About Cloves

A Frenoh woman's gloves are proverbial. They always fit well, are never to be seen soiled and keep that shape as long as they last. The secret of all this lies in the fact that the French woman knows how to buy gloves and knows how to take care of them, too. The well-dressed American woman will spend twice as much everv year upon her gloves as the French woman will and still not always look as neat. But he American woman is fast learning the art of glove-buying and glovewearing, says the Chattanooga News. It used to be that she would order a half-dozen pairs sent her in a fancy box and fit them on herself. Now she goes to the glove shop or to the glove counter of some big dry goods house and has the professional fitter there try them on, for thre is much in the first putting on of a glove. If it is stretched and twisted in the fitting it will never look elegant again. Loose, thick gloves are the only ones that are considered fashionable for street wear. The most popular shade just new is a reddish brown stitched with heavy black silk. None of the seams is finished. That is, the kid is merely cut and stitched down. Such gloves are very durable and if of the best kid will clean over and over again without appearlng any the worse for it. Of course, for real dressy wear the glove fits closer, is thinner and finely flnished. Undressed kid is not nearly so fashionable as formerly. The dressed kid of a fine, soft finish is worn exclusively by the modish woman in all but long evening gloves; in these undressed kid in black and all light shades are approved by fashion. Gloves that exactly match the gown have not been regarded as absolutely necessary for some years past Thig order oí things still continúes.
