PERFUME AND GLOVES
For years, little French shops
along the Rue de Rivoli that
sell only gloves and perfume
have found that American
tourists always have returned
home with these two gifts for
friends. The natural affinity
between perfume and gloves
has long been recognized.
When knighthood was in
flower. the ladies of the Span
iSh court wore perfumed
gloves to make any swain
swoon with delight. Queen
Elizabeth introduced the vogue
for perfumed gloves in the
10th century to England.
Today, the romance Of
scented gloves has lost none
of its glamour. The Conti-
mental custom of hand-kissing
may hit our shores with a big
furry if American women
take to using perfume at all
times at the wrists and spray
ing it on the hands. This i'm

famous glove company of
France has come up with a
delightful new idea, To match
