Equally well-liked fabric gloves, patterned after the kid ones In style, are made of double silk, ch&moisette. and suede lisle. They are found most practical for those whose glqves must stand daily wear. To these may be added the always fashionable gloves of chamois skin that are as washable as those made of fabrics. Preferred colors in kid are black stitched with white, white stitched with black, and tan gloves with selfcolor stitching. Stitchlngs in heavy lines are featured, and machine stitching which outlines the fingers along all seams, with thread contrasting in color with the kid, is an item not to be overlooked in selecting smart gloves.
