In polite circles conversation con-versation is of a nature so general that continual con-tinual talking of one's self is considered ill-bred ill-bred and vulgar. Never interrupt conversation at any time or in any place. A good listener is a great boon to mankind. There is a code of rules which is the result of all these observances. A sentence, an incident, au opinion expressed ex-pressed should be given without interruption. Be careful in carrying small bundles or parcels on which the name of the shopkeeper shop-keeper appears. A silk bag for these small purchases obviates this difficulty and makes for the buyer a helpful article in traveling or shopping. It is not necessary at all times to offer your seat to a lady in a street car or omnibus, but there are two cases when it should be the inevitable rule au eiderly lady or a woman with a child in her arms. To either this courtesy should be extended. Consideration Consid-eration for age and helplessness is always appreciated. Silks, Matins, Velvets. The new changeable velvets, which are the most striking novelty of the season, usually throw out pink and green lights, though there are velvets in silver and turquoise blue, eminence purple, a dark red dahlia shade, which shows lights of a pale tint of Parma violet. These velvets seem to be woven with an under surface of changeable color under a dark nap of still a third shade. Satin broche effects are by no means abandoned. There are many stripes of roses and all-over ii'jrurea of inierlacingiWheat- KID CLOVES ARE CAY. They Come in Tints and Some Have Cuffs and Bright Buttons. Gloves show daring transgressions of conventional con-ventional ideas. Gauntlet gloves are brought out in visiting tints and ornamentings, and tho derby glove, lap-stitched and with the regulation big buttons, is to be seen in the most delicate shades. Think of it a derby glove in pale blue, pink, etc. Some of the gauntlets are tremendous affairs, af-fairs, the very largest gauntlUvcr shown, while others are tiny things, just pointed cuffs. The fancy gauntlets are in white and all the light shades, and are embroidered f elaborately with colored silks and small ; beads. The richest material used in the new imported im-ported dresses is the new miroir velvet, throwing out brilliant iridescent hues from its rich, dark surface. This material is madtj into stately reception gowns, in combination combina-tion with Venetian guipure or with Genoa lace. There is a revival of tartan effects in millinery milli-nery and silks, and gay blouses of tartan silk aro seen in connection with woolen dresses. The importers have not invested heavily in these tartan silks, and they are difficult to obtain. Heavy laces like black guipure and white Genoa lace are largely used in millinery and for garniture for the few French dresses that have so far been displayed. Light and Dark Colore the Mode. The prevalence of light-colored wool costumes cos-tumes this winter will be in marked contrast to the equally fashionable deep-toned gowns ana jackets. Iu addition to faced cloth and the lighter Venetian cloths, there will be worn plain camel's hair costumes very rough of surface, frequently lined across with bars of raised shaggy camel's hair in contrasting colors. Light-colored French felt hats and bonnets will be worn en suite. There also appear again neat and stylish head coverings cover-ings made of cloth matching the costume, these largely iu toque or turban shapes toques, on the whole, still taking the lead. 1 A new gloTe feature is the cuff, which is not a gauntlet, but a straight cuff, made by j pipings of contrasting color white on dark " tints, dark on light. Sometimes the cuff is double, and one style has diagonal slashings on the lower cuff, showing a contrasting kid beneath. Another idea is to have. the big to buttons to match the gloves in color. Pur- pie-pink derbies have buttons of the same I tint. A faint green, scarcely more than a green white, is an exquisite shade in these queer gloves, and there are bright yellow and glaring Mephisto red gloves to match the Mephisto veils, fans, handkerchiefs, hose, slippers, crepes, silks and pocket-books. pocket-books. An ugly glove has a broad gore of contrasting con-trasting kid, usually white on colors, set in for the buttons aud buttonholes. When the glove Is buttoned two gores form a wide inset in-set or plastern. Biarritz gloves come in navy blue, stitched with white. Th'j deep navy blue is shown in other lines of gloves witli self-stitching. The color is a perfect match for the dark blue storm sersre that is made up for whiter wear ia reefer suits to replace the blazer suits of the summer. Pretty Suede gloves come in a soft red that is as far removed from Mephisto as from crimon. Warm cloth gauntlets are selling at 50 cents. Children's kid gloves appear with all varieties of the gauntlet, and for school there are dark cashmere gauntlet gloves at 60 cents. Xew York Times. G.101I Mnaners.
