FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN

MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MATTER OF GLOVES. Worn Too Tight, They Will Bpoll the Look of Even the Most Dainty Hand—First Putting on Important. Nothing makes a hand more unnattractlve than a glove that is too tight. Yet how often one sees women with their hands almost bursting from thefr gloves, so tightly are they squeezed Into them. A too tight glove will make even a Blender, graceful hand look commonplace and pudgy and a hand inclined to flesh almost repulsive. So in choosing gloves one should be very careful to get them large enough, and to have the patience to have them properly fitted in the first place by a good glove fitter. If they are not fitted properly at first the tips of the fingers nevep work down and the hand Is made rldlculouß and dowdy by the pointed tips. If the fitting is properly done the gloves will not twist and wrinkle, and will actually wear longer than if hurried Carelessly over the fingers for the first time.

If one has to put on gloves without the assistance of a fitter the hands should be warm and the gloves well powdered, then the fingers should be Insinuated into their receptacles, and finally the thumb and the hand shotftd be fitted, but not until the fingers have been carefully worked in. To remove the 'glove pull It over the hand and do not drag it by the finger tips, for this spoils the Bhape completely. After removing the gloves and turning them right side again they should have the stretchers used to restore the shape and should be sprinkled again with powdered French chalk.: < Fresh gloves are a necessary adjunct to the toilet of the woman seeking daintiness, but when they are cleaned they should be cleaned several days before they are to be worn, so that the fumes of gasoline, and no odor is more objectionable to the sensitive nostril, may entirely disappear, otherwise the whole effect of one’s personality may be marred by the disagreeable fumes of gasoline. ~
