonetim it opens directly on the
kitchen, but this has obvious disad-
vantageS. Better planning shows the
maids room across a small hall from
the back entrance, leading also to the
kitchen and the front hall.

Autumn COlors

Brown instead of blacks and near
blacks are important for Autumn.
While black has perennial appeal
to the smartly dressed woman, and
while French dressmakers always in
cline to the use of it, a definite effort
has been made to make use Of shades
of brown instead of black for con-
ventional street clothes. Cabot of Paris,
is in the vanguard of this movement.
and doubtless we shall see a great deal
of brown during the Autumn.
At the same time, there are various
dark shades of navy blue of green and
purple that are spoken of as near-black
or lighter than-black There is plum
black" and dark burgundy called link"
that are much discussed at present.
There is definite smartness in green
this Autumn and many of the SnarteSt
street costumes from Paris are devel-
oped in the darker, richer tones of this

TVEN men like mirrors as part of
r. the decoration of room. And
women adore them. Pretty
women, naturally, realize that
their reflection but adds to the
attractiveness Of the room. Ugly women
realize that good mirrors are slightly
fiattering, and that their reflected looks
are better than their actual looks.
Mirrors increase and emphasize the
size Of the room. Placed judiciously,
they reflect the loneliness Of a windows
prospect or an open door in way to
make the room larger and more at
tractive. A mirror above a mantel
holding q bowl of flowers makes the
room seem flower decked.

French Toast.

In one interesting old cookery book
the dish. that most Of us know as French
toast is described under the heading Of
Queen Elizabeth'S Toast" It would be
interesting to know how this name orig
mated and whether this greatest of
English Queens had prediction for
this toothsome dish Toothsone it is
when properly made and only the one
who has actually tried to make it knows
what difficulties attend the task.
Like poaching eggs, however, it seems
a simple enough thing to do when you
have the knack At the high-class res
taurants the price of French toast is out
of all proportion to the simple ingredi-
ents of which it consists. The infer
ence is that the making of it demands
the attention of high-priced cook
OF course, you know how to go about
it. Take medium thick slices of bread
that is a trifle stale. Have ready in a
soup plate one or two eggs beaten UP
with milk in the proportion of cupfuI
to every egg. Dip the slices Of bread in
this. allowing them TO soak up the egg
and milk without becoming soggy Much
depends on this Meantime have ready
a griddle creased with tablespoonful
or so Of butter and hot enough to fry
the bread quickly, but not too quickly.

brown on the other, and serve at once.

them. as We have seen. from the days
in which they were revived in the last
century.
FROM the Directoire and Empire
fashions of the first part of the
nineteenth century have come the
sleeves that show short puffs or ruff
fes near the shoulder. From 1890
1910 period they have taken sleeves
full from the elbow to the Shout
der, and from the same period the
dropping shoulder line. From the
l850-1860 period we have the leg O.
mutton sleeve and from the 1880 period
shoulder to below the elbow with
marked fullness above the wrist. And
so on through the century.
If you want TO get this sleeve situa-
ton well in mind, glance through the
pages Of a book dealing with the his
tory of costume in the last century and
compare the sleeves with those seen in
the smartest of the new dresses. You
will realize that each Of these is in fact
a revival, but despite their diversity you
will observe that there is something
about them all that marks them dis
tinctly with the date 1880
AS whole they are simpler in con-
struction, less fussy and more grace
ful than their prototypes If the full
ness occurs above the elbow, then the
lower portion of the sleeve is closely
fltted to reveal the slender lines of the
lower arm. If the fullness occurs below
the elbow then the sleeve is closely
fitted or draped above the elbow. There
is never anything bulky or over-elab-
crate about even the most ambitious
Of these revivals.
A MONG the most clever of the de-
signs are the new double sleeves
that give the effect Of light gloves with
a dark dress. Here the sleeve is made
TO conform to the lines of the arm
from the shoulder TO line few inches
below the elbow. where flare or cuff
of the dark material indicates a sleeve
Of three-quarter length. Below this

been noted not only on coats and street
dresses but on afternoon dresses as we'll

