Show (jlOVES the IDEAL I I CHRISTMAS GIFT -0" Bother: Qloves again wltb evening gowns'" You hear It on every side. Women have become so accustomed to the delightful freedom and unconventionallty of bare hands that the dignified restriction of gloves seenij a positive hardship. Nevertheless gloves it Is to be. Fashion Fash-ion says so. And no woman ever departs de-parts from Fashion s mandate unless she has tremendous courage and feel superior to conventions. She maj delay de-lay for a while and follow her own inclinations but sooner or later she falls Into line and wears what other women do oi feels conspicuous and uncomfortable In her independence. So gloves it is to be. Glomes with dance frock as well as afternoon fro( :. Gloves at the opera- and at every affair af-fair of formality except the formal dinner. Time was when women ai-ivajs ai-ivajs wore long buttoned gloves to dinner parties and drew off the gloves when seated at table And you and I can remember how we u:jed to tuck the hands of our gloves back in the wrist portion when lunching or din;ng at a restaurant. There have been women so lost to the ethics of good taste that they have Btpned tea' through closely adjusted e;Is rather than remove the veil: But no woman will tackle bread and jam at afternoon tea. or little sticky iced cakes, with her fingers encased in kid gloves at j four dollars the pair Gloves will make an Ideal Christmas' remembrance this year. They arc almost al-most as high priced as jewelry and the average woman cannot afford to add more than half a dozen pairs to her winter wardrobe maybe she will get along on less than that. So an x-Ira x-Ira pair or so as a Christmas gift V be thoroughly appreciated. Several things arc responsible for the hi-.i glove prices of the moment and in all probability these dreadful prices will come down after awhile, as conditions right themselves: But the come down will not occur this year or next year In all probability. For one thing dressed skins for gloves are extremely expensive and It is hard to get good dyes. Then too. so many of the French glove makers were killed j 'lit M . in White .i.

On top of all this Fashion, the inconsequent incon-sequent decides that gloves are a desirable de-sirable and indispensable detail of , dress So scarcity of gloves on the j one side and an Increasing demand for 'gloves on the other have been bound I to drive prices up. And (here you are' The really Ideal Christmas plove will be a twenty-button model; that is. a I j glove extondinp well above the elbow. : and Intended for wear with a sleeve-! I less evening frock. Sixteen button lengths will answer for the frock that has a bit of a sleeve or a whlsp of tulle over the top of the arm.
