What's in Fashion?
Wrists Slim in New Gloves
Directed BIZ AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, oct. 3-If you're
l old enough, you'll remember
the daintily gloved hands and slim
wrists Of the ladies of the gay '90s.
Or, if you're on the sunny side of
30, you can at least recall the pre-
war days when no woman was con
sidered a lady if she appeared on
the street glove-less.
Then for a while women we're "a
ther informal and forgot their
gloves. But now they're elegant
ladies again and proudly remember
that the gloVed hand holds hidden
charms.
Trim Waists - Trim Wrists
There's many a glove trick this
fall that makes for trim wrists
wrists that look ladylike and ele-
CANT in the old-fashioned way. And
the trim wrist certainly goes with
the trim, more slender waist women
have this fall.
The classic wrist-htting glove is
the demi-mousquetaire-the glove
with a wrist button generally at the
front but on some Of the newer one
placed at the side.
Others have elastic shirred under
the front of the wrist, or a strap
may button it neatly in place.
Wide Cuffs Are Swank
Even The plain slip-on glove that
women like so well is now being
made to fit the wrist more snugly.
And you'll be seeing lots Of these
in four and six-button lengths.
Slim-wristed gloves with rather
wide, faring cuffs are swank to
wear early in the fail with that new
suit or lightweight wool dress.
But when the fall coat goes on
and these wide-cuffed gloves don't
seem to fit as we'll under the coat
sleeve-try the short, one-button
glove. It's in fashion again.
Wear the Right Color
Glove colors are inspired by cos
tune colors. Sometimes they match
and sometimes contrast, but always
they're in harmony with the cos
tune color scheme.
That makes black gloves i'm
portant this fall. There'll be lots
of black coats, as you'll see, so
there1l be lots of black gloves, too.
But there'll be many brighter
colored coats, too-dark reds and
dark green's. And the black glove
makes a smart accent with these,
especially when they're trimmed
with black fur.
Brown a Winner
Brown is another winning glove
color this fall. Why? Because
women are going to wear more
brown coats than they've worn for
several seasons. And lots of colored
coats trimmed with brown fur.
Dark, clear brown is the best
shade.
But-you say your dark coat is
trimmed with light fur. All right
then you might choose a beige glove.
And this falls beige is a neutral
tone and darker than it was last
year.
And if you're a little tired of
wearing plain, one-tone gloves, then
change off to the new two-tone
ones. Their decorations are simple
landings for the most part-so
simple they're not obtrusive.
Short Gloves for Evening
Now that you're an elegant lady
again, don't forget to dress up for
afternoon. White gloves are the
thing. And smart they are, too, with
the black velvet that's SO fashion,
able for afternoon dresses and suits.
And remembering the Empress
Eugenie-whence comes the inspira-
ton for many a good fall fashion
it's of interest to know that she
wore short gloves in the evening.
And that's the newest 1881 evening
glove fashion.
OF course long gloves are still
fashionable, worn wrinkled to about
the elbow. But for something new,
look at the short ones with
bracelet tops or little bow decora-
tions. We're already seeing them
worn by fashionable New Workers.
