Here's a trick that's to be per-
formed with cuffs instead of with
out. More than once we've wiped
the smirk off our pans because we
inadvertently observed that some
poor devil was wearing a dress
shirt that consisted OF nothing
more than the false front. But
now women will be demode who
don't wear cuffs that snap on or
off as the occasion demands. jim
my Durante ought to have thought
of these new gloves with detach-
able cuffs, but Patou beat him TO
it. Wear your black glace kid gloves
for luncheon with cuffs of marsh
mellow white bengaline, and while

the bengalines. and on the bright
velvet cuffs. That takes care of