New Mode Shows
Elaborate Details

This Is q season when we do al
sorts of things that we vowed we
would never do again. We are wear.
ing evening dresses that dangle round
our insteps and ankles-and most Of
us vowed we never would do that. We
are wearing troublesome lingerie collars
and cuffs and vestees that have to be
taken out and washed or sent to the
cleaners and then fussily Sewed In
again-and we at least hoped we would
never have to do that again. And II we
are very up to date we are wearing
long lace-edged slips or even petit
coats with our long evening and after
noon dresses thing that most women
considered definitely out Of the ques.
ton few seasons ago.
The new, long petticoats are most
amusing, because they are so very much
like the sort of thing that we consid-
cred impossible such short time ago.
They At snugly at the waist and hips
and flare out toward the knees, Extend
ing actually down the ankles where
they are edged with lace.
The tendency for more deliberately
trimmed hats must perforce move
slowly, but here and there among the
new French berets and bonnetS inter-
esting' trimming makes its appearance.
There are pairs of very small quilts at
the sides of some of the new brimmed
hats and sometimes two small feathers
are placed just behind the left ear
on a brimless hat.
Some Of the new coats for Winter
are made with the bodice portion en-
tirely of fur which extends just to the
belted waistline, giving the effect of q
bolero. Sometimes the sleeves of these
coats are of fur down to the elbows
with the lower sleeves like the skirts
of the coat made of cloth. In other
coats fiaring cuffs of fur extend up to
the elbow, the upper part Of the sleeves
being of cloth. The short capelet Of
fur. as worn by women of the eighties
and nineties, inspires other Winter
coats which show elbow-length cape
and rolling collar of fur over q long
coat of cloth

Dress or Gown
Robe or Frock ?

Most persons call them dresses"
This is the term that has been usually
adopted by the makers of this branch
of apparel and the name that Is used
by the retailers. Ladies and Misses
Dresses" is the direction the elevator
man is taught to give, not Ladies and
Misses Frocks.''
While this word dress" Is most usual,
there are some people who object to its
use in this sense Some persons always
speak of "frocks" and others of gowns"
Perhaps the chief objection TO the
term dress is that, correctly. it should
be applied to all that is worn from head
to foot. When you read "her dress was
rich" or "her dress was inappropriate, :"
you naturally take 1t to mean her entire
apparel, not merely her gown or frock.
The word robe" which came into
fashion the middle of the last century
in this sense, Is spoken of in 1852 as
"a French mantuamaker's affectation."
Correctly 1t Is the apparel Of kings and
judges. Certainly this word hardly fits
the sort Of dress that women wear now
adays. 1t limplies something rather
stately and flowing.

Color by Night

Some women seem to follow the gen.
eral rule never to wear bright colors
save for evening or for very bright sun
light. For street wear and daytime
wear generally, save at the seashore or
country. they choose dark or neutral
tones. Thus there are French women
of good taste who habitualy choose
black or navy blue or beige, according
to the fashion. for daytime frocks, in
and about Paris, but don bright and
vivid colors for the months they spend
at some seaside Summer resort.
The fact is that in the cold penetrat-
ing light of our cities it is difficult to
wear bright colors and still to look
smart. This Is especially true OF older
women.
One authority on such matters says
that the woman with blue eyes should
wear blue in the evening. OF course the
blue-eyed woman would hardly be ex-
pected always to wear blue, but she
should certainly not miss the opportu-
nifty of sometimes wearing color that
SO becomes her. especially this season,
when the blue evening frock is so smart.

type of sleeve has obvious advantages.
I ONG gloves have established their
place in the evening mode and are
bidding now for favor in the daytime
wardrobe. There are new fur jackets
with sleeves that end in a slight fare
below the elbow, to be worn with elbow
length gloves. Under fur coat of that
sort one wears a dress with long sleeves,

Small buttons, usually covered with
the fabric of the dress, are used to or
nament many of the new sleeves. These
buttons may extend in straight line
from the center of the shoulder to the
wrist on the outside of the sleeve, over
two dozen small buttons being used for
a single sleeve Or there may be a line
of them from wrist to elbow on a sleeve
that shows fullness at or above the ell
bow. Or this line of buttons may ex-
tend only three or four inches up from
the elbow
